  • Ep 106 \ Changing Plans Late in Pregnancy: How & Why One Mom Switched to a Home Birth Midwife After 20 Weeks
    Aug 27 2024

    Today's episode is an interview with a mom & listener named Lauren who tells us about her decision to switch from an OB and conventional pregnancy care to a home birth midwife past 20 weeks gestation. She shares with us the events that led up to this big decision, obstacles she faced while making the switch, and the beautiful birth that followed. I often tell you that it's never too late to fire your provider if you see red flags, but this is a real-life story showing you that it can be done even if it's hard.

    If you would like to follow Lauren on Instagram you can find her at https://www.instagram.com/naturaljungleliving
