Pain Free Birth

#69 | Birth in War Zones and Triplet Home Birth with Kristine Lauria


Listen Later

What if the “impossible” was actually possible?

In this jaw-dropping episode, Karen sits down with midwife Kristine Lauria, a global midwifery director with more than 30 years of experience, to unpack the viral story of a home birth triplet delivery.

Kristine has attended over 5,000 births worldwide — from refugee camps in South Sudan with Doctors Without Borders to high-risk deliveries in the U.S. — and she brings an unmatched perspective on what physiological birth can truly look like.

Tune in to hear:

  • The incredible story of Amber’s viral home birth with triplets
  • What actually happens in a breech extraction (and why it was needed in this case)
  • How Kristine stayed calm in an emergency and why that saved a life
  • Why the role of a good midwife often means having the skill to do nothing
  • The difference between scary and traumatic births — and how a mother’s experience matters just as much as the outcome
  • What Kristine has learned from thousands of births in hospitals, homes, and disaster zones around the world
  • Why hospital cesarean rates don’t compare to what’s possible when birth is left undisturbed
  • The spiritual and emotional side of birth that modern maternity care often overlooks
