That first experience taught me that home was where I felt safest and most held. For this birth, I wanted to lean into that sense of trust and continuity — to birth in familiar light, to shower in my own space, to crawl into bed with fresh linen and my baby in my arms.

“I was almost into my third trimester when we decided to have a homebirth. Being our first baby and not knowing what to expect, this was a difficult decision for us, particularly with homebirths still feeling taboo in modern society. Once we made our decision, I was confident in it, and it felt right to follow my gut.”
