S2 EP50: Carlie Ford - Unplanned Freebirth + Homebirth

Today’s episode features the inspiring journey of mum of two, Carlie. She had originally planned to birth in her local hospital but was encouraged by a midwife to access their homebirth program. A scan at 38 weeks revealed her baby was frank breech (bum down) meaning she wouldn’t be able to birth at home unless her baby turned. Fortunately, her waters broke shortly after and she went on to have a completely unplanned but incredibly beautiful freebirth at home. Her son was born posterior and frank breech. Her second birth was again through the hospitals homebirth program and although another beautiful water birth, this time with a full term, head down baby; she reflects on the contrast between her two experiences and what she learned.
