  • Binging the episodes

    I am having a water birth in a birthing center in Mexico, which is wayyyy different than where I had originally thought I would deliver my first baby. But the more I educate myself on home births/birth centers the more I know this is the way for me. I’m so happy to have found your podcast, and am feeling increasingly informed and empowered to delivery my baby boy in Feb 2024! Thank you 1000x over for giving me my nightly source of binge-worthy content 🙏🏼💙

  • Love this podcast

    Love this podcast I look forward to listening a new episode every week. Sarah and Matthew are a breath of fresh air. I have not had a home birth but I have had 4 natural births in 3 different countries Canada, U.S.A and Germany. Germany was by far the best experience I delivered at the most famous birth clinic in the country and I was fully supported in a beautiful physiological water birth by the most amazing midwife….
