My Birth Story with Helen and the birth of her second child.

In this episode, we continue our Birth Story series by sharing another powerful and personal story from our community. Many of us have a birth plan in mind, but the reality often doesn't align with what we envisioned. These stories are here to celebrate resilience, highlight the diverse experiences of motherhood, and provide support to those navigating similar paths. Today, we’re welcoming Helen, a mom of two from England, who shares her home birth experience with us.

Helen had the unique challenge of planning her second home birth while also preparing for the care of her first child during labor. She opens up about the emotional journey of being present for such a significant moment while balancing the needs of her growing family. If you’re pregnant with your second child or thinking about your own birth plans, Helen’s story will resonate deeply and may help ease your own journey.

If you’d like to share your own birth story, we’d love to hear from you! Drop us a message, and you could be featured in a future episode.
