22: Homebirth Turned C-section Without Regret with Raechal Martin

In this episode of the Birth Uprising Podcast, Emily & I talk with her doula client Raechal, a first-time mom who had planned a homebirth, but ended up with a c-section. Raechal is a single mother and entrepreneur who lost her partner at the very beginning of her pregnancy. She made sure to educate herself in ALL of her options for birth, and so when her midwife suggested moving to the hospital, and then a c-section was suggested, she knew it was the right thing for her at that time.

In this episode we discuss:

• how being informed helps you maintain autonomy during a transfer
• how knowing your options can leave you without regret after a birth that didn't go how you had planned
• the challenges of navigating pregnancy, birth & postpartum without a partner

and so much more
