3 | Erin's homebirth after two emergency caesareans; posterior babies, meconium in waters, Private Midwife, Doula, Public Hospital - VBAC Birth Stories

Om avsnittet

In this episode we meet Erin, whose fifth pregnancy was a triumphant homebirth following two caesareans and two previous losses, one of these a stillbirth at 20 weeks. Erin's birth with her eldest daughter was a planned public hospital birth, which ended in a traumatic emergency caesarean. For her following pregnancy she hired a private midwife intent on having a homebirth but was transferred to hospital after meconium was found in her waters. Immediately after experiencing her second caesarean she thought she would elect to have a third if she were to have another baby, however, by the time she fell pregnant with her youngest child, she had a change of heart.

Listen to how Erin's story unfolds as she finally experiences the physiological birth at home she longed for and how her own VBAC journey inspired her career as an accomplished doula and student midwife. She has a wealth of knowledge in the birth space which she so generously shares with us in her interview.
