Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast

297: HOME BIRTH STORY - Mama (and Papa!) Natural Shares an Unassisted Home Birth with Genevieve and Michael Howland


Listen Later

What’s the recipe for a magical birth experience?

It likely looks different for all of us. However, we might incorporate similar mindsets, approaches, preparation and resources.

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Genevieve and Michael Howland of Mama Natural, the #1 parenting brand online and a source of education and empowerment for natural pregnancy and birth.

Genevieve and Michael share the home birth story of their daughter Faith. After 2 birthing center births with their first two children, they explored whether or not they’d be good candidates for home birth. There were a few factors that went into this consideration: their second birth was very fast (they barely made it to the birthing center in time for baby’s arrival!), Genevieve was healthy and low-risk and would have likely had more intervention with a hospital route given that she was 42-years-old at the time, plus the convenience and sacred space of being at home.

We’ll save the rest of the birth details for you to listen to in the episode. And you can watch a video of the birth on the Mama Natural website (link is below!).
