Mindy Duff: Two Hospital Births, One Accidental Unassisted Home Birth Due to 20 Minute Precipitous Labor

Mindy Duff from Iowa joins us on this week’s episode to share her three births. She is the host of the podcast, Up-level Your Life with Mindy, as well as a speaker, certified holistic health and nutrition coach and a published author. Her mission is to help individuals uncover their best selves through the power of self-care and self-love.

Mindy’s first child was born at 37 weeks, and she was monitored for preeclampsia towards the end. She was induced with her second child at 38 weeks due to preeclampsia. During her third pregnancy, she had an OB appointment two days before her due date and was 3cm and fully effaced. Her doctor told her she was very close to being sent to the hospital but he couldn’t make that decision yet. That night, she went to bed and woke up at 12:25am, went to the bathroom, and intense contractions immediately started. Her son was born 25 minutes later in her home with her husband there to catch him. She had a normal stay in the hospital from there.

Mindy is co-author of a book coming soon and hosts her own podcast ,“Up-Level Your Life with Mindy.” She is also a holistic health & nutrition coach.
