Birth Stories: A Nurse Who Opted Out of Hospital Birth

In this conversation, Kaitlyn Scott, a labor and delivery nurse and birth photographer, shares her unique experiences of pregnancy, labor, and the transition to becoming a labor and delivery nurse. She discusses her personal journey of having two babies outside of the hospital, the importance of having a doula, and the empowering experience of home birth. Kaitlyn also reflects on her career shift to labor and delivery nursing and the significance of supporting mothers during childbirth.

Kaitlyn Scott is a dedicated labor and delivery nurse and seasoned ER nurse whose career sits at the heart of life's most transformative moments.
