The Nurse Anesthetist who choose Home Birth

The Nurse Anesthetist who choose Home Birth

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Melanie.

Melanie is a mama of 3 from Idaho.


She is a nurse anesthetist and as such she was working on the front lines through Covid as well as providing anesthesia to laboring women and often seeing the worst of the worst.


She was also told as a 20 year old by her OBGYN that her hips were to small and that she’d need a C/S. Total un evidence based, unsolicited advice to a woman not even trying to get pregnant.


You’d think all of this would have geared her towards an elective caesarian right? But no!


When she did become pregnant she was living in New Mexico where the attitude around home birth in her work place was positive. And she ended up finding a home birth midwife she resonated with and that the hospital even praised.


And she then went on having her two first babies at home. Both fast and furious as well as posterior.


She then had a gap as she had some pregnancy losses and her family also moved to Idaho.


When she finally did become pregnant with her third live baby she had to dig deeper than ever to ‘defend’ what she knew was best for her and her baby in the face of a lot of negativity and straight up stupid comments from the medical professionals around her.


She ended up having the transformative experience she always dreamed of and which she says was all about faith & absolute surrender.
