We live in a time where having a home birth is a privilege, and the only way to do it with a home birth midwife is to be in peak health.
Lindsey Meehleis is a home birth midwife who is passionate about helping her clients exercise their autonomy. She wants women to know that the best way to give birth wherever you want is to take care of yourself through your diet and lifestyle and that there are simple, affordable ways to do so.
As birth workers, we need the language and insight into how to hold space for a pregnant woman or her partner who goes through one of these tragic, albeit rare, events. Lindsey has an insightful perspective on the divine experiences surrounding birth and death, and I love that she's willing to get deep into this. I’m sure you’ll learn so much from this episode.
