Homebirth after birth centre birth and episiotomy || Courtney's birth of Pacey at home (New South Wales)

Hello! I would love to hear what your fave part of the ep was. Send me a msg by clicking here :)

Episode 35 is shared by Courtney, a doula and personal trainer, in NSW. After never really thinking of having children, Courtney ended up in a birth rabbit hole which led her to choosing a birth centre birth for her first baby, and then in an effort to reduce the risk of more interventions, she chose homebirth with her second baby. We chat about birth, pregnancy, post partum & all the varying experiences. A beautiful feel good episode ✨
