#28 Birthing Through Unexpected Challenges: Naomi's Story of Navigating NICU Mom Life as a Holistic Mama

In today's episode, we're honoured to have Naomi, a doula and birth keeper, share her powerful and emotional birth story with us. As someone who struggled with fertility and suffered an early loss, Naomi finally became pregnant with a healthy baby and planned for a natural and unassisted home birth. However, at just 29+2 weeks, she unexpectedly went into labour and was rushed to the hospital where she gave birth via emergency c-section. Naomi shares the challenges and emotions she experienced navigating through NICU mom life while maintaining her vision of a holistic approach to motherhood. From coping with the unexpected loss of the birth experience she had hoped for to balancing the traditional medical approach with her personal values, Naomi takes us on her journey and the lessons she's learned along the way. Join us for this heartfelt and inspiring conversation as Naomi shares her story of resilience, strength, and the power of motherly love.
