Olivia’s Home Birth Story: A First-Time Mom’s Experience with Hearth and Home

In this very special episode, Sarah interviews Olivia, a first-time mom who shares her warm, joyful, and honest story of choosing and experiencing a home birth. Olivia walks listeners through her decision to switch to midwifery care, her smooth but emotionally complex pregnancy, and her fast, powerful labor supported by loved ones. She describes the beautiful moment her son was born into his father's hands and the tender postpartum period that followed—complete with both bliss and bouts of anxiety. The conversation highlights the value of personalized midwifery care, postpartum support, and trusting oneself throughout the parenting journey. Listeners are left with encouragement, validation, and insight into the real dynamics of physiologic birth.
