This show is going to be an answer to the prayer you’ve had in your heart to find a better way. Hey!

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.

    EP 127 \ Forget the Baby Nursery — Plan Your Postpartum: An Episode All About Postpartum Preparations

    Show Notes:   In our culture, tons of money gets spent on the baby nursery.  Moms spend hours loading up their baby registry with stuff they really don’t need and most likely will never use.  I mean, who needs 3000 onesies in newborn size? Rather than putting so much effort into decorating the nursery, spend an equal amount of time, money, and effort to plan your postpartum and you will have a much better chance of having a smooth transition into motherhood.   In this episode we will discuss: - Actual postpartum needs - Meal delivery and prepping for postpartum (mama-meals.com code YBGW for $20 off) - Ways to let people serve you during postpartum - How to prevent marital issues during postpartum   The link to the blog with links to so things I mentioned and so many other things you actually need postpartum is go.yourbirthgodsway.com/blog/postpartummusthaves   — This link may not be live on the day the episode posts, but keep checking back!     Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   — CHRISTIAN CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION - Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!

    EP 126 \ Am I Fear Mongering About Hospital Birth?

    Twice recently I have had reviews that accused me of being a fear mongerer because I tell the truth about hospital birth.  I'm not scared of negative reviews because it means I've hit a nerve -- that's good!  Let's talk about it. Galatians 4:16 says, "Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?"  Sometimes the truth hurts, and sometimes warnings are needed when real danger awaits.  I'm diving into the hornet's nest today as I face the bad reviews.    Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   — CHRISTIAN CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION - Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!

    EP 121 \ Transitioning Into Transition: How to Manage The Moments Before Birth With Composure and Confidence

    There's a moment in time during active labor between stage one and stage two called "transition". This is a time when really everything about labor changes.  It is in this moment that many moms are thrown off of their game and they abandon their plan because they don't understand the flow of labor and they think they can't do it anymore, not realizing they're almost there.  I don't want that to happen to you, so this episode is designed to help you and your husband or support person recognize the signs so you can push through and have the birth God designed you to have.   Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   — CHRISTIAN CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION - Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!

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.
