Summary

Based on the questions I received on Instagram, you all are just as excited about this homebirth episode with Katelyn as I am! No matter where you are on the spectrum of homebirth—curious about it, preparing for your first or second homebirth, or a veteran homebirth mama—this episode addresses all of it.

We speak to the mom who is wondering if homebirth is possible for her, the mom preparing her body and mind for an upcoming birth, the mom trying to find the right care provider, the mom dealing with unsupportive family.

As a mother of seven, homebirth is near and dear to my heart, and Katelyn is a wealth of wisdom on this topic. Join us for this rich discussion!

In this episode, we cover:

Why having your first baby at home is especially beneficial
The important role your care provider plays in your birthing experience
How preparing for birth is so much more than planning for pain management
Do you need a large house to have a homebirth?
The importance of resting in early labor to avoid maternal exhaustion
Why focusing on your mindset is the most crucial preparation for birth
Finding the relaxation strategy that is right for you
Embracing the transformational process of birth
Recognizing your unique needs during birth and finding the right midwife for you
What questions should you ask when interviewing a midwife?
Responding to family and friends who don’t understand your birth decisions
The importance of doing your own research and making decisions that are right for your unique situation

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. I was going to say a few years ago or a few
0:05.8	months ago. I don't even know what it was. Sometime between a few months ago and a few years ago,
0:11.2	I had on Caitlin Fusco from the Happy Homebirth podcast. I was also on her podcast.
0:17.5	She obviously, based on the name, talks about Homebirth. On her podcast, she shares Homebirth
0:23.6	stories, which if you are pregnant and you are planning a natural birth, a home birth,
0:28.4	or you're just interested in birth, pregnant or not, she shares stories and they're all different.
0:34.1	And so you get the full realm of what birth can look like in all of its different forms.
0:40.2	And for me, it was a really good way to prepare for my home birth with my seventh child whenever
0:45.7	I found out about her podcast. So we're going to talk all things Homebirth. I put up a question
0:50.8	box over on Instagram and this is something we've been doing lately. So if you don't yet follow me,
0:55.3	I am Farmhouse on Boone on Instagram. I think a lot of people that listen to this podcast
1:01.5	probably know about the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast because of my brand Farmhouse on Boone
1:05.6	on Instagram on YouTube on my blog. But I sometimes forget that there are people who just find

1:18.0	find me anywhere by the name Simple Farmhouse Life. I go by Farmhouse on Boone. So if you don't know that
1:24.8	you can go follow me. There isn't a Simple Farmhouse Life Instagram. There is a Farmhouse on Boone
1:28.6	Instagram. That's where we post updates on the podcast. I post about my blog post and my recipes
1:33.6	or anything else going on with our family. So if you want to follow along, go there. But that's
1:37.1	where you can give your input for the podcast lately for every episode. Before we record the episode,
1:44.8	we will put up a question box and it'll say I'm going to be chatting with so and so about such
1:50.2	what questions do you have? And then that's where I come up with a lot of the outline for this.
1:55.6	So I can address what it is that people actually want to hear about. So if you were interested
