#12 | Beautiful One Midwifery Answers: What Makes Homebirth Safe? Apr 02, 2024

Show notes

In this episode…

Karen meets with licensed midwives Kelly and Tiffany of Beautiful One Midwifery to discuss all things homebirth and what midwifery care should truly look like.

As holistic health advocates and fierce lovers of the family and all things home, this passionate duo focuses their practice on alternative care that puts control back into the hands of the women they serve, providing integrative knowledge, natural resources, and sisterly inspiration for women to own their birth journeys. They love coming alongside busy moms who are looking for a more personalized approach to holistic pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

We dive into some FAQs we've been aching to answer for you, such as:

For whom is home birth actually safe?
What about insurance options? Isn't home birth expensive?
What conditions are preventable and what will risk me out of care?
What constitutes a “variation of normal” vs. a true complication or emergency?

…and LOTS more!

#11 | SURPRISE…2 Babies! Elizabeth’s Peaceful Breech Twin Home Birth Mar 26, 2024

Show notes

In this episode…

Hospital pediatric RN turned full-time homeschooling SAHM, Elizabeth Parsons, shares with Karen how she ended up giving birth to twins (both breech!) at home after having had 3 previous unmedicated hospital births.

She recalls how the Lord intervened throughout her pregnancy to keep the second baby “hidden” in order to protect her and her family from fear and worry (especially during the unprecedented times brought by the pandemic).

In turn, her birth experience was a true testimony marked by peace and the revelation that when left alone with our God-given intuition and miraculous intentional design, women are more than capable of not only unmedicated physiological singular birth but double breech twin birth!
