Doing It At Home – The Home Birth Podcast
345: HOME BIRTH STORY - 36-Hour Thanksgiving Baby and the Importance of Trusting Your Birth Team with Heather Davis and Chris Rusinko
How do you build trust for the birth experience?
This entire episode encapsulates and embodies this question. Heather and Chris join us to share their birth journey of their daughter Eliana.
Heather was born at home, so having a home birth herself was something she always wanted. We walk through the process of Chris preparing and supporting the experience. Also how they assembled their team and how important it was for them to have a team they could trust and count on. Then the details of the birth itself, with an unexpected postpartum transfer that went much smoother than anticipated.
Things we talk about in this episode: Business of Being Born, birth plan, birth team pain management or comfort measures, intimacy in labor and birth, Spinning Babies, meconium in waters, postpartum transfer
