You’ve hired a midwife, so you’re fine, right? I mean, all midwives are totally amazing, totally wonderful, and totally good at honoring you…. Right?
This week we’re speaking with Bethany, who has given birth to all of her babies at home. However, her first birth experience was not the beautiful, gloriously supported homebirth that we talk about so often on this podcast. No, it was marked with negligence and abuse, and it’s an important conversation for us to have. Luckily we’ll then get to hear the beautiful difference to this experience with her subsequent births.
Before we jump in, let’s take a quick moment to think our reviewer of the week, K Riord who writes
Love this motivational podcast! I am currently pregnant and have enjoyed this podcast so much! I have learned so much about birth.
And if you’re gaining value from this show, would you hop over to apple podcasts and leave us a review? They’re basically Christmas presents to me, and they help tremendously with this show’s reach.
Okay, let’s jump in. Please remember the opinions of my guest many not necessarily reflect my own vice versa; and this show is not meant to prescribe or treat- it’s an educational tool, so continue to take empowered responsibility for your health and your family.
