Trust, Surrender and the Magic of Home Birth with Melissa Thormahlen
Manage episode 467513993 series 1260191
In today's episode we're talking to two-time mom Melissa Thormahlen, about the home birth of her son Tyler. Melissa's home birth story is a beautiful example of trust and surrender to the process of childbirth.
Melissa Thormahlen knows how to give me “all the feels.” I knew her story would impact many when her first email to me about her birth story had me tearing up.
She experienced most of her birthing experience at home with her first baby Emeline, before transferring to a hospital and having a beautiful birth.
For Tyler, baby number 2, she knew she wanted to go for a home birth again because she trusted her body and her amazing birth team.
In Tyler’s birth story, Melissa explains the trust and surrender to the process. She also took time to be close and intimate with her husband, Paul in the time before active labor.
When baby Tyler was born in the bathtub after a strong surge that took everyone by surprise she exclaimed, “I DID IT!”
We even get to hear from baby Tyler as he chimes in a couple of times. We love when the babies make little appearances, they’re the reason we’ve come together to chat after all!
