The home births of our children were amazing experiences. We would have never considered having our babies at home had it not been for the incredible honor of being invited to attend a friend’s home birth. It is my hope that this continues to be an option for all healthy expectant moms and that I can be helpful in providing resources and information to help others explore the possibility of birthing their babies at home.
