255: My Home Birth Expectations vs. Reality
from Shameless Leadership · host Sara Dean
It’s easy for us to underestimate our own power. Giving birth is the single most powerful a woman can do. I chose to do it unmedicated. I don’t think this is necessarily the best way, but it’s the way I chose. And my low-risk pregnancy allowed me to do this at home. I learned through my home birth experience that I can do really hard things. That said, I would not opt for another unmedicated birth. It’s interesting how experience can change our perspective, isn’t it? This is the story of Vinnie’s birth and my maddening realization that sometimes the only way out is through.
