Lilly is back on The Birth Hour to share her second birth story. Unlike her first at a hospital, Lilly chose halfway through her pregnancy to have her second baby at home, with the help of her husband, Ryan, Doula Kaitlyn Wozniak, and Midwives Katie and Caren from Chesapeake Midwifery. Lilly shares how she was able to create a positive pregnancy experience, one in which she was the hero instead of the victim, and how that ultimately led her to choose a home birth delivery. Grounded in inner knowing, trust of the body, and power instead of fear, she shares her empowering experience in labor, where she was allowed to lead the process. Finally, she discusses her experience with postpartum depression/anxiety, the power of community, and how she got through it to the flow state of motherhood that she is in now.

Needed
There is overwhelming evidence that higher standards of nutrition support fertility, birth outcomes, and lifelong health. Unfortunately, the prenatal vitamin industry is failing us, leaving 95% of us depleted during one of the most nutritionally demanding times in our lives. Most prenatal vitamins only provide bare minimum nutrition, while Needed goes beyond bare minimums with products that can meet the needs of our minds, bodies, and babies. I’m excited to partner with Needed and offer you a special discount. Get 20% off your first order with code BIRTHHOUR at thisisneeded.com.
I feel confident recommending Needed because their products are rigorously third-party tested and endorsed by over 10,000 women’s health experts. Needed’s prenatal multivitamin comes in two forms – capsules or a delicious vanilla powder. In addition to the prenatal multivitamin, Needed has created bundle options to meet your needs, not only during different stages of pregnancy but also while trying to conceive and postpartum. As a mom of three, I especially love their collagen, pre/probiotics and cognitive support supplement.
Head over to thisisneeded.com to find your perfect bundle and use code BIRTHHOUR for 20% off your first order and up to 40% off select plans.
