Welcome to the Happy Home Birth Podcast, your source for positive natural childbirth stories

and your community of support, education, and encouragement in all things homebirth and motherhood.

Homebirth podcast. I'm your host, Caitlin Fusco, and today we're speaking with Sarah, mother to two

babies, Timothy and Lydia. We will hear Sarah's extremely difficult experience during her most
