Doing It At Home – The Home Birth Podcast
406: When Your Birth Doesn’t Go The Way You Planned with Brittni Mitchell
What happens when birth doesn’t turn out the way you planned?
Today’s story is an example of what it can look like to move through a hospital transfer situation, when it’s the last thing you desired or intended for.
Brittni Mitchell shares her birth story of her son Cole.
She and her husband Elliot planned for a home birth preconception. They utilized resources like DIAH podcast and “Business of Being Born” documentary to prepare. And guess what - they live close to us and even used the same midwife that we did!
Brittni talks about moving through the emotions that came with not getting the birth she originally wanted.
From Brittni:
“A big take away I had was that it’s ok to grieve the birth I wanted so bad but was impossible.”
