The Realities of Home Birth: Myths, Emergencies, and Honest Midwife Insight with Miri and Kimberly

Midwives, Transfers, and the Truth About Birth Choices — with Miri & Dr. Kimberly Taylor In this episode, I sat down with Miri and Kimberly Taylor to unpack some of the biggest misconceptions in the birth world, from the misuse of the term “lay midwife” to the idea that transfers mean failure. We covered: Why language matters when talking about midwifery The gray areas between hospital and home birth How midwives evaluate risk, readiness, and motivation What really happens during transfers and why they’re a sign of good care Why informed consent means more than liking someone’s Instagram How families can ask better questions and stay empowered This conversation is honest, nuanced, and rooted in safety, not ideology. If you’re a parent, birth worker, or provider trying to make sense of conflicting messages around birth, this one matters.
