From A Home Birth In The Bronx To A Free Birth In Texas

Today on the show we have the wise and wonderful Dominque. She chose a home birth with a midwife and doula for her first birth in the Bronx but upon reflection after the birth she realized she would have preferred to have just been alone with her husband. So when she became pregnant with her second son and moved to Texas, it was an easy and intuitive decision for her to have a mostly unassisted pregnancy and to free birth. We talk about breastfeeding while in labor and what it was like for Dominque to tandem nurse her children for two years.
