This is Monica Perez here with our returning guest and personal friend and friend of the show

Lanny from Greener Postures to talk about something that is squarely in her wheelhouse, her knowledge face, and her own personal

experience. Home births. Hello, Lanny, how are you?

Hey, I'm doing good.

Thanks for having me again.

I think this is like my fifth time.

Yes, I was thinking.

On your shows. Yeah.

If you ever have a topic that you know about,

you have an absolute open invitation and in this

case what prompted this is I do a news reel on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I just

pick stories I find interesting and one of them was about how epidural supposedly,

but they give a mother to numb in her lower back so that she can't feel childbirth saves lives.

And although it didn't say it looked in the article like they

were just trying to promote it in the UK because they want to sell epidurals but I

thought well I mean that's just one thing that might weigh in someone's decision not to have a

home birth because that's definitely not something you do in a home birth.

Well you showed up you know all about it you've had a home birth and I just you know I have my own birth and I just you know I have my own concerns I've had my own experiences and

I mean I don't know if they would have been better or worse with a home birth.

I just I want to tell you about it and see what you think, but let's start with just, you know,

you're interested in the topic.

Why did, why did you use, so you've had two sons.
