Having a wonderful birth (and a healthy pregnancy) is never luck. In fact, it usually takes careful planning and purposeful choices.
In today's episode I read Corwin's birth story and then detail out some of the steps I took to have a good pregnancy and a wonderful, safe home birth. These steps go right to the beginning of my pregnancy, but many of them can be used no matter where you are in your own pregnancy!

- Reading Corwin's birth story
- What you must do as soon as you get a positive pregnancy test
- Why freezer meals aren't just for after you have the baby
- The kind of food you should stock your cabinets, fridge, and freezer with
- A vital thing moms-to-be skip (and how you can make sure you don't)
