EPISODE #20 SHOW NOTES
In today’s episode, I am giving you nine tips to help you achieve your dream home birth when you live rurally. Finding a home birth midwife may not be easy in some states and it’s possible you may feel anxious or uncertain about the birthing process when resources are limited. It’s essential to keep in mind that every location is different, and the availability of resources will vary from place to place.
It’s so important to do your research and find a midwife who is trustworthy, reliable, and supportive of the natural birthing process. Most midwives who support home births are committed to physiologic birth and have faith in the ebbs and flows of labor. They believe that a woman’s body knows how to give birth and that the birthing process should not be interfered with unless medically necessary.
There are so many different components that go into having a successful home birth and I’m so eager for you to hear these nine powerful tips. These tips are designed to help you lean into the trust of your body and the birthing process so you can create your unique birth story. By trusting your body and following these nine tips shared in today’s episode, you can have a successful, natural and empowering birth at home.
