Description
How do you build trust for the birth experience?
This entire episode encapsulates and embodies this question. Heather and Chris join us to share their birth journey of their daughter Eliana.

Also how they assembled their team and how important it was for them to have a team they could trust and count on. Then the details of the birth itself, with an unexpected postpartum transfer that went much smoother than anticipated.

006: Sex While Pregnant: The Ins, The Outs, The Reach Arounds: Let’s talk about sex, BABY! Not just the kind that makes the babies, but the kind you continue doing while the bun is in the oven. There’s plenty of topics around pregnancy that receive just the surface level of attention paid to them in the blogs, books, and classes. Sex was the big thing for me that I experienced ambiguity around. So naturally, Matthew and I decided to sit down and talk about it. So not only do you get to hear about my perspective on our sexual relationship traveling through pregnancy, but you get the male’s point-of-view as well. by Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast
