Healing at Home: Part Two of Kristin's Story

This is part two of Kristin's story. I highly recommend listening to part one first if you haven't already!

After a long and difficult preconception journey with her first child, Kristin was elated when she conceived her second with ease. This time she hired a midwife and planned the home birth she had always wanted while also receiving co-care from her medical doctor.

Her doctor did not approve of home birth and often spoke to her from a place of fear, yet Kristin stayed committed to her plan. Eventually, she chose to stop seeing the doctor altogether.

With the support of her husband and doula, Kristin welcomed her daughter into her arms after a labor so fast that the midwife did not arrive in time. She describes her home birth as exactly what she needed to heal the trauma of her previous experience.

If you love the show, I would greatly appreciate a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!
