    156: The Birth Was Painless But The Experience Wasn't - Part 1 (Hospital Birth, Natural Birth, Shoulder Dystocia) [with Rebekah Watkins]

    When your husband is a paramedic and you watch lots of birth videos, what else is there to need going into your first unmedicated birth, and a hospital birth at that? Well, while Rebekah’s first labor went quickly and smoothly, the actual delivery did not. A supposed shoulder dystocia and then a quick cutting of the cord and whisking away of her baby would leave her traumatized and completely alone. If that wasn’t enough, she would practically be held hostage at the hospital for the next several days with NICU policies and threats of rare and dangerous diseases her perfectly healthy baby did not have. All of this would feed directly into her postpartum experience (not to mention her deep second degree tear) leaving her anxious, fearful and altogether unwell. How could she go on to have another baby after all of that? Send us Fan Mail Support the show Has our podcast made an impact in your life? Please consider supporting us so we can continue!

    154: God's Will For Your Birth Can Look Different Each Time (Hashimotos, Natural Birth, Hospital Birth) [with Miriam Jussila]

    When your mom has had six natural births, five of which were in the hospital, and one home birth that wasn’t actually a great experience, it’s only natural that you’d want to have a hospital birth. SO when Miriam got pregnant with her first, that’s just what she chose, and thankfully, this specific hospital was actually quite accommodating for a hospital and she had a great midwife team and amazing volunteer doula! As her births continued and as she became more and more educated, she realized her deep desire for a home birth, but she would have to surrender that desire to the Lord in order to experience His peace during her pregnancy and lean into His timing, not hers!

    153: Navigating the Surprises of Pregnancy with Grace (Hospital Birth, Home Birth, Twins) [with Kelli Ford]

    Kelli was anticipating a beautiful, unmedicated hospital birth for her first, but an assumed diagnosis of cholestasis would have her being induced on pitocin and change all of her plans. Next time she was anticipating the same outcome, but thankfully had the birth she had planned the first time, but realized that she no longer wanted to fight the battle of trying to have a natural birth in the hospital and being questioned about every decision she was making. So when she got pregnant with twins, she and her husband landed on having a home birth! This didn’t mean, however, that her anxiety around the delivery vanished, as God would have to teach her that surrendering her plans and giving Him control was the only way that would happen, regardless of where or how she gave birth!

    152: How Postpartum Complications Strengthen Your Faith (Hospital Birth, Natural Birth, Infant Illness) [with Scotlyn Harrison]

    A lot of second time moms think they have a longer labor ahead of them than they actually do…and it was no different for Scotlyn when her labor zoomed by and nobody made it to the labor and delivery room before her daughter was born, not even Scotlyn! But a dream birth doesn’t always make for a dream postpartum. When Scotlyn’s daughter, Winnie, was two weeks old, her and her husband would face a challenge harder than birth itself as their daughter was rushed to the ER with vitals that wouldn’t stabilize, and eventually taken to Duke’s pediatric cardiology department. Seeing her daughter in this state was incredibly difficult for Scotlyn, but God used this situation to bring Scotlyn closer together with her husband, closer together with God himself, and to allow her to never take the gift of life for granted.

    151: Prepping For Birth Physically and Spiritually (First-Time Mom, Natural Birth, Healthy Living)

    When you’re planning on getting pregnant in advance, making sure your body is healthy and nourished can truly be to your advantage. That’s what Susan did before attempting to conceive her son, and the Lord blessed her with a quick conception and a very smooth pregnancy. She also did her part in preparation for labor through classes, books, podcasts, and hiring a doula. All of this was so beneficial to Susan and her husband Brian, and although she knew God’s will was better than her own and she held her plans with open hands of surrender, He still chose to bless her by answering many prayers during her relatively fast and natural labor as a first-time mother.  Send us Fan Mail Support the show Has our podcast made an impact in your life?
