In today's episode we continue our conversation with Susan as she shares the last five of her nine birth stories. Susan had her babies between the years of 1973-1989 and is now 71 years old. Her last five births all took place at home, with three of them being unassisted, and one of the babies weighing in at just under 13 pounds.

Join us as Susan shares her last five birth stories. We also discuss how routine prenatal testing had increased by the time of Susan's last pregnancy, how giving birth at home can increase your chances of having a VBAC, the value of support and being surrounded by other nursing mothers when nursing our own babies, the differences in women who grew up viewing birth as a normal, natural things when it becomes their time to give birth, and how Susan's experiences and knowledge from her childbearing years helped her support her children during birth (including catching one of her own grandbabies at home!).

Today’s episode is Part Two of a two part series, so if you haven’t listened to last week’s episode, check that out to hear Susan's first four birth stories.
