The NICU Nurse who Home Birthed

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Casey|Casey is a mama of two from Illinois. As a NICU nurse she’d only ever been exposed to extremely medicalized birth and all of the worst case scenarios. And she was one of the worst sceptics to home birth in the earlier years of her career and was very vocal about it.She’d always assumed that whenever she had her first baby she would go to the hospital, get an epidural, and follow whatever the medical team recommended. However, learning about the cascade of interventions during her first pregnancy led her to choose an epidural free hospital birth for her first, and her continued journey of education, amongst it being this podcast, led her to choose a home birth for her second. The first time she listened to the natural birth podcast she didn’t listen to the full episode as she got so triggered… but the more she learned about natural birth she eventually returned and her love story with this podcast began.If you’re sitting on a natural and positive birth you’d like to share then pop on over to thenaturalbirthpodcast.com and apply to become a guest.I’d love to hear your story!If you’d like to come to one of my international retreats or are just curious about what’s brewing at the midwitch cottage check out the new website under construction at themidwitchcottage.com and sign up for my newsletter to get updates and special offers on upcoming retreats and events!Want to work with Anna or join The Sacred Birth Worker Mentorship?Find Anna’s Website, about her Mentorship & How to Work with Her, as well as all Links & Resources she mentions in the episode here:www.sacredbirthinternational.com/links-podcast
