We get more practical with today's episode featuring Lauren and Susanrachel, two midwives with different experiences with home births. Home births represent less than 2% of all births in the US, but the rate is rapidly increasing despite its low percentage. There are some basic criteria that would rule out some people for having a home birth, such as needing consistent running water, electricity, and being generally healthy - no person who is high-risk should plan on having a home birth. They share how to find the best midwives for people interested in home births to ensure quality care, as well as what to expect differently during a hospital birth experience.
