We’re back with another special series, diving into one powerful theme at the heart of home birth journeys. This time: First Time Birth Stories.
What if your path to a first-time home birth started with loss, moved through doubt, and ended in triumph?
In this moving birth story, we talk with Caryn Ragin — military wife, new mama, and fierce advocate for her body and her baby. After experiencing a miscarriage overseas and feeling unseen and dismissed by the medical system, Caryn knew she wanted something different when she became pregnant again. Her journey led her to a midwife who believed in her, and to a birth experience grounded in faith, power, and trust.
From navigating pregnancy after loss and overcoming cholestasis to laboring in a birth pool surrounded by her husband's photography and custom affirmations, Caryn shares how she reclaimed her birth on her own terms — and welcomed her baby girl into the world with strength and grace.
