Aligned Birth

May 24 2023 • 1 hr 2 mins

It’s Birth Story day on the podcast! Doula Rachael chats with a dear doula client, April West. April shares how she prepared for her home birth including: How she chose to have a home birth, how she chose her home birth midwife, how she prepared for giving birth prenatally, the tools she filled her tool bag with, her husband’s incredible support along the way.

April also shares about her home birth: how it started, how it progressed, and how she navigated a long pushing stage and how she overcame hard obstacles to avoid transferring to the hospital.

April is the co-host of the “Moms Off The Record” podcast. “Moms Off The Record” dares to discuss taboo and prevalent themes around pregnancy, birth, and postpartum life. If you prioritize nature over pharma, mom’s intuition over “expert” advice, and think critically with every decision you make, then this podcast is for you. Be sure to check it out!
