About this episode

Derricka shares her transformative birth story after five cesarean sections, highlighting her journey into birth work and her successful homebirth experience.

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Derricka — a mother of six whose birth story will challenge what many women have been told is possible. After five cesarean births, Derricka carried a quiet but powerful belief that her sixth baby would be different. During this pregnancy, she followed a calling into birth work herself, became a certified doula, and just four days before labor , connected with the midwife who would support the homebirth she had been praying for.
