On today's episode, I am chatting with the brilliant Sarah Smits. Sarah is an incredibly multi-faceted woman, she wears many hats. She is a midwife, lactation consultant, healer, and pregnancy workout instructor. We discuss how she got into birth work, compare her experiences with hospital birth and homebirth, HOW to do your own research before and during pregnancy in order to make fully informed decisions (and avoid birth trauma) and the importance of trusting your intuition.
