Planned homebirth turned positive non-emergency hospital transfer story || Emily's birth of Benson (Queensland)

Birthing at Home: A Podcast

Hello! I would love to hear what your fave part of the ep was. Send me a msg by clicking here :)

In episode 56, Emily, an emergency nurse who chose to homebirth with her first baby 'Benson' shares her unexpected, non-emergency transfer to hospital story.
Emily shares her pregnancy journey, her labour at home, and her decision to transfer into hospital, where she had a very positive experience in birthing Benson in an assisted vaginal birth, supported by her private midwife.
She also shares some insights into her experience post partum.
** Emily would like people to know that she realises she has used terminology such as "let me" but wants to clarify that everything she consented to was her choice <3
