Can you still have a home birth with gestational diabetes?
This question comes up often in the community. Today’s birth story is an example of an answer in the affirmative.Crystal Boymistruk joins us to share her birth story of her second child, daughter Mila. After a hospital birth with her son Niko, Crystal wanted something different for her next birth. Her husband Rob was on board, and they moved forward.
Crystal had a gestational diabetes diagnosis in her first pregnancy, so she wasn’t shocked when it came up again. She talks about her experience with it and how she managed it and addressed the fears and concerns that can come up with the diagnosis and potentials of risking out of a home birth. Also with being 37, Crystal received the “advanced maternal age” label as well.Despite all these factors, Crystal intended for a total physiological birth without interventions.
