In this episode, Christina from Derry, Northern Ireland, shares her story of the beautiful family-centered birth of her daughter. Her first baby was born in hospital, which she described as scary, unnatural and lacking control.

Christina knew that she wanted her next birth to be different.

When exploring her options (including wild/unassisted pregnancy, which others described as "a bit mad"), she was able to explore extra support and resources to support her decision making.

Home birth midwives were not likely going to be available to attend, so since Christina knew for sure she wanted to birth at home, she prepared to freebirth.

Telling her story in the spot where she was labouring just 12 days earlier, Christina shares with us all the "best achievement of her life". In her words, "It was the birth of dreams."

Thank you, Christina.
