About this listen

 In this episode we speak with @suzukibears a mother of two originally from Toronto, Canada. After a positive birth experience at Sapporo Maternity Women’s Hospital in 2020 (during the pandemic) she heard about Ekubo Midwifery during her 2nd pregnancy and decided to have a home birth there in 2023 for another positive birth experience. She shares the unique experience of tasting their 2nd baby’s placenta, a Mother’s Blessing & gives her advice for others that are considering changing their birth care providers mid-pregnancy. To hear more about Amy's first birth experience you can listen here Care facilities: + Sapporo Maternity Women's Hospital + Ekubo Midwifery Clinic + ENA Ladies Clinic (partner clinic) PS. Amy & I both gave birth in the same midwifery home just one year apart from each other! ------------------------------------------------- Show notes: Covid 19, birth partners, positive births, University hospital, breastfeeding, lightning crotch, natural birth, midwifery, home birth, eating placenta, afterbirth, Mother's blessing, blessingway, Stephanie Kawaii, Tokyo Doula cafe, fetal scope, fetal heart rate monitor.
