Would you consider having dual care providers for your prenatal and birth prep? In today’s episode we’re chatting with Ruby Pontbriand, who shares with us her birth history and decision to have dual care for her second pregnancy. She attended appointments with her OBGYN as well as visits with her midwife. All while planning to birth at home. This decision came after some trauma with her first birth in the hospital. This is a great episode for anyone who’s thinking about keeping a tie with an OBGYN and hospital, while planning a home birth. Ruby also shares the pressures and stressors of going past your “guess date,” and the main differences she experienced in home and hospital.  Plus how birth impacts your postpartum experience.
