Twin homebirth with midwifery support + accidental homebirth || Charlotte's birth of Halima (2022) and Jameela + Jibreel (2025) at home (New South Wales)

This is episode 78. Today Charlotte, living on Darug Country and a mum of 4 shares her amazing birth stories. 

This is a super special episode because Charlotte is probably one of the few women in Australia in recent times who has been supported by private midwives to birth her twins at home. 

Prior to her twins being born at home, she also had an accidental homebirth. She shares her journey to finding homebirth, her 3 pregnancies and the emotional journey of choosing something that she felt was safest and best for her and her twins, even when that may have made others uncomfortable. 

It’s a fantastic episode and demonstrates true woman centred care. 

**Charlotte also wanted to share that her sharing her story of birthing her twins at home doesn’t mean she believes everyone should. She wishes that more people knew they could hire private midwives for pre and post natal care so that women can have continuity of care and fill the gaps a lot of hospitals systems have.**

I hope you’ll also forgive my error in my audio quality for this episode and hope it doesn’t detract from Charlotte’s story sharing.
