What do you look for in a doula? How do you know what doula is right for you?Our guest Samantha McClellan is a birth doula and a mom. In addition to sharing some great tips and questions for families to ask when it comes to finding a doula and that gaps that a doula helps fill in terms of care, Samantha shares the details of her home birth story.After an uncomplicated hospital birth with her first child, Leah, the immediate postpartum time in the hospital is what inspired Samantha and her husband Marcus to go with the home birth for their second birth with their son Micah.Her second pregnancy was unexpected and with an IUD in place. The rest of the pregnancy and birth was uncomplicated and healthy. She also continued nursing her daughter Leah through her second pregnancy. And while we might think a home birth will include twinkle lights, candles and soft music, sometimes it’s right in the middle of the kitchen, on an air mattress!Links: Samantha’s Website: https://www.carolinadoulacollective.com/  Samantha’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinadoulacollective/  Our website: https://www.diahpodcast.com/  DIAH Shop: https://www.bonfire.com/store/diahpodcast/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diahpodcast/  Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/diahpodcast  Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1904721379788084/?ref=bookmarks   Learn more about your ad choices.
