Ep 68- The Midwifery Care Model with Rebekah Mustaleski

It was such an honor to interview my midwife, Rebekah Mustaleksi, and hear her talk about the midwifery model of care. At 34 weeks pregnant with Ivy, we made the decision to switch to Roots & Wings Midwifery for a home birth. Best decision ever!! Now with this new baby on the way, I've had the opportunity to experience a complete (well, up to this point) pregnancy with my midwives. Having birthed in both a hospital and home atmosphere with medicated and unmedicated experiences, I've gotten to see different approaches to the process of pregnancy and birth. 

I understand that every woman is different, and not everyone desires what I would consider my best birth scenario. So many ladies have asked me about the differences between my birth experiences, and we address many of those differences in this episode. 

As an expectant mama, it is wonderful to know you have options! Whatever you decide, knowing you have choices gives you and your husband things to pray through and consider as you make the best choice for your family. 

I hope this episode will shed some light on midwifery care and home birth. Simeon and I could not be more thankful for the birth and pregnancy experiences the midwifery care model has afforded us. I could not be more excited about delivering another baby with Roots & Wings!
