340: HOME BIRTH STORY - Home Birth at the Height of Lockdown in New York with Lauren Rodych-Eberle

How do you deal with the “what if” questions that can come up around any type of birth? Today’s guest Lauren shares how she and her husband Jordan navigated the “what if’s.” For one thing, it wasn’t certain that Jordan would be in town for their birth. It was also unclear if Lauren’s sister-in-law/doula would be able to attend.  And to make matters more interesting, the country went into lockdown while Lauren was in days of prodromal labor.  This story follows Lauren’s initial inspiration for home birth, to the pregnancy and planning and how the birth unfolded in the face of unusual circumstances. Things we talk about in this episode: pregnancy loss, Business of Being Born, doula care, birth during COVID times, meditation and Hypnobirthing Links: Lauren’s blog post of her birth story: https://laurenrodycheberle.com/2020/03/31/my-birth-story/ Lauren’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/LaurenRodychEberle/ Our website: https://www.diahpodcast.com/ Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/3jKtIYv Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diahpodcast/ DIAH YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGoKeBfEZ143sWU7V9I5Gdg DIAH Store: https://yoursuccessfulhomebirth.com/ DIAH Merch: ttps://bit.ly/3qhwgAe Donate to DIAH: https://bit.ly/3qgm4r9
