Rianna: Hospital Birth and Three Home Births, All Fast and Positive, Fourth Baby Born In Her Backyard Beach

Rianna from Texas joined us on the podcast this week sharing her four birth stories. Her four kids range in ages from 18 to 4. She had her first son in a hospital and ate an apple while she filled out paperwork while in labor, and met her delivery doctor in the elevator. When her son was around 2 he was diagnosed with lead poisoning which led Rianna down a more natural path. 

For her second and third children she decided to birth at home with midwives. Her second labor progressed very quickly and the midwife almost didn’t make it to the birth. Her third labor was even quicker and the midwife did end up missing the birth.

Her fourth birth with her son was a dream come true and she labored in her backyard beach all night under the stars. Her instincts ran deep and at one point, her daughter said “who is making those animal noises”!? It was her midwife’s first and probably only outdoor birth.

Rianna is a homeschool mom, artist, and small business owner. She recently just started her own podcast called “The Creative Living Podcast”!!
