What happens when you retell your birth story nine years later, with no notes and no prep?
In this episode, we revisit Maya’s home birth story, which took place the same week that we launched the Doing It At Home podcast. We sit down to share the story again, nine years later, straight from memory. Then, we compare this new retelling to our original 2016 recording, just one week postpartum.
Here's what you'll hear in this episode:
The core details we remembered clearly vs. the ones that faded.
Surprising differences between then and now.
Perspective shifts after nearly a decade of parenting and another home birth.
What this experiment shows about how birth stories evolve with time.
How would your birth story sound if you retold it today?
