255: My Home Birth Expectations vs. Reality
It\u2019s easy for us to underestimate our own power.\xa0Giving birth is the single most powerful a woman can do. I chose to do it unmedicated.\xa0I don\u2019t think this is necessarily the best way, but it\u2019s the way I chose.\xa0And my low-risk pregnancy allowed me to do this at home.\xa0\nI learned through my home birth experience that I can do really hard things.\xa0That said, I would not opt for another unmedicated birth.\xa0It\u2019s interesting how experience can change our perspective, isn\u2019t it?\xa0\nThis is the story of Vinnie\u2019s birth and my maddening realization that sometimes the only way out is through.\nThank you to our sponsors:\n\nCare.com: Save 30% off your Care.com Premium Membership by going to Shameless Mom.\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
