16: Homebirths, Birth Pools, Private Midwives & Hospitals… We’ve Done Them All!

A Hot Minute With Us

Hotties, come for the ride of pregnancy and birth with us! Hannah and Rachael not only share Birkenstocks, clothes, food and some quirks, but we shared the same midwife and both had a homebirth!

Today we dive right into the journey we had in both of our pregnancies and the lessons we learnt from our first births in order to shape our second births. We went through Mamatoto Midwives and both shared Juliana as our private midwife (not at the same time!). Today we talk about what that journey is like; the decision to have either a hospital or homebirth, the continuity of care, the ongoing support both mentally and physically, the after care in our homes and the birthing debrief that was so needed. We rave about Mamatoto Midwives and their mother-like care in this special period of our lives.

One of us share how they birthed their child themselves at home and we both reflect openly about our first birth experiences becoming quite traumatic. We both made decisions moving forward to empower ourselves and not let that happen second time around.

It is a personal one, but we are confident you will enjoy the chat.

Please, if you haven't already, follow, rate and review. We are excited to get into more ears and hearts and this really helps.

Love Han & Rach x
