Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner.

And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones and teach you how to have healthy periods.

Each week, we will be diving into a different topic on women's health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health.

Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your healing journey. We hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, I am talking with Caitlin Fusco of the Happy Homebirth podcast to answer your questions about homebirth.

I put a question box on my Instagram.

We got a lot of questions.

I was excited for this one.

Obviously, I shared my birth story at the beginning of the season. And I

really enjoyed homebirth, but I know that there's a lot of confusion. I think some myths and

misconceptions around it. So Caitlin's going to clear that up for us. She is a homebirth mother,

a childbirth educator and an experienced homebirth attendant. She has seen birth from many angles, literally,

and knows the impact this transformative event can have on you, your baby, and your entrance

into motherhood for the first second or 15th time. This knowledge is what spurred Caitlin to

create happy homebirth, a brand dedicated to supporting, educating, and encouraging

homebirth mothers, through birth stories and expert interviews on the

podcast to intimate education and coaching inside the home birth collective katelyn's goal is to provide

mothers with the tools to empower themselves in their birthing experience and i love that you

are transitioning to helping home birth mothers after they go through their birth experience as well, which I think

is just as important. So thank you for being here, Caitlin.

Thanks, Amanda. I will say that I was listening to your podcast episode about your birth

story before hopping on with you. And it was such a beautiful story. And I love that you shared how it wasn't.
