Paige’s Homebirth Stories

Episode 5 | Paige’s Home Birth StoriesThis week, we’re getting personal.Paige walks us through both of her home births—the decisions, the expectations, the hard parts, the moments that challenged her, and what those experiences ultimately taught her about birth.We talk about something that doesn’t always get said out loud: when choosing home birth can start to feel like you have something to prove. Is it ego? Is it confidence in your decision? Is it wanting to show the people who questioned you that birth really can look different? And where’s the line between trusting the process and holding too tightly to the outcome you envisioned?Then there’s the birth that included 5.5 hours of pushing—which opens up an entirely different conversation: Why are we in such a hurry to give birth? What happens when birth takes longer than expected? And how do we balance giving birth time with recognizing when intervention may actually be necessary?These aren’t perfect birth stories wrapped up with a bow. They’re Paige’s stories—and an opportunity to talk honestly about the physical, emotional, and mental realities of choosing home birth.Whether you’ve had a home birth, would never consider one, or are simply curious about what it can actually look like… come hear the whole story.Come find out. 🤍Disclaimer: This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and reflects our personal experiences and perspectives.
