Show Notes:

-Developed fear of birth while working as a labor and delivery nurse

-Birth was treated as a potential lawsuit- she witnessed many cesarean births

-Had a traumatic birth of her own

-Later learned about midwifery, and began schooling to become a midwife.

-Had another baby at home, which was incredibly healing

-In midwifery, relationships are built with the mother throughout the prenatal care, with longer appointments to gain trust and understanding

-Many times when a partner is uncomfortable with homebirth or midwifery, it is often because of misconceptions.  Midwives are trained medical professionals who can administer life-saving drugs, and know life saving techniques like neonatal resuscitation and CPR.

-The postpartum period is incredibly important, and Anne explains her recommendations for creating a community of help and support during pregnancy.
