Ep. 4 - Ready to Unpop with Tori Smith

Author and Mom of 2, Tori Smith, joins us to share her 2 home birth stories and to discuss her new book, Ready to Unpop - A Modern Mama’s Guide to Unpopular Practices in Maternity.

In this episode we talk about: why our moms give us bad advice, things they don’t tell you in pregnancy, why all birth stories matter, and so much more.

Plus, Megan answers a listener question about home birth when mom is overweight or obese.

Tori had been intrigued by home birth for quite some time; however, once she became pregnant choose to pursue a birth center birth because 2 of the people in her life whose opinions she valued dearly, her husband’s and her mother’s, weren’t sold on the idea of home birth.

As it turned out, Tori never did make it to the birth center because she had a very short labor - one that progressed much faster than Tori had expected. Tori’s birth center midwife came to check on her at home, and by time she arrived, Tori was ready to push.

The second time around, Tori planned a home birth right from the get go. At this point her mother and husband had seen the magic of home birth firsthand, and everyone was on board. Tori’s second birth differed quite a bit than her first, but in the end she described it as absolutely peaceful.

These two beautiful birth experiences lead Tori to write and publish her book, Ready to Unpop - A Modern Mama’s Guide to Unpopular Practices in Maternity, which we discuss during the 2nd half of this podcast episode.
