About this episode
Azaria shares her two contrasting homebirth experiences, highlighting the importance of informed and supported childbirth.
In this episode of My Black Homebirth Podcast , I’m joined by Azaria—a mom of two, childbirth educator, and advocate for informed, empowered birth. She shares the full story of her two homebirths—from planning a birth center delivery that unexpectedly closed… to pivoting into a powerful first homebirth, and then experiencing a second precipitous birth that lasted just 3 hours . We talk about: Navigating unexpected changes in your birth plan The difference quality care and education can make Fast labor & what it actually feels like The role of doulas, midwives, and support systems Postpartum realities (support, nutrition, and boundaries) How her experiences led her to start My Mama Village This conversation is a reminder that birth doesn’t have to be traumatic —and that when women are informed and supported, everything changes. 🎧 Tune in, share, and send this to a mom who needs to hear it.
