Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Jolien.

Jolien is a mama of two from the Netherlands. 

Today she shares her two birth stories, her first that was an intended home birth but became a transfer after 4 days of prodromal labour with everything happening that she did not want.

If you do not wish to hear this first story then fast forward to her second redemptive home birth at around 30min into the episode. 

When becoming pregnant again Jolien and her husband decided that with their second pregnancy the only thing they could change to hopefully have a better birth outcome was to employ a doula. 

Because of her they ended up with an independent caseload midwife this time at 30 weeks pregnant. And she gave Jolien all the information and positive energy that she needed. 

This time Jolien ended up having a 2.5 hour birth at home in her bath without any intervention. The midwife only walked in as the head of Jolien's baby was born. 

Jolien’s story really shows the importance of choosing your birth support wisely and that employing your own can make a world of difference.
