Labor and Birth Q&A • Pain Level, Regrets, Transferring to the nicu

Thank you for asking your home birth questions over on Instagram! It feels so good to be back recording! In this video I’m talking all about unmedicated labor, pain level, regrets, transferring to the nicu, the cost, and why we ultimately decided on a home birth and if I'd do it again! I hope this video is helpful! Let me know any other questions you have for future Q&A videos!

What happened to Jackson

[@RyanandMelissaPage]

When he was born, he had fluid in his lungs, so we transferred him to the hospital to get some extra care!
