Peaceful Homebirth Podcast | Homebirth Preparation for Christian Women & Healing from Birth Trauma Aly McClain

I love a good birth story and this one is so sweet! If I had a quarter for anytime I heard a first time mom say she’s going to birth at a birth center or hospital for the first one “just in case.” There is no “test run” in your childbaring years. Every birth is so different and deserving of love, care and respect. Each birth is different and each birth matters. My “test run” birth with my first baby which ended in a c-section, obviously set me up with a deficit in future births.  And for 30% of women birthing in a hospital it’s also setting them up with a deficit as well. I’m seeing a movement of first time moms, like my guest today, make empowered and faithfilled decisions to birth at home and it makes me so excited! You are apart of the movement to make homebirth the FIRST option in our country! Changing cultural norms takes time but it starts with you and your family. 
Let me introduce my guest to you all today: Olivia and her husband, CJ, had their first baby, Zara, in December of 2023, finding out she was pregnant shortly after their wedding and move to Nebraska. Olivia now stays home with Zara while still dabbling in her previous career as a journalist by freelancing from home. From the moment the pregnancy test read positive, Olivia dove into all things pregnancy and birth be has become a birth enthusiast — talking about homebirth to anyone who will listen.

I have another homebirth story for you today! Samara chose to have a homebirth after experiencing 2 hospital births that weren’t exactly what she was looking for. She had a deep desire to homebirth and through a turn of events she pursued that option with her third. 
 
Samara is a stay at home mama to three little ones, a 5 year old girl, a 3 year old boy, and a 10 month old boy.  She loves to live a naturally minded life, from using toxin free products, to eating clean, organic whole foods. She does cloth diapering and EC, loves to baby wear, and chooses barefoot friendly shoes and natural fiber clothing.  She likes to start her days focusing on God, and having quiet time in His Word.  And both homeschooling and home birthing are important to her.

Does God promise things anymore? Well I would submit to you that I believe God is always speaking. He has in the past and since He doesn’t change He still does speak and share promises with us personally today. Often times I talk to women who have a deep desire to homebirth but their logic get’s in the way of making a decision that matches the dream they have been given.
What follows if allowed to continue is trauma, disappointment and discontentment. Today I’m going to be going through the story of Abraham and Sarah. I found so many amazing nuggets of gold about God’s character that I believe will encourage you today!

One of the biggest fears women share with me is that they are terrified of tearing! Understandably the thought can make you cringe. This is something with my first baby I was so scared of however, once my mindset started to shift about birth in general these fears started to diminish. I want to share with you some of these mindset shifts that have helped me and other’s I have worked with overcome the fear of tearing!
