    080 I When the Curveball Becomes Your Constant Companion - Part 1 (with Amanda Adkins)

    Just when we think we know what we can expect from birth, God can throw us another curveball, if for nothing more than to remind us that He is in control, and that our reliance needs to be on Him and not ourselves. Amanda has four incredible birth stories for us, and four incredibly different stories at that. From a planned birth center birth to a severe preeclampsia induction to a placental abruption to a C-section to a NICU stay…and that’s all just in her first birth experience. There’s als...

    079 I The Beauty Behind Leaving Our Plans In God's Hands (with Nicki Sipin)

    Trying to plan a baby around our timeline almost never works out, because God’s time is not our time, but His time is the best time. Nicki had to trust the sovereignty of God when she became pregnant not only with her husband being gone for her entire first trimester of all day nausea and vomiting, but also with her husband being deployed during the end of her pregnancy, their baby’s birth, and the first three and a half month’s of their baby's life. You will be encouraged and lifted up in yo...

Well, you’ll hear today that Lori drove five hours to ensure she could have her baby the way that she wanted to, and the way that God designed her to. Once a medically minded labor and delivery nurse, inducing women at the hospital every night, Lori was changed after going through her doula certification, and ended up becoming a certified nurse midwife who attends home births.

    076 I Self-Advocacy Can Be A Steep Uphill Battle (with Melissa Allen) [Seven Miscarriages, Horrible OBGYNs, Free Birth]

    Time after time after time after time, Melissa had fallen prey to the hands of the hospital system in Canada, and their complete over management of the birthing process, as well as their complete lack of humanity when it comes to such a sacred event. Then, thinking having a home birth with midwives would be worlds better, she was still left fighting for herself every step of the way through her pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

    075 | When God Chooses to Answer Unasked Prayers (with Virginia Simionato) [Postpartum Anxiety, Water Birth, Rainbow Baby]

    Virginia's first experience at her OB's office did not go well, and later on when she felt led to have a water birth, she found out that her provider didn't offer that and switched providers. Being a first-time mom, she was more-or-less tricked into an induction at 39 weeks. While it overall went smoothly, she learned a lot about what she did and didn't want for her next birth. When she got pregnant with her rainbow baby after a devastating miscarriage between her two sons, God told her she w...

    074 | A Journey Through the Unexpected (with Sidney Turner) [Fetal HLHS, Postpartum Depression, Accidental Unassisted Home Birth]

    Everything can seem like it’s going perfectly when you get pregnant quickly, are having no complications and feel well, but for Sidney and her husband, everything changed at her anatomy scan. Getting diagnosed with a severe heart condition for her son in utero turned her world upside down, and would play a major role into how her birth would unfold, as well as how her postpartum and life in general would go following his delivery. A few years later after life had gotten into a groove, they wo...
