Ask me how I know ;) Welcome to my very first weekly voice memo/phone chat! I’m opening up question boxes on Sundays over on the ATB instagram, and often times get repeat questions. I thought I’d answer them in a “phone call with a friend” style format.This week I’m answering the Q: “I’m a first time mama about to have a home birth, give me your best tips!” Homebirth is one of my favorite topics so, LOL at me saying a 5-10 minute voice memo knowing FULL WELL I would go over that. Anyway. Hope it helps This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit accordingtobridget.substack.com/subscribe
