Exactly what I needed
I am fairly new to the show and have gone WAYYYYY back to the beginning to start. I'm finding the episodes SO relevant and helpful! It's funny because earlier this week I posted in an online mommy group that we were planning our home birth for our 4th baby. I've had one "give me all the drugs" birth, two natural hospital births, and if/when we are blessed to get pregnant again are DIAH. Some specific points So after posting in the mommy group it actually spiraled into a secondary thread with hundreds of comments people calling me "selfish, negligent, stupid, etc". I was listening to your post about what NOT to say to a home birth mom and omg...it was like you read the thread 😂 I also listened to the interview with your midwife and wow, so relatable. My first natural hospital birth was fabulous. It really was as close to a home birth as I feel like you can get. My most recent son though was fast and furious. I actually delivered him in triage but it was a mess. They were so adamant on monitors, and keeping me on the bed, etc. They even questioned if I was actually in labor (my water already broke), and when I went from 7-10 in two contractions they tried to convince me that he wasn't there even though I was feeling the pressure of my body pushing him out... They gave me the most uncomfortable check of my life! Word for word how your midwife spoke on hospital births. Especially after having my wonderful experience i was like wow, I want THAT birth back! So we decided home is the way to go. Anyways I had to share since those episodes REALLY spoke to me. I can't wait to catch up with you guys and hear about it all :)Read full review »
