Description
What’s one of the biggest challenges of choosing a home birth?
A common response to this is feeling like you have to explain and justify your choice to others, whether that be friends, family, loved ones or total strangers.
This pops up in our interview with Sera Billings, mama to Addy. For Sera, home birth was always a completely normal thing. She herself was born at home. Her mother, in fact, had 6 home births. So home birth was an obvious choice for her when she became pregnant. And her husband Kade was on board and ready, because they had many conversations around birth before even becoming pregnant (we are big fans of this!).
And get this - the same midwife who attended Sera’s mother’s birth was there to attend her birth and help bring baby Addy earthside!
Another great element of this conversation is the reminder to release expectations based on others’ experiences. This is your unique process - embrace it!

013: When Things Don’t Go As Planned: Leonie’s Honest Birth Story: Today’s episode was inspired by a listener email. Leonie, listening all the way in Australia, reached out to share her birth story. She had planned for a minimal intervention birth in a midwife led public hospital program (way to go Australis!) but things didn’t go exactly as anticipated. Her email was amazing - raw, honest and transparent - and at the end she had a few questions for me about home birth, my connection to Maya, and more. So when we received this email we knew we wanted to record an episode with our response. by Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast
