7: Choosing Home Birth for a 2nd Baby
Oct 15, 2019 Season 1 Episode 6
Lisa Taylor - Birth Matters NYC Childbirth Education & Labor Support

In this episode, Kat & Tom share their positive, empowering story of their 2nd son’s rather efficient birth at home with midwife Cara Muhlhahn (who just happens to both have been host Lisa's midwife for my 2nd baby in Ep. 3 and also is the main midwife featured in the documentary THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN). Other birth support team members were their doula and a friend, who just happens to also be a doula. This birth followed their much more challenging first birth in a hospital environment, which largely informed their decision to give birth at home the second time around. Do keep in mind that this is a 2nd birth, and 2nd births tend to go more quickly and unpredictably than the vast majority of 1st births.
