All three of my kids were born at home. I share what I learned from my wife’s home births, how to prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally, and why so much of the fear around home birth is based on misinformation. I explore the “cascade of interventions” in modern hospitals, the health benefits of natural birth, and the misaligned incentives that shape modern maternity care.
