In today’s episode we speak with Joy Kiesch, wife to Yamil and mama to Dakota. Our conversation flowed so organically, that we decided to make it a two-parter! More on that in a second. The way Joy describes the home birth of her son Dakota goes something like this, “born peacefully at home, surrounded by love.”  Joy considers herself a great candidate for home birth given her health and overall mindset. There were also other factors that influenced their decision - like for one, home birth is actually the more affordable option in many instances (not that we’re saying you should bargain hunt when it comes to your birth plan, however it is fascinating that this is an area where sometimes cheaper is better!). Joy also felt like a number when it came to the OBGYN offices. She was looking for more intimate connection, which she found in her midwife. She has family members who practice homepathy, and even her mom and aunt had home births of their own! Top it off with an incredibly supportive partner in Yamil, and we’re going home birth, folks! We really explore what it looks like to move through the discomforts that can arise in pregnancy and birth. And...how sometimes surrender isn’t enough. Maybe it requires a further step of embracing it all. Listen in to learn more, and be sure to check out part 2 where we talk about some of the postpartum challenges Joy experienced.
