Description

This is an incredible birth story that you won't want to miss. Katie shares her amazing journey from finding the online birth community in pre-conception to her long, tough back labor in the hospital, completely unmedicated. Katie's favorite part of her story, was reaching down to catch her own baby. She calls it the best gift she's ever received.

In this episode, Katie shares:

What she did to prepare for her natural hospital birth, and all the mindset work behind believe she could do it.
Why she chose to birth in the hospital, even though she wanted a home birth.
How preparing her husband with Unmedicated Academy helped him to trust birth too.
All 31 hours, starting a home with losing her mucous plug, to her doula walking in to help, to leaving for the hospital to use their birth tubs, to finally catching her baby.
The feeling of empowerment that came with her birth, and how she feels like she can do anything now.
