I am having a water birth in a birthing center in Mexico, which is wayyyy different than where I had originally thought I would deliver my first baby. But the more I educate myself on home births/birth centers the more I know this is the way for me. I’m so happy to have found your podcast, and am...Read full review »

Love this podcast I look forward to listening a new episode every week. Sarah and Matthew are a breath of fresh air. I have not had a home birth but I have had 4 natural births in 3 different countries Canada, U.S.A and Germany. Germany was by far the best experience I delivered at the most...Read full review »

Most of the episodes are helpful stories or interviews, though sometimes there’s a guest who shares inaccurate info. But overall a can be a good resource for gaining confidence in birth. Sometimes seems like the hosts feel they’re supposed to say something profound but instead end up throwing a...Read full review »

Understandable that there are promotions at the beginning, but I was disappointed to be 10 minutes in and still not at the conversation they said the podcast was about. 😅

So, I’ve followed Sarah Bivens awhile now. I’m glad that there is another voice added to the birth world . Different perspectives and opinions do matter in birth, so that you can form your own stance through that. However, this podcast is geared more in the middle. Free birth and wild birth is...Read full review »

I love your podcast and have learned so much from it. But man… You guys could really use some coaching on how to host a podcast. Your interviews are so full of long, awkward silence pauses. The people you’re interviewing are not professional story tellers, you need to help them tell their story...Read full review »

This was the first home birth podcast I found/listened to, and it still is my favorite after over a year of listening!
Abcsefghij via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/22
I am so thankful for the Doing it at Home podcast! My husband and I planned for a home birth as soon as we found out we were pregnant. (Unfortunately baby had other ideas, and a hospital transfer was medically necessary, after over 24 hours of labor.) The variety of birth stories that are...Read full review »

Such a great resource if you are looking to learn more about home births. Not only is it beneficial for the woman giving birth but also the birthing partner. As the birthing partner for our home birth, I truly believe that the woman needs to have that support and this podcasts touches on ways the...Read full review »

This podcast creates a wonderful space for birthing people/partners to share their stories and share their experiences so that others can learn and benefit. Sarah and Matthew do an amazing job holding space for people to share. And the experts they interview provide such valuable insight as well....Read full review »
birthmamaGHJK via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/22
If there is one word to best describe this podcast it would be “empowering.” I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea to choose home birth but for those that do often find themselves judged, ridiculed or questioned by people that are simply not informed correctly. This was the first podcast I...Read full review »
Yeguauno via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/22
Sarah and Matthew have created such a beautiful space to learn about an area of birth that is often looked down on or questioned with concern.

I had a super negative birth experience in a hospital with my son. When we found out we were pregnant. I cried even thinking about going back to a hospital. After talking to my husband we settled on a birth centre. I take so much away from this podcast. I’m not doing it at home but this podcast...Read full review »

I found this podcast a couple years ago and there is truly nothing else out there quite like it. As a doula/birth junky/mama this get 5 stars across the board. I recommend it regularly to all my friends, family, and clients.

Loved hearing these stories preparing for my own home birth, and feeling the empowerment that is birth, but my love for listening to these stories and interviews have just continued to intensify!!

Honestly one of the best pregnancy podcasts out there! I love the honesty and realness of every episode. So inspiring, so empowering. it’s nice to get a man’s perspective on a topic that is very woman based as well. Also, I SO appreciate the touching on topics like sex postpartum. It’s real and...Read full review »

This podcast helped me prep for my home birth and it’s unexpected twists and turns! Thank you for not only normalizing and demystifying homebirth, but for also hosting intersectional birth conversations.

Where do I begin with praise for Doing it at Home??? Oh how I LOVE this podcast.

Not only are the guest inspirational and have vastly different stories to share but the the hosts are great! There banter back and forth and comments and questions for the guests really sets their podcast apart from others!

Sarah and Matthew have real, loving conservations about resources and options. There is no fear mongering, unlike a lot the birth world in today's society. If you are someone that is curious about an out of hospital birth, I'd definitely recommend listending to a few of their episodes....Read full review »

Both the female and male podcast hosts reply with “that’s powerful” to almost everything someone says. seems like they’re not even listening to the people being interviewed. They ask ZERO questions about the actual birth experience. They talk around it most of the time.
lulunickname via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/21
Sarah and Matthew are so amazing and fun to listen to, and have the best home birth/birthing content. Even if you aren’t planning a homebirth, I highly recommend this podcast. The stories, the guests, the content, and especially the hosts are TOP NOTCH! Love this podcast!
brimariiscott via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/21
I started listening to this podcast during my first pregnancy and even more after as I realized how inclusive it is for ALL births and promotes empowering women without subscribing to the “one best way or place to birth” like many other home birth podcast. They advocate for home birth and that...Read full review »

I listened to the first several episodes until it became clear that, unfortunately, we were not going to be able to have a home birth. Nevertheless, I really benefited from exploring the topic, and this podcast was a big part of my exploration. I also think that knowing our priorities helped us...Read full review »

I’m a 24 year old mom to two beautiful daughters ages 5 and 1.5. My first daughter was an “emergency” caesarean after an unnecessary induction. I wish I had had your podcast back then to listen to because I’m sure the outcome would have been much different if I had planned a homebirth. My second...Read full review »

I’ve discovered this podcast as I recently switched from hospital to home birth around 28 weeks with my second baby given all of the uncertainty with coronavirus.

I listen to a lot of birth related podcasts, a little more on the radical/free birth spectrum. I still enjoy listening to all point of views and experiences related to birth though and appreciate that you have a home birth / natural focus. I understand the reasoning and need to add sponsorship...Read full review »

Heidsms via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/19
For me, home birth is normal. But most people think that it's dangerous and scary. Most people also want to feel good about their birth experience. I wish for people to discover how safe, satisfying and healing birth can be when you are supported in the comfort of your home. Thank you for the...Read full review »

I’m new to this show and have one baby already who I have given birth at a hospital to.

And release control!!! Hi Sarah and Matthew! I am so in love with this most recent episode with Laura Jean. I got teary-eyed a couple of times.
