36. Savannah's C-Section Leads Her to Homebirth!

Author: Cait Hayes December 17, 2020 Duration: 57:23

Hi guys!! 

It's DECEMBER! Like almost Christmas - how?! Anyway - wow. Hope you have everything in order for the holidays and are enjoying this cozy time with your fam! :)

Today we are chatting with Savannah, who after her first birth did NOT go to plan, went down the natural rabbit hole and wound up having a home birth, like sooo many we have heard from before! We just love when women realize they can change their destiny when it comes to their births, even if the first (or first few!) didn't go to plan! Follow Savannah on Instagram! She loves chatting birth!

Like we mentioned - we will be taking January off to refresh and regroup a bit. We still want to her your stories, though! Please fill out our form to let us know you're interested in sharing! What drives us is informing mamas like you that natural birth IS an option! Your stories are so powerful. Don't be shy - give us a shout and we will be happy to chat!

Hope you all have a lovely, merry Christmas.. we'll be back with one more episode before the New Year!

Until next time,

Kali + Cait


Cait Hayes hosts Birth Naturally, a space dedicated to honest conversations about the entire journey of bringing a child into the world without medical intervention. This podcast moves beyond simple birth stories to explore the physical, emotional, and practical realities of med-free birth and the life that follows. You'll hear from a variety of voices-people who are trying to conceive, those pregnant for the first time, and experienced parents-all sharing their unique perspectives and hard-won wisdom. The aim is to build a supportive community where information is exchanged freely, not to prescribe a single right way, but to illuminate the many paths available. Each episode delves into personal narratives and discussions meant to foster a sense of confidence and self-trust. Tuning in provides a sense of companionship, reminding you that you're not navigating these profound questions and experiences alone. For anyone curious about or committed to a natural birth process, this podcast serves as a valuable resource and a source of genuine empowerment, from pregnancy through the early years of parenting.
