Sibling Support: Navigating Birth with Children Present
In this insightful episode of Birth, Baby! Podcast, we dive deep into the often-contemplated decision of whether to have siblings present during the birth of a new baby. Join us as we welcome back the esteemed midwife, Leonora Colen, from Home Birth Honey in Austin, Texas, to explore the nuanced pros and cons of this unique birthing experience.
In this conversation, we discuss the topic of siblings in the birth space, particularly for out-of-hospital births. We provide tips for preparing children for the birth of a sibling, including using curated videos to educate them about birth, discussing the sounds of birth, and ensuring that one person is dedicated to the well-being of the child during the birth. We also talk about the challenges of having children present during labor and the importance of having a backup plan. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the timing of labor for second-time parents and the benefits of home birth and midwifery care.
