In this episode we share the birth story of our third baby. This is the final episode in our 3-part Journey to Luna-Rose series, where we talk about our experience preparing for and having a positive home birth. This pregnancy and birth were deeply intentional for our family.

We recap our previous births, talk about our beliefs around physiological birth, and share why we chose an unassisted home birth for baby #3. Then we walk you through the full story of Luna-Rose’s arrival — including labor, our water birth, pushing, and the first moments after she was born.This was a powerful unmedicated birth story and a reminder of how incredible the birthing body can be when given space, trust, and support. If you’re interested in natural birth, homebirth, freebirth, or unmedicated birth stories, we hope this story encourages you and gives you a glimpse into what birth can look like outside the hospital setting.

✨ Welcome to the world Luna-Rose.

Hi! I'm Hannah-Rose, mother, doula, child birth educator. Birth shouldn’t feel like a mystery. I wish I had more guidance when I was a first time mom! That’s why I love working with moms like you, get the powerful, beautiful birth that you will love to look back on…Getting educated, getting your mind body and spirit DOES make a difference! Your birth is NOT just another day at the office like it is for providers… its one of the most important days of your life and you CAN feel confident, especially if you want a natural birth! Even if you want an epidural- learning about options and interventions puts you in the drivers seat
