Unmedicated Home Birth of Baby #1 (intense + positive experience)
This week we are sharing with you the most amazing experience of our life; the birth of our first son Ezra! Giving birth can be so empowering but it doesn't come easily. For us it was the most challenging yet rewarding experience.
Our wish with this video is for you to see another side of birth that you may not have seen before; giving birth at home, unmedicated and with midwives.
Although it might not be possible for every women to experience this, if this is the path you choose for your birth, I hope this video gives you comfort in knowing it's possible and that your body was create for this!
Please comment if you have any questions and please do share your own birth experience! We would love to hear from you.

    You may want to check the local laws. I'm pretty sure that you can't just "have chickens" unless that house is a lot more rural than it appears. Chickens will upset neighbours, both with the noise and the inevitable smells, especially on hot days. Not to mention the health and safety regulations and all aspects associated with keeping any farm animals. Good luck! Welcome to Canada! 🎉

    Great - move to Canada, drive up house prices for actual Canadians, take jobs from actual Canadians, and help yourselves to the health care you refuse to provide for your neighbours in your own country. Maybe go home and FIX THE USA, instead of acting like you’re entitled to screw up things for people in other countries - Canada included.

And also your friends. You'll need more than a couple of hooks! Also it will be a huge mess, so add doors.
