    My 6th Birth Story: Gilbert Ignatius (2022)

    My sixth baby was born when I was 42 years old, and for him we hired a midwife who'd been in practice since the year I was born. His pregnancy and birth stretched me and produced a lot of agitation, weirdly! You can read and see photos from his birth here. Preparing for home birth (with or without a midwife)?

    My 5th Home Birth: Agatha Wren Sue (2020)

    My fifth baby was a surprise, and her home birth during the pandemic lock-downs was a planned unassisted birth. This birth also includes a slow transition that required my support. It's a very tender, sacred one for me. You can read more and see photos here. SHOW NOTES: Preparing for home birth (with or without a midwife)?

    To Free Birth or NOT to Free Birth?

    Trying to decide whether or not to hire a midwife to attend your home birth? There are many considerations to take into account when deciding whether or not to have a free birth or an unassisted birth. In this episode we cover:- history of midwifery (very abbreviated)- reasons having a midwife can be great- influx of interest in unassisted birth due to desire to leave behind hospital/medical birth (including midwives who are becoming more medicalized!)- factors to consider when deciding whether or not to go unasssisted- how to seek direction from the Lord about it- my own process of coming to having a free birth with my 5th baby after 4 midwife-assisted home births.Get equipped with the most comprehensive, freebirth-friendly, faith-based pregnancy/birth/postpartum course library out there Embrace Birth Journey Or skip straight to the free birth prep with Free Birth With God (this course is also inside Embrace Birth Journey).
