Midwife Kristine Lauria || Supporting twins, triplets and breech at home + Doctors Without Borders

Birthing at Home: A Podcast

One of my favourtite episodes, talking to Kristine was incredible. What a woman. Working with some of the highest risk women in the world in refugee camps amongst other very low/impoverished places where c-section rates are only 5% and the whole scope of midwifery care is used. Whilst she is also a registered midwife, former traditional midwife, in the United States where she recently supported her approx. 10th set of triplets at home. Kristine doesn't practice as a primary midwife in the states but she shares her incredible adventures and tales via her instagram and blog.
Additionally, she works with Breech Without Borders, supporting the lost skills of breech vaginal birth to midwifes and doctors.
An incredible episode!!
