If you’ve never considered a birth at home, Casey’s story may just change your mind…

For her third baby, Casey was determined to have her dream birth - at home, by the fire, surrounded by her family. Hear Casey’s incredible, touching story of birthing Brodie.

Diary Of A Birth features mums telling their miraculous stories of bringing life into the world, and we have all medical questions and concerns cleared up by Australia’s favourite paediatrician, Dr Golly.

You can follow Casey’s rural life on her farm here.
You can learn more about home births here and here.

If you’d like to share your birth story, we’d love to hear from you at [email protected] or send us a voice note here.
