What happens when a listener's life is changed by the podcast she binged? Lexi found Doing It at Home while researching her options years before she became pregnant, listened to every episode from the very beginning, and was inspired to become a doula and plan the home birth she'd wanted since she was 18.
In this episode, Lexi shares her story of preparing early and intentionally, a long, slow labor with a good dose of labor denial, the hypnobabies tracks that carried her, the bathtub that changed everything, and being surrounded by her husband, her mom, and her birth team. She also shares two sweet details she added after our conversation: her midwife discovered her placenta was perfectly heart-shaped, and her grandma stayed up through the night making her favorite first postpartum meal.
In Lexi's words: "Give yourself time to listen to 400 podcasts of birth stories, if that's your jam, or to read a couple dozen books on the topic. Your future self and baby will thank you."
