“All About Home Birth, Part 2” - with Midwives Lauren Abrams and Susanrachel Condon

We get more practical with today's episode featuring Lauren and Susanrachel, two midwives with different experiences with home births. Home births represent less than 2% of all births in the US, but the rate is rapidly increasing despite its low percentage. There are some basic criteria that would rule out some people for having a home birth, such as needing consistent running water, electricity, and being generally healthy - no person who is high-risk should plan on having a home birth. They share how to find the best midwives for people interested in home births to ensure quality care, as well as what to expect differently during a hospital birth experience.
