139: A Few Not-So-Typical Places Mamas Have Given Birth

In this episode we have another mom and dad conversation. Sean and Renee Kleve share the story of their pregnancy and birth of their first baby, their son Mason. Mason is just 4 weeks old at the time of this interview, so we are very grateful to both Sean and Renee for taking the time to hang out with us on the Doing It At Home podcast.

This episode is inspired by recent events in the online birth community. It’s pretty commonplace to have some of your images removed from Instagram if you are an account sharing images of birth. Due to things like “guidelines and regulations” as well as other users finding certain content offensive and then reporting it, we’ve seen a number of issues pop surrounding the censorship of motherhood since we ourselves started learning more about the community and being a part of the conversations.

In today’s episode we’re talking with Kathryn Orr, a certified birth doula, childbirth educator and more recently the outreach coordinator for the fantastic documentary “Why Not Home?” We’re familiar with “Why Not Home?” over here at Doing It At Home - because we had the pleasure of having Jessicca Moore, the creator of the film, on the podcast back in episode 82. So we’re very excited to have this mama of 2 share her birth stories with us and talk about her obsession with all things birth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode we share why we're thankful for our home birth. Might sound like a weird topic, but having experienced home birth ourselves and interviewed dozens and dozens of moms and families who have chosen it as well (some who've also had experiences giving birth in a hospital), it's easy to see why we wanted to talk about the elements of giving birth at home which we really appreciate. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Doing It At Home listeners, moms, non-moms, dads, partners and supporters! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode we’re having a bit of fun and taking a look at a few colorful birth scenes from movies and tv. This is a follow up to episode 97 where we talk about a home birth that was depicted in the hit tv show Jane The Virgin. That conversation inspired us to explore other depictions of birth….and the result is this silly episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
