3. Jemimah & Ben PART 2 Soulful Birth Stories
-
- Alternative Health
Ben describes the moments directly after their son Jacob was born at home, after their unplanned home VBAC (or vaginal birth after cesarean). This is part 2 of Jemimah and Ben’s story.
In this episode they finish the story of Jacob’s homebirth and share Livvy’s waterbirth story (baby number 3), and how they prepared their other two children for the homebirth.
For me, Jemimah and Ben were the perfect clients or ‘test case’ as a midwife, providing care for my first planned home VBAC. They were well educated and informed of the pros and cons, they’d already experienced two very unexpected births and were prepared (as best as one can) for the unexpected twists and turns that labour and birth may present. I also felt reassured that Jemimah had already had a vaginal birth and that this was to be her second one.
These stories are intimate, raw, inspiring - parents sharing their birth experiences - the highs, the challenges, the growth. How did they prepare, what was unexpected, what do they now know?
