I think most of us think that if we plan for a homebirth we are free from experiencing coercion, free from feeling unheard, free from experiencing medical rape... It can absolutely be without all of these happening BUT making sure that you have hard conversations with your birth team and your partner about how exactly you want to be supported, what everyone's role is, and what is and isn't acceptable throughout your labor, birth, and postpartum experience can literally change the outcome of your birth experience. We also chatted about how childhood traumas can affect our pregnancy and birth choices. Maria also shares her top tips for planning a homebirth after cesarean (HBAC) and what she's doing differently for her next HBAC.

I think most of us waltz into postpartum without planning how we'll manage our emotions, how we'll stay connected to our partner, or building any type of consistent village to help us. I get it, it's hard to ask for help and also you're so busy planning for your birth experience but dare I say it's more important to plan for your postpartum season even more so than the birth... Have you thought about how you'll prepare your partner or anyone else who'll be helping you on what signs to look for when it comes to recognizing postpartum rage or depression? In this episode, I chatted with Dr. Toya who is a seasoned OBGYN and mother of two who did not expect her postpartum to unfold the way that it did, how she remedied it, and how she helps moms like you prepare for their postpartum journey.
