In today’s episode, we chat with Alinta, a mother who has experienced the beauty and challenges of homebirths for both her children. Alinta shares the powerful story of her first birth, which took place at her mother's house after a 37-hour labour journey. Living a few hours away from a hospital in a remote location, Alinta chose to be with her mum for support during the long labour.
For her second birth, Alinta chose to have her baby at home, in a space she found most comfortable. This time, she welcomed a 4.7kg baby into the world. In addition to her homebirths, Alinta also shares how she supported a friend by donating breast milk during her postpartum period with her second child.
