I'm back! I have quite a story to tell you all. My son who I learned of at Christmas in 2023, decided to enter our lives many weeks before we were expecting him. He came earth side in a very fast and beautiful home birth, with only my husband and I present. We were surprised that I was giving birth at 33 weeks given that I had no illness or history of pathology. I had zero indications that I may be going into labor early.

Little did I know then, he was not early, he came right on time. And his entry changed what I believe about birth.

Please enjoy my latest birth story of sweet Levi, coming in right on time, perfectly healthy at 33 weeks.

Excited for this to be one of many more podcasts to come!

Love, Sarah

Often we label a women's home birth going well as a lucky one when in fact it couldn't be more opposite. Tune in to hear about my thoughts on why physiologic birth is the norm and when it goes well it's because it was designed to, not because we get lucky. Thanks for listening!

Story of Rebecca's preterm birth with her 4th child Paeonia. This story is so moving as she describes how she advocated for her daughter while she was giving birth to her in the system that she wanted so much to avoid. This episode is a little longer than my usual, it's really beautiful and inspiring and I do hope you al give this one a listen. 

I share more details about my very fast and also very traumatic birth. I share details about how some of those who I shared my birth story with dismissed that it was traumatizing because it was so fast and undisturbed. Speaking of undisturbed, we have a little 6 year old visitor that I considered editing out but decided her sweetness added much to the recording. 

In this episode we talk with mama to be Nicole about her decision to birth at home on her own terms.
