On this episode, you’ll hear mom of 2, Shauna Parisi, share her wildly different birth experiences.

In this episode we talk about: changing providers late in pregnancy (twice!), precipitous labor, spirituality in birth, and so much more.

Plus, Megan answers a listener question about losing confidence in your ability to give birth at home late in pregnancy.

Going into her first birth, Shauna planned to give birth in the hospital and her birth plan included just one line: “Avoid a c-section.” Anything else was fair game. She wound up being induced and giving birth vaginally with an epidural.

As she entered into her second pregnancy, Shauna was fully prepared to give birth again in the hospital, and actually hoped she would be induced again so she could plan when her baby would be born.

However; in her third trimester, Shauna took a birth course and discovered that perhaps she didn’t want to be induced after all. And, in fact, wanted to pursue an unmedicated natural birth at home. A month before she was due, Shauna changed providers and started planning a home birth.

Tune in to hear her incredible story of a precipitous labor (only 2 hours long!) preceding her home birth.
