First Time Birth Stories: First Pregnancy, Planning a Home Birth and an Active Duty Daddy with Christie Andersen (Part 2)
We’re back with another special series, diving into one powerful theme at the heart of home birth journeys. This time: First Time Birth Stories.
This episode is part two of our conversation with Christie Andersen, our first-time mom planning her home birth while her husband Ryan had been stationed in Korea throughout the whole pregnancy. And a lot has changed since our last conversation!
For one, we had a baby! Little Charlotte has since stepped on the scene, and we get to hear all about her grand entrance.
Christie shares Ryan’s homecoming, anxiety around whether or not she’d actually go into labor while he was home, and how she dealt with the pressure of all the calls and texts inquiring as to baby’s arrival.
We get to hear the whole process, as it’s still fresh in her mind (Charlotte is just 2 weeks old now! They welcomed their baby girl into the world from the comfort of their home along with Christie’s mother, a close friend, a midwife, a doula and 2 midwife assistants (quite the full house, which we can relate to!).
One of my favorite takeaways from Christie’s story is “be open, go with the flow.” It sounds simple, but it’s incredibly profound and relevant when it comes to birthing babies.
