331: HOME BIRTH STORY - From Hospital to Birth Center to Home Birth with Martina Cifiello

Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast

What influences your birth choices?

It’s helpful to look at this, to see what matters to you when it comes to birth, and how you can create a birth environment and culture around you that supports you best.

Today we’re chatting with Martina Cifiello about her birth journey. From a hospital birth with her first child to a birth center with her second to a home birth with her third, Martina walks us through the factors that inspired the changes and evolutions of her births along the way.

Martina shares how supportive and helpful her husband Simone has been over the years as well, taking a team approach to everything.

And fun fact: Martina used the same midwife for her home birth that we had for our home birth, Debbie Schneider of Dawning Life Midwifery. So cool to have that connection!

Things we talk about in this episode: hospital birth, birth center, water birth, Bradley Method, pelvic floor health, birth during COVID, family-centered birth
