440: An Expat Planning a Home Birth in Ireland with Katie McCormick (DIAH Classic)

What is it like planning a home birth as an expat in a new country?

Well, Katie McCormick has some stories to share about that! 

Katie and her husband Ryan decided to leave their life in Portland, Oregon - quit their jobs and travel across Europe. They decided to settle in Ireland, eloped and got pregnant shortly after. 

Katie knew immediately that she wanted to have a home birth. But being an expat in a new country, she had no idea where to begin as far as planning and resources.

In this Classic Doing It At Home episode, we speak with Katie in the last few weeks of her pregnancy and get to hear how she’s feeling as the time in her pregnancy winds down and they prepare for baby’s arrival. She also shares the experience of what it's like to have all of their family back in the States as they plan for home birth in their new home and country.

Tune in and get ready for another inspiring pre-home birth story!
