Foundations for the Childbearing Years
Ep. 15: Your First Birth Is Not A “Trial Run” – Why Home Birth Should Be the Norm
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I’m sharing my unfiltered take on why I believe home birth is the safest, most empowering option for most low-risk moms. From an Aesop’s fable about fear to what I’ve seen as a mom and doula, we’ll unpack how birth location shapes your entire experience.
We’ll cover:
• The real fear behind choosing hospitals
• Why physiologic birth thrives at home
• How hospitals and birth centers can disrupt labor
• What makes home birth peaceful, safe, and designed for your body
If you’re pregnant—or hope to be—this episode will challenge your assumptions and help you think intentionally about where you give birth.
Thanks for listening!
