Why choose home birth?

This is a question we almost always ask in our interviews. Everyone has their own unique story and reasoning. 

In our conversation with Abby Marks, she shares the journey of what felt like “giving power away” and not questioning any of the process in preparation for her first birth. Then changing plans and looking at things differently when it came to her second birth.

We also talk about how her work as a doula, childbirth educator and midwife assistant has influenced her own experiences. And she’s pregnant with her third baby at the time of this interview, planning for her upcoming birth!

Things we talk about in this episode: hospital birth, switching to home birth, when your husband was born at home and your mother-in-law is a midwife, fears around safety of home birth, education and building confidence for birth, the experience of pain in birth, the labor denial
