Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast

415: Home Birth After TTC Struggles and Preterm Labor with Sophia Pavia


Listen Later

How do you feel in a hospital environment?

Many choose home birth because of a bad experience (whether birth-related or not) or general dislike with the hospital.

In today’s story with Sophia Pavia, an unpleasant experience in the hospital during her first pregnancy added to her reasoning for having a home birth. But that wasn’t the only reason. She herself was born at home and her sister had home births before Sophia started having children. For her, it was the best choice. 

Sophia is a fertility dietitian and at the time of this recording she is pregnant with her second, just weeks away from birth!

We talk about details from her first birth along with intentions and plans for her upcoming home birth. 

Things we talk about in this episode:

  • TTC journey
  • Spinning Babies
  • Using the birth tub
  • Placenta delivery
  • Postpartum insomnia and anxiety
  • Affirmations and intentions for birth
