Happy Homebirth

Katelyn Fusco started Happy Homebirth after her own positive home birth experience, and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. With 315 episodes and a 4.9 star rating from 566 reviews, this show has built a loyal following among parents who are planning -- or even just curious about -- giving birth at home. Most episodes follow an interview format where Katelyn talks with a mother about her homebirth story. But it's not just cheerleading. She brings on guests who had complicated pregnancies, first-time moms who were nervous about the whole thing, and even women who transferred to the hospital partway through labor. The conversations feel genuine, like you're sitting in on a long chat between friends. Katelyn asks the practical questions that listeners actually want answered: what did contractions feel like, when did you call your midwife, how did your partner react. She also includes episodes with midwives and other birth professionals, covering topics like what to have on hand for a homebirth, how to deal with pushback from family members, and navigating prenatal care outside the traditional OB system. There's a faith-based thread that runs through some episodes, though it's never heavy-handed. The show updates weekly and has been running consistently since 2018. If you're specifically interested in homebirth stories told with warmth and practical detail, this one belongs in your rotation.
