Do you feel out of control in your pregnancy care? Are you yearning to bring God back into your time of birth? Do you feel unsupported and alone in this early motherhood journey? Do you want to find your voice to bring you the kind of care you’ve been dreaming to have?
It is possible to reclaim your pregnancy and postpartum so you can have the peace and joy God intended you to have during this beautiful time of life. This show is going to be an answer to the prayer you’ve had in your heart to find a better way.
Hey! I’m Lori Morris, a certified nurse-midwife and a mama of three babies born on my terms in the water outside of the hospital. I’ve got over 20 years of experience in this broken medicalized world of childbirth. I’ve attended hundreds of births as a nurse and later as a certified nurse-midwife in the hospital, in birth centers, and (my own) at home. I know how all sides of maternity care work and I am here to help Christian moms navigate this road with calm and clarity.
Inside this podcast, I will teach you how to:
--＞ Find and use your voice in your pregnancy care
--＞ Prepare for and rock your birth on your terms
--＞ Thrive during postpartum and breastfeeding
I can’t wait to help YOU break free from the grips of a broken medical system that has stripped the beauty and joy from what God made perfect. That doesn’t mean you can’t use the medical system, but we will work together to put it back in its proper place. You are more than a prenatal test result and your baby is more than a grapefruit on a pregnancy app! I give you permission to RELAX and ENJOY this time of life.
So if you’re ready to break away from the conventional to discover God’s beautiful plan for this fleeting time of life, go fill up that water bottle or grab some decaf and get ready. I’m about to show you how to reclaim your prenatal period, your childbirth, and your postpartum time as you become a woman and mother truly made in the image of God. YOU CAN DO THIS! He made you for this and I’m going to help you get there.

EP 92 \ How to Reduce Your Risk of Tearing During Birth
It is only natural that many moms are afraid of tearing "down there" during birth. Perineal tears (aka perineal lacerations) seem pretty scary, but the best way to deal with fear is by getting the information so you can think about it more rationally. Yes, tears do happen, but they are rare and the risk that you have one can be reduced by doing some things before and during birth, so today that's what we're talking about - how to reduce the risk of tearing during birth.

EP 90 \ Newborn Transition to Life on the Outside: How To Make It Smooth and Beautiful
SHOW NOTES
Kinda like with birth, if you listen to people around you, you probably think that the newborn period is a traumatic time of screaming babies and nobody sleeping much. Babies are either colic or teething or allergic to this or that or won’t sleep at night. It can sound pretty scary. But what if I told you that all of that is something that is very true to who they are and who they have always been — they are trying to adjust to something so very different than all they’ve ever known….so we need to try to help them work through that in the right way if we want to make that transition smooth and beautiful.
Inside this episode you’ll get information on how to help make the baby’s transition to life outside the womb smooth and beautiful.

SHOW NOTES:
Have you noticed this terminology that pretty much everybody uses about birth? The doctor said I “had to”. I asked the nurse if I “could”. They wouldn’t “let me”. Do you hear that?

I wanna talk to you today about how a simple change in your mindset can transform the way your birth goes.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn 3 things that are going to empower you to make strong, confident decisions around your birth. You’ll walk away knowing that you can own your birth no matter who you are!

EP 88 \ The One Thing You CAN Control In Pregnancy
SHOW NOTES:
Today’s episode is all about nutrition because there isn’t much you can control about pregnancy, but what you eat is one of them and we need to be making sure we do our best to give our bodies and our babies the absolute best we can so we can be healthy and strong throughout pregnancy. This information is also especially useful to moms who are trying to conceive before conception has occurred. Preconception nutrition is important because most organs are already formed by the time a mom gets a positive pregnancy test. The nutrition needs to already be on board to get optimum results.
