When Things Don’t Go As Planned: Leonie’s Honest Birth Story
Today’s episode was inspired by a listener email. Leonie, listening all the way in Australia, reached out to share her birth story. She had planned for a minimal intervention birth in a midwife led public hospital program (way to go Australis!) but things didn’t go exactly as anticipated. Her email was amazing - raw, honest and transparent - and at the end she had a few questions for me about home birth, my connection to Maya, and more.

Today’s episode was inspired by a listener email. Leonie, listening all the way in Australia, reached out to share her birth story.
She had planned for a minimal intervention birth in a midwife led public hospital program (way to go Australis!) but things didn’t go exactly as anticipated. Her email was amazing - raw, honest and transparent - and at the end she had a few questions for me about home birth, my connection to Maya, and more.
So when we received this email we knew we wanted to record an episode with our response.
- Here are the questions we cover in this episode:
- Sarah how did you feel after Maya was born?
- Did you feel an instant connection?
- Can you go into this time a bit for us?
- How do you feel now weeks down the track, looking back?
- Do you look back with any regrets, and trauma, and worries?
- How do you feel overall about the home birth concept, how did it fit into your dream/vision?
- Is there anything you would change?
- Is there anything your would recommend?
Leonie, and every mom and family out there with similar stories and questions, this one is for you!
