3 Birth Stories, 3 Experiences: Maren Rider’s Journey to Home Birth Bliss

What do you get when you mix Irish twins, a surprise pregnancy, and a determined mama ready for her first home birth? A fast, powerful, and totally redemptive third birth story! 🙌 In this episode, Maren takes us through the highs, the stalls, and the five-minute pushing stage that made her say: “I’m never going back to the hospital.” She shares the mental prep that kept her grounded, how her husband and mom tag-teamed support, and why letting her body lead was the best decision she could’ve made. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to give birth at home—this one’s for you. ✨ Spoiler alert: She’s now officially had a hospital, birth center, and home birth… and she’s got so much wisdom.
