  • Summary

  • Amber Wilson joins us to share her accidentally on purpose home birth story.


    In this episode we talk about: natural solutions, home birth in an apartment, gestational hypertension (high blood pressure during pregnancy) and so much more.


    Plus, Megan answers a listener question about fear of needing to transfer during labor and tips to avoid it.


    Amber describes her first birth as “OKAY.” It wasn’t traumatic, but it also wasn’t spectacular. It wasn’t as special as she knew birth could be.


    After being introduced to essential oils at 7 months postpartum, and learning about natural healthcare solutions, she began asking herself a pivotal question: “What are the other options?”


    When she fell pregnant with her second daughter, she decided on a birth center birth, but quickly realized that her experience during her prenatal appointments felt very similar to those she had with her OBGYN during her first pregnancy.


    A doula friend recommended that Amber meet with a different birth center midwife. Amber fell in love with the midwife instantly and after her appointment Amber recalls “Honestly, it was a full body yes. It was something that I knew was going to go well from the moment I had my first appointment with my provider. The way she described the physiology of a woman birthing… I loved it so much that I just knew this is where I was supposed to be.”


    As it turned out, the midwife no longer practiced in a birth center setting. Amber would have to pursue a home birth if she wanted to work with this midwife.

    Amber went on to receive the exceptional, individualized, beautiful, prenatal care she deserved, and experienced one of the most impactful moments of her life: giving birth at home in her 400 sq ft apartment.
