    070 I Induction 101: Tips on Avoiding and Preparing for Induction (with Kayla Heeter)

    In the United States today, about ⅓ of all births are induced, and about ⅓ of all births end in C-Sections. And while inductions aren’t responsible for all of those C-Sections, I’d argue they’re responsible, at least indirectly, for about half of them. Today we deep dive into the world of inductions-what are they? How are they done? Why are they done? And why shouldn’t they be done? Is there anything you can do to prevent having an induction? Is there anything you can do to induce naturally i...

    068 I How Disappointment Can Be a Gateway for Blessing (with Ashley Clemons) [Unmedicated Birth, IUI, & God's Timing]

    It can be so incredibly difficult to understand God’s timing. He can see and understand so much more than we’ll ever be able to, and living in His will is truly the best place for us all, but will we trust Him in the waiting? Hear how Ashley and her husband had to do that as they patiently waited for God to give them their two babies, who were born over a decade a part.Interested in sharing your story on the podcast?

    067 I The Significance of Choosing a Great Midwife and Doula (with Rachel Leyland) [Water Birth | Accidental Unassisted Homebirth]

    The key to getting through a long early labor is distraction and rest! Unfortunately, Rachel, along with most first time moms, was too excited to do either of these things, and her focus on her already long labor made it feel like it was lasting an eternity. Thankfully she learned a thing or two between her two births, and her second experience was much swifter and more empowering, even though it was just as intense. Our focus makes a world of a difference in our labors, as well as where our ...

    Jaylynn was dealt some hard cards in this broken world, but her faith is in God and she knows how the story ends. As she planned her first birth, a home birth, those plans came crashing down when she was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia and had to immediately be induced at the hospital, with a two week NICU stay for her son. Then, when she gets a beautiful birth for her second, she had to say goodbye to him all too soon to be reunited with him again one day in Heaven. Finally, as she’s exp...

    Coming from a medical background, and just winging your first birth can make for quite a traumatic birth experience. Then, when you’ve discovered a more holistic lifestyle but find out your next baby is breech, one that you went through many losses to get, the utter disappointment you can experience knowing you won’t be getting the redemptive birth you were seeking.

    064 I Managing the Uncertainties of Postpartum Anxiety (with Kristian Jordan)

    When you’re a birth worker who’s attended many births and knows the ins and outs of postpartum, when you have done this before, when you’re having your third baby and everything goes perfectly smoothly, when you have a beautiful birth, a healthy baby and a healthy mama, when the baby is nursing well and has a wonderful latch, when you've got people around you bringing you meals and doing your laundry, when you know and love Jesus and follow Him, your postpartum is bound to be blissful, right?...

    063 I Love, Loss, and Lessons Learned (with Elleah Meyer)

Elleah shares her three pregnancy stories with us today, her first in the hospital, her second a devastating miscarriage, and her third planned birth center birth, but ended up having that baby….somewhere else!
