It wasn’t as special as she knew birth could be.</p><p><br></p><p>After being introduced to essential oils at 7 months postpartum, and learning about natural healthcare solutions, she began asking herself a pivotal question: “What are the other options?”</p><p><br></p><p>When she fell pregnant with her second daughter, she decided on a birth center birth, but quickly realized that her experience during her prenatal appointments felt very similar to those she had with her OBGYN during her first pregnancy.</p><p><br></p><p>A doula friend recommended that Amber meet with a different birth center midwife. Amber fell in love with the midwife instantly and after her appointment Amber recalls <em>“Honestly, it was a full body yes. It was something that I knew was going to go well from the moment I had my first appointment with my provider. The way she described the physiology of a woman birthing… I loved it so much that I just knew this is where I was supposed to be.”</em></p><p><br></p><p>As it turned out, the midwife no longer practiced in a birth center setting. Amber would have to pursue a home birth if she wanted to work with this midwife.</p><p>Amber went on to receive the exceptional, individualized, beautiful, prenatal care she deserved, and experienced one of the most impactful moments of her life: giving birth at home in her 400 sq ft apartment.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Fear-Releasing Journal Prompts: </strong><a href=\"https://bit.ly/fear-releasing-prompts\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://bit.ly/fear-releasing-prompts</a> </p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Let’s get social!</strong></h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IG: <a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6395efdd0b13a80010cd2f87/episodes/www.instagram.com/nofearhomebirth\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.instagram.com/nofearhomebirth </a></p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"https://open.acast.com/shows/6395efdd0b13a80010cd2f87/episodes/www.tiktok.com/@nofearhomebirth\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.tiktok.com/@nofearhomebirth</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Submit your home birth question(s): <a href=\"https://forms.gle/GYRTurUAj15bTY4g6\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://forms.gle/GYRTurUAj15bTY4g6</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Share your story on the NFHB podcast: <a href=\"https://forms.gle/i4DERXc4zYuxUMi3A\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://forms.gle/i4DERXc4zYuxUMi3A</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Connect with Amber Wilson: </strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/thishappymom\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.instagram.com/thishappymom</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Connect with Theme Song Singer/Songwriter, Jodi Good:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href=\"http://www.instagram.com/jodigood44\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.instagram.com/jodigood44</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href=\"http://www.tiktok.com/@jodibadman\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.tiktok.com/@jodibadman</a></p>","author_name":"Megan R Cooper"}
