A Breech Homebirth, with Jessica Winquist

We continue with our “Birth Stories” for the summer series! Today’s story comes from Jessica Winquist, who was determined to have a vaginal birth, even though her daughter was breech. As it turns out, pregnancy ended up being the most stressful part of her experience. Go check out her breech homebirth story.

 

Listen directly through our website player, or however you usually listen to podcasts.

 

What we talked about:

  • Wanting a homebirth, and then finding out baby was breech!
  • Doing all the things to encourage baby to flip
  • Exploring the options and trying to bring breech back
  • Assembling quite the extended pregnancy and birth team
  • Baking cookies and just hanging out
  • And then the tub was… meh.
  • Sometimes you just need to lunge
  • Mad midwifery skills… while holding a cup of coffee
  • Sometimes babies need a minute
