And I remember I told my husband at the time, like, hey, this is what I'm leaning towards.

And he was like,

Absolutely not.

Like what?

Home birth?

Like are you crazy?

And I gave him the literature, the facts, the info, had him meet with her, and he eventually was on board too, which was great.

So throughout the rest of that second – half that pregnancy, I started doing breath work every day, meditation.

I took a couple courses.

One of them was called Happy Home Birth, and then another one was called Pain-Free Breathing.

birth so they're both big accounts on instagram but they basically give you the tools and guidance on how to like breathe and like get to a meditative spot and state in your body to where you disassociate from the pain in a sense and view it as pressure instead which i can say now having gone through that whole home birth i never experienced pain it was just pressure if anything so i

I would do a lot of breath work every single day.

I would do like meditation tapes.

I would do exercises like hold ice cubes in my hand and like breathe through little things like it's like TMI.

But if you take a bowel movement instead of like tensing up, just like breathing through the bowel movement because it's a very similar feel.

Yeah.

So a lot of different practices.

And so the day of the home birth, I was 39 weeks.

Both babies came a few days early.

I was 39 weeks.
