In this deeply personal and moving episode of Mum Era, Renee Bargh shares the intimate details of her recent home birth, supported by her private midwife, Janine O’Brien. Janine was also the midwife for co-host Olivia Davies’ home birth with her son, making this conversation feel especially tender and connected.
Together, they explore the layers of emotional connection, the importance of safe, supported environments in birth, and the healing power of telling our birth stories. From navigating fear to celebrating unexpected joy, this conversation is a love letter to women’s health, sovereignty in birth choices, and the midwives who hold space through one of life’s most sacred transitions.
