Pregnancy & Birth Made Easy
Birth Story: Her Husband Caught the Baby Before His Coffee Was Ready - Veronica's Home Birth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What would you do if your baby came so fast… your husband hadn't even had his morning coffee yet?
Veronica planned a home birth... she just didn't plan for it to look like this: her husband catching their daughter in their bedroom, the midwife and doula still an hour away, and a baby who had absolutely no interest in waiting for anyone.
And she definitely didn't plan for her placenta to be so rare that a midwife with YEARS of experience had never seen anything like it...
... Or for that same placenta to be the very reason her intuition had been telling her the entire birth: do not let anyone touch me.
This episode is one of the most complete birth stories I've ever had on the podcast.
We are talking about the full journey:
✅ The mindset work leading up to her birth
✅ The daily prep (including how her toddler held her accountable to her exercises!)
✅ The birth itself (minute by minute, because you need every detail), and what happened after
✅ The post-birth matrescence that I think every single person who loves a pregnant woman needs to hear
Veronica came into her second pregnancy knowing she wanted something different. She just didn't know how different it would actually get.
Here are some highlights from the episode:
- What happened at Veronica's 20-week appointment that changed her entire birth path
- How she navigated switching providers and ultimately choosing home birth
- The daily prep routine she followed throughout her pregnancy
- The reframing that took her from fear to fully trusting her body
- What happened when labor went from 0 to 100 in the middle of the night
- How her husband stepped up and caught their baby completely unexpectedly
- The rare placenta that left even the most experienced midwives speechless
- Her most powerful advice for both moms and birth partners
