Doing It At Home: Normalizing Home Birth | Sarah & Matthew Bivens

Today we talk to Sarah and Matthew Bivens, hosts of Doing it at Home, a home birth podcast sharing powerful stories and conversations to normalize home birth and support families in being as prepared and supported in their journeys. They realized the important of sharing and normalizing home birth stories after their own home birth experience, and they continue to work to make choosing home birth a normal and well understood option for any new parents who may be considering it.

We talk about Sarah and Matthew's decision to have their baby at home, and the process they went through in making that decision, as well as the opposition that they faced along the way. We talk about the discussions they had as a couple to be comfortable with the decision and the research they did to get there. We also talk about approaching conversations about birth decisions with doctors or relatives that have concerns.

We then talk about Sarah's labor and birth; what they were surprised by and what was expected. We talk about support for the birth partner and how Matthew was supported during the labor as well. We talk about how the home birth experience impacted their relationship and how making birth choices and honoring the experience together can strengthen a couple.

Finally we talk about the questions that new parents can ask if they are on the fence about having a home birth. We talk about the importance of birth stories and how they can help other parents know more about the sort of birth they would like to have.
