My son, Gabriel, was born on April 7th 2014 at home, in water, with minimal assistance and no drugs.
I did not come from a family of home-birthers. The only births I’d seen were on television (and they are always so great, aren’t they!). But with my husband Rob, I worked hard to try to make Gabriel’s birth as natural as possible. It was a beautiful experience.
Patrons of my podcast can hear my co-host, Andrea, and I talk about our birth stories here, in an exclusive podcast episode. You can also hear a bit about the story of how I regained my fertility after 5 years without a cycle here.
The Mother magazine published Gabriel’s birth story. Here’s a link to download the article.
