Listen "Melodie and Wes Return: A Second Home Birth with Hearth and Home"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, midwife Sarah McClure welcomes back Melodie and Wes to share the story of their second home birth with Hearth and Home Midwifery. Melodie describes a calm yet powerful pregnancy and an incredibly fast two-and-a-half-hour labor that culminated in the birth of their son. The couple contrasts the warmth, relationship-based care of their midwives with the impersonal nature of traditional medical systems. Despite a postpartum hemorrhage, Melodie and Wes reflect on the safety, intimacy, and trust that define their home birth experience. Their story offers a heartfelt testament to the confidence and community that come from midwifery care. If you like what you get here, you'll like our online childbirth education course even more.
