Hiring a Midwife But Freebirthing Anyways | Natalie's Story

Natalie shares her personal experiences with pregnancy, birth, postpartum, bedsharing, and breastfeeding. Her first birth was a hospital induction that went miraculously well, but for her second birth she knew she wanted to homebirth, so she hired a midwife.... but freebirthed! She explains how bedsharing was an obvious choice after struggling with sleep with her first child, her struggles with mental health in postpartum, and the importance of women have *true* support to achieve their breastfeeding goals.
