In this conversation with Staci -- a midwest mom to five -- you'll hear about themes like:
- How she learned to trust herself and authentically know her own preferences
- Having a mother who bcame a midwife after she had grown up
- The slow evolution from being people who would never be crazy enough to have their babies at home to ultimately choosing unassisted birth for their fifth baby
- Her process of choosing birth attendants and a photographer for her unassisted birth
- Wrestling with God over the timing of the start of her labor and ultimately choosing a new attitude, which led to release
- The difference it makes to have no other perceived authority present during labor
- Her moment of mentally deciding -- even in the absence of some physiological signs -- that birth doesn’t need to be long and it was time to push the head out
- How God saw and honored so many of her very specific desires
- Why she believes birth like this is the birthright of every woman
