Peaceful, Positive Birth Story - Unassisted Homebirth - Self Managed Pregnancy

Hi, I'm Megan, a mum to 6 young children living on a small farm in NSW, Australia. Join me as I share daily living, scratch cooking, homemaking, homeschooling and homesteading tales.

Today I'm sharing my latest birth story with you. My baby is nearing 2, but the story is still fresh in my mind. Her birth was our second planned, unassisted homebirth (also called freebirth), after four previous midwife supported homebirths. I strongly believe that all women have the choice to birth wherever feels safest for them and their baby.

Here are some wonderful books that have helped to shape my pregnancy and birth journeys:

Heather Baker: Home Birth on Your Own Terms
Henci Goer: The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth
Ina May Gaskin: Spiritual Midwifery
Laura Kaplan Shanley: Unassisted Childbirth
Dr Sarah Buckley: Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering
