Have you ever wondered if there are prerequisites to having a homebirth? Did you want to have a homebirth but you were a first-time mom and you didn’t think you were allowed to have one?.. Or maybe you thought your house was too small. Guess what friend… THERE ARE NO PREREQUISITES FOR A HOME BIRTH … now let me add this disclaimer – **as long as there are no medical complications present for pregnancy or birth that would cause you to “risk out” of a home birth and midwifery care…**

If this is you…or it was you…then I have a great story for you today. Heather is here to share about her homebirth as a first-time MAMA! WOOO! Love to hear it. I’m so excited to hear her story. So let’s get into it!
