395: When You Secretly Want an Unassisted Birth (Freebirth) with Lindsay Robinson

What this episode covers

What does it look like to follow your instinct when it comes to birth? Today we’re chatting with Lindsay Robinson about the details of her second and third home births. Lindsay joined us back in 2018 to share her first home birth story. Now we’re talking about her desire to have a freebirth for her second, but she really loved her midwives and was still open to having them there for the birth. Spoiler alert: the midwife arrived after the birth! And then details from her third birth, where her midwife was present.  There are a lot of great details and themes throughout this conversation. To name just a few: Insomnia and depression during pregnancy Birth pool setup (aka shenanigans) Fetal ejection reflex Postpartum bleeding Ultrasound visits Prodromal labor Laboring on the toilet Meconium in waters when they break Nuchal cord Links: Episode 162 with Lindsay: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doing-it-at-home/id1153134918?i=1000416056522 Lindsay’s Facebook: www.facebook.com/willowwilderphotography Lindsay’s Instagram: www.instagram.com/willow.wilder.photography Offers From Our Awesome Partners: Needed: https://bit.ly/2DuMBxP - use code DIAH to get 20% off your order C & The Moon Malibu Made Glow Oil with code DIAH15 for 15% off your order: https://bit.ly/3KWeGL1 Expectful - use the code DIAH25OFF for 25% off an annual membership: https://expectful.com/   More From Doing It At Home: The Home Birth Hub: www.diahpodcast.com/hub Doing It At Home book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3vJcPmU DIAH Website: https://www.diahpodcast.com/ DIAH Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doingitathome/ DIAH YouTube: https://bit.ly/3pzuzQC DIAH Merch: https://bit.ly/3qhwgAe  Give Back to DIAH: https://bit.ly/3qgm4r9 Learn more about your ad choices.
