Description
How does it feel to go from a marathon of a birth for your first, to a sprint race for your second?!
In today’s home birth story, Nicole shares about why she switched to a home birth plan for her second birth, after having a hospital birth for her first.
We also talk about choosing a midwife that works best for you, even if that means driving 1 hour to see them!
Plus - castor oil. It comes up often in conversations around birth and moving labor along. Nicole shares her experience with it, plus how her birth changed her as a person.
From Nicole:
“I did everything and I mean everything I could to ensure a homebirth. But when labor stalled in the 20th hour I considered all my options and that included a castor oil induction. I’d love to share my experience and the good, bad and ugly (also hilarious) side effects. I’d also love to talk about my first birth comparisons and the differences I’ve found with a long slow birth vs the fast birth!”
