116: The Power of Consent & Connected Care in Homebirth & Post-Birth Hospital Transfer

  • Summary

  • In this episode, Sheyda and her partner Corentin (who goes by Coco) share their experience of having a home birth for their son, Hugo. They discuss their prenatal journey in choosing to give birth at home with a midwife team and doula team and how ideal their birth team was for them because they prioritized consent-based, connected care. They share how, while the labor and birth went pretty smoothly, Sheyda chose to transfer to the hospital due to heavy bleeding afterwards in order to recover more quickly. Coco reflects on the hours he had alone as a new dad with their newborn while Sheyda was in the hospital for just shy of a day. You’ll hear Sheyda & Coco emphasize the value of postpartum support from both friends and professionals such as a postpartum doula and pelvic floor therapist. Sheyda shares how these experiences inspired her to become a postpartum doula, stressing the significance of emotional and practical support for new parents.
