“When we planned our first home birth in 2016, we had no idea it would spark a full-on life mission. Two magical home births later — plus hundreds of conversations with moms, midwives, doulas, doctors, and birth workers — and we’re still just as obsessed with supporting families in choosing empowered, sovereign birth. We’ve spent nearly a decade deep in this world, and we’re here to share everything we’ve learned (and keep learning) so you can feel confident, connected, and wildly supported in your birth journey.”

9 Years. Hundreds of Stories. Millions of Inspiring Moments.
At Doing It At Home, our mission is to help parents believe in their success with home birth. We share real stories, offer empowering education, and create a community where you feel seen, celebrated, and supported. There are many reasons DIAH has become a trusted space for home birth conversations, here are just a few.
Years of Conversations That Matter
It’s not just how long we’ve been sharing stories; it’s what we’ve done with that time. Since 2016, we’ve been listening to families, inviting honest conversations, and continuously creating content to support your home birth journey. Our podcast, now with hundreds of episodes and millions of downloads, has become a go-to resource for parents who want real, unfiltered, and uplifting perspectives on birth.
Independent and Family-Led
DIAH was created by us, Sarah and Matthew Bivens, after our own transformative home birth with our daughter, Maya. We’re still family-led today, which means we can stay focused on what matters most: serving you. This work is personal to us because we’ve lived it, and we know the difference it makes.
With You Every Step of the Way
From your first thoughts about home birth to the moment you’re holding your baby, we’re here for you. We’ve designed the DIAH experience — from our podcast and resources to our online community — to feel clear, supportive, and inspiring. And when you need extra help, our team (that’s mostly just us!) is always a message away.
It all started in 2016…
We were pregnant and planning your typical hospital birth, because that’s all we knew. But somewhere towards the middle of the pregnancy we realized that birthing in a hospital was not for us, and we began to look at what the other options were. Fast forward to September 11, 2026 when we’re welcoming our first daughter Maya into the world via an incredible home birth! We did it again 6 years later, on November 30, 2022, when Naomi came roaring into the world! During our research process, before we made our home birth decision, we struggled to find empowering, raw and honest resources on home birth. Everything was either up in the clouds or tainted with fear and judgement. So we created Doing It At Home to bring authentic, conscious and loving conversations to the topic of home birth.
