The Home Birth After Cesarean Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
In today's episode we meet Coffee, who is a CRNA and mother to five children. Coffee’s first birth was a cesarean after being drug through the cascade of interventions, followed by a scheduled repeat cesarean. When she was pregnant with her third child, the OB she was seeing was unable to support a VBA2C but gave her a recommendation for a local home birth midwife. Coffee then went on to have three HBA2Cs with her next three children.
Join us as Coffee shares her birth stories and how her beliefs about birth have evolved throughout her journey. We also discuss the lack of humanity and compassionate care that often comes with routine hospital procedures such as cesareans, how transactional a scheduled repeat cesarean can feel, how much more involved our husbands can be when having a home birth, the lack of bonding that can occur when you don’t experience labor (and the mom guilt that comes with that lack of bonding), feeling confident in the choices you make, exploring the question, “but what if my baby dies?”, and how the good OBs seem to be the ones that end up leaving the field because of how much their hands are tied.
Check out Coffee's blog by visiting www.howtobourne.blogspot.com, where she shares her birth stories in detail, along with other pregnancy and mothering related things.
