Home Birth vs. Hospital Birth — The Unexpected, Hilarious, and Totally Unfiltered Truth

In this episode of Pearls of Motherhood, Diana’s hospital birth took such a turn that the entire unit shut down, while Tessie’s home birth came with a clean-up scene straight out of a crime drama. We swap stories, compare pain scales, debate safety vs. comfort, and confess the moments no one puts in the glossy birth magazines.

Whether you’re an epidural enthusiast or a home-birth believer, you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even rethink your “perfect” birth plan.

Perfect for moms-to-be, birth story addicts, and anyone who loves a little drama with their delivery.

Perfect moms don’t listen to this podcast—and we like it that way. We’re laughing through the mess, reframing the fails, and calling it growth. Forgot snack day? Lost the permission slip? Us too! Motherhood’s not a performance—it’s a beautifully chaotic ride. If you’ve ever felt like you’re messing it all up… you’re in the right place.
