Births at Home, this podcast is a space where women tell us their positive homebirth stories. We dive deep into the entire journey from how the decision of homebirth was made to choosing a birth team, preparing, and most importantly the birth day! By listening to these stories you will gain knowledge from learning through other women’s experiences. Sharing these empowering stories plays a crucial role in my personal mission to normalize homebirth. It’s not a trend, it’s a movement to bring birth back home!

    Christina shares about her experience with living in France, a very anti-homebirth country, and wanting to birth outside of the medical system. Her dreams of wanting a physiological freebirth and believing she would NEVER go into the hospital system were very abruptly shattered when she found out about her baby's diagnosis. She then realized birth is not so black and white, we were able to discuss a bit about the dangers of freebirth culture, while also holding space for the women who feel a very deep and intuitive call to freebirth. Christina goes on to share her second birth experience which was a full circle moment of getting the birth she had always wanted from the very beginning. *I want to be transparent in saying that I do not support or stand with the Free Birth Society. My values and approach to birth work differ greatly from theirs*

    In this episode of Births at Home: The Podcast, I sit down with Kelly, a mom of four, birth doula, and birth photographer, to talk about her journey from hospital births to her first home birth in November 2024. While home birth is often portrayed on social media as calm, peaceful, and pain-free, Kelly's experience was a reminder that birth is raw, intense, and deeply personal.She opens up about the challenges of pregnancy, transitioning from OB care to traditional midwifery, and the unexpected realities of labor—including a five-hour pushing phase that tested her physically and emotionally. We also discuss how social media can create unrealistic expectations about birth and why it's important to honor every experience, even when it doesn't fit the “perfect” birth narrative.What You'll Hear in This Episode:✨ The realities of home birth vs. how it's often portrayed online✨ Kelly's journey from hospital births to her first home birth✨ The challenges of balancing doula work, military life, and pregnancy✨ Dropping OB care and trusting traditional midwifery for her fourth pregnancy✨ The emotional and physical demands of a long pushing phase✨ The importance of not comparing your birth to what you see on social media✨ Postpartum reflections—accepting your unique birth experience✨ Kelly's work as a birth doula, photographer, and her upcoming move to FloridaKelly's story is a powerful reminder that birth is unpredictable, intense, and transformative—and that no one experience defines what birth “should” look like.Resources & Links:
