#112 - Part I - Ariel and Nitin's preparation for a Home Birth

I received an email from Ariel sharing how listening to this podcast was a part of her preparation for a home birth and she wanted to payback by contributing her story to the podcast. We are excited to have this homebirthing duo in a three Part series through their journey of Preparation, experience of Birth and Postpartum on the podcast.Ariel and Nitin are an Indian couple living in the US who were expecting their first as a 35+ yr old couple. Fortunately, they had already come across Water birthing - a gentler approach of birthing at home in the comfort of their homes. So, the idea although unexplored was still in their heads when they became pregnant.The first part of the conversation begins with Nitin's journey of arriving at the decision of home birth following by Ariel's story.We discuss:Navigating questions around safety of Homebirth as the husbandResearch and therapy work involved in preparation for birthNesting urge for the fathersZeroing in on a Midwife and building a teamWhat having a midwife as against the mainstream hospital care can look likeInternal exploration and working on fears in preparation for birthSignificance of Childbirth classes in Preparing for Birth. Tune in to hear how Ariel and Nitin’s journey was shaped by intention, knowledge, and the profound joy of welcoming baby Ira into their world.Support the showSign up for Childbirth Preparation Programs! visit https://birthagni.com/services#childbirth-preparation-programshttps://birthagni.com/copy-of-services#breastfeeding-preparation-programThis episode is supported and made possible by podcast recording and hosting tool Zencastr, it is impeccably made! Use my link : https://zen.ai/vxmuJUgYKKGTF3JuTuFQ0g to sign up and record flawless remote podcast , USE my code : BIRTHAGNISupport the show:https://birthagni.com/birthagnipodcast#donateIf you like what you hear, leave us a rating on Spotify app and answer the question at each episode!a review on Apple podcasts. Share on Whatsapp/Insta/FBShare on Instagram and tag us @divyakapoorvoxSupport the pro...
