EP11 Unmedicated Home Birth- Everest's Birth Story


Listen Later

In this episode, Brie shares the full story of her all-natural home birth with baby Everest. From why she chose to birth at home with a midwife and doula, to the moment Everest was born, this is a real, honest look at what a home birth can look like—messy, powerful, and completely on her terms.

We talk about the common hospital “cascade of interventions” and why Brie wanted to avoid that route. She also shares what she did to prepare her body and mind for labour—from strength training to learning about the accuracy of ultrasounds and trying the Miles Circuit.

This episode walks through it all:

  • Why Brie chose a home birth with a midwife and doula
  • Understanding the cascade of interventions
  • Birth prep: workouts, Miles Circuit, mindset
  • Early labour: first contractions & water breaking
  • Active labour & transition: riding the waves
  • What helped the most—and what surprised her
  • If you’re curious about home birth, natural delivery, or just love a good birth story—this one’s for you. It’s not sugar-coated, but it’s real and it’s encouraging.
