And so it was really neat to kind of compare both births.

any i don't know if you were like very private about it but when you shared that you were having a home birth were people like judgmental of it because i've noticed that happening to some of my friends yes long story short and i think it came from a place of people genuinely caring but there was like a fear behind it of oh my gosh are you not scared like that's so scary i hope everything goes okay

You can't blame them because at the end of the day, I feel like it's getting better.

But for so long, it was demonized in a way or like looked at as a risky, careless way to have birth.

When in all reality, it's like that's how it started.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

Like we're designed to be able to give birth.

Obviously, there are certain situations that, you know.

are high risk and you got to listen to your body and do what's best for you and baby.

But at the end of the day, we're built to be able to do this.

Also at this time though, I didn't have a social media following.

So I didn't really have any kind of like backlash opportunity.

That would be interesting.

That would be interesting.

So this next go around, we'll see.

have you experienced like any backlash with like you sharing how you want your birth and delivery and everything to be?

And I'm sure there's other women that

similar to you, like prioritizing their health and fitness and still took that route.
