When you are choosing birth that’s outside of the mainstream, it’s common to wonder to yourself, “Can I really have a smooth home birth for my first baby?”Yes! “Surely, not two in a row?” Yes! “For my third, it must be my time for that metaphorical shoe to drop?” Then what if it's so far from being a "textbook" labor that you're pretty thrown off and have to mentally re-adjust over and over? Such was Sharon's experience. She had Lauren in her corner and more importantly God guiding her to release her fears and trust and in the end, was able to surrender to her "a-typical" labor progression. You'll love the twists and turns and happy ending of this birth story.
In our next episode, you'll hear the midwife's (Lauren's) perspective on this story, too, so stay tuned for that.
