In today's episode we talk about 6 comments and questions that you absolutely don't want to say to a homebirth mom or family! We heard these things as we prepared for our home birth and can say from experience that they are not helpful at all.
Some things are better left unsaid, and that applies to commentary on someone’s decision to have a home birth.
In this episode we share 6 big statement/topics to avoid when you’re talking to a mom who’s planning a home birth. While they may be well-intentioned, these are the things that don’t help the process.
And if you are a home birth mom, we talk about ways to address these comments and how you can deflect them like Neo with those slow motion bullets in the Matrix.
Let’s leave the fear and judgement out of it. Because we all know birth could use less of that.
So steer away from these 6 things, please. And if you must comment then simply tell the mom how much of a badass she is! (that'll win you some brownie points)
