Haley Peryer lives in Missouri with her partner, dog, and now 5-month-old baby girl. She enjoys rock climbing and exercise, yoga, art, and candle making. Today she wants to share with you the birth of her little girl, Apoya. When Haley became pregnant, she was working in the heat of Arizona and spending time in beautiful Costa Rica. Her partner Eli was just surprised by the pregnancy. It wasn’t specifically planned but they both knew it was possible based on the previous cycle.
From the beginning of her pregnancy she knew she wanted a very low intervention birth. However, a home birth is out of the question as Haley and Eli live in a non-conventional living space: a 30 foot camper. This is why they went to a birth center where their daughter was born after 33 hours of labor on July 4, 2023. Connect with her on instagram @trippyxturtlexfawn

Today’s episode is sponsored by Convenient Earth. I first learned about Cozy Earth when their sheets were named one of Oprah’s favorite things of 2018 and I’m giving birth in Fall 2018 and treating myself to the softest sheets I’ve ever slept on! I’ve been sleeping on Cozy Earth’s best-selling bamboo sheet set (and their pillow too) ever since. Cozy Earth sheets regulate temperature and are super soft perfect for all the life stages we talk about in The Birth Hour. Seriously, if you are a hot sleeper this is a game changer and worth the investment! They would also make a great baby registry item. Cozy Earth has come up with an exclusive offer for our listeners today. Up to 40% off extensive site when you use the code “BIRTHOUR”
