How do you set yourself up for success when it comes to your birth?

For one thing, that requires looking at what you want to create and experience.

In today’s episode we get to hear Lauren Thomas’s journey to home birth and the research, education and preparation that brought her there.

After a birthing center to hospital transfer with her first son Finn, Lauren had to take time to come to terms with some of the trauma around it.

We talk about her special connection with her midwife and the gut decisions she trusted throughout her process. Also the risk of placenta previa and how she doula-ed herself during her labor of her son Rory in the middle of a snowstorm!
