161: HOME BIRTH STORY - From A Four Month Hemorrhage To An Incredible Birth Experience with Raimee Botner

How do you process being pregnant and planning for a birth that you thought you could never have? Our DIAH mama in today’s episode, Raimee Botner, shares her experience of finding out she was pregnant after believing she couldn’t have children. Then healing through an intense miscarriage. Finally to find out she was pregnant again, this time with a pregnancy that would come full term and give her her son Otis. We talk about Raimee’s process of doing a lot of self-work and self-love practice. For her, birth was easy in comparison to everything that led up to it.  We also touch on the legality of home birth in her state of Kentucky, the details of her doula and midwife traveling over an hour to get to her birth, and her realization of what love truly is.
