Do you feel out of control in your pregnancy care? Are you yearning to bring God back into your time of birth? Do you feel unsupported and alone in this early motherhood journey? Do you want to find your voice to bring you the kind of care you’ve been dreaming to have?
It is possible to reclaim your pregnancy and postpartum so you can have the peace and joy God intended you to have during this beautiful time of life. This show is going to be an answer to the prayer you’ve had in your heart to find a better way.
Hey! I’m Lori Morris, a certified nurse-midwife and a mama of three babies born on my terms in the water outside of the hospital. I’ve got over 20 years of experience in this broken medicalized world of childbirth. 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.

EP 88 \ The One Thing You CAN Control In Pregnancy
SHOW NOTES:
Today’s episode is all about nutrition because there isn’t much you can control about pregnancy, but what you eat is one of them and we need to be making sure we do our best to give our bodies and our babies the absolute best we can so we can be healthy and strong throughout pregnancy. This information is also especially useful to moms who are trying to conceive before conception has occurred. Preconception nutrition is important because most organs are already formed by the time a mom gets a positive pregnancy test. The nutrition needs to already be on board to get optimum results.

EP 86 \ Circumcision Series Follow-up: The Truth About Biblical Circumcision vs. Modern Routine Infant Circumcision
Many of you have struggled since listening to my series on circumcision back in January with knowing how to make sense of the current circumcision situation in our country and how that relates to the Old Testament biblical mandate for circumcision. I got an email from one of my listeners that shed some new light on the topic that I think will help you, so today I'm sharing with you what she shared with me. I hope this helps you. Let me know what you think.

EP 85 \ Overcoming Birth Trauma To Have A God-Filled, Peaceful Homebirth with Aly McClain
In today's episode, I interview Aly McClain from the Peaceful Homebirth podcast. Aly shares with us her background as a registered nurse, the story of her traumatic c-section birth with her first baby, her road to healing and recovery, and her beautiful, redeeming home birth she went on to have later. You will learn about how even those of us in the medical field can fall a victim to the lies and the cascade of interventions, but you will also learn how you can rise above it and heal for future births if you've had a birth that didn't go the way you wanted it to.

EP 84 \ How Routine Testing Can Ruin Your Birth Plans/ The Damage Of False Positives And Incidental Findings
SHOW NOTES:
Are routine prenatal tests a good idea or are they simply another tool of our medicalized maternity system used to derail our birth plans and get us back in line with the standardized care they prefer? This episode will look at things like routine STD testing (specifically syphilis testing which is called RPR and TPPA), routine gestational diabetes testing, routine ultrasounds, and routine urinalysis tests which can find GBS and cause you to be called GBS positive long before birth is near. This episode will provide you will information and data to make informed decisions (informed consent or informed refusal) about your care.

EP 83 \ Those Who Are Well Have No Need Of A Physician, But Those Who Are Sick: The Inherent Risks Of Being Seen By A Doctor For Pregnancy (Which Is Not An Illness)
SHOW NOTES:
Pregnant women are not sick. Pregnant women are NORMAL and they should be treated that way. But 90% of women choose to see obstetricians for their pregnancies. Obstetricians are trained surgeons. We can't be surprised when surgeons act like surgeons. This episode dives into the risks women take when they decide to see an OBGYN for their normal pregnancy.

Customer Reviews
Good for my clients
I’m a doula and childbirth educator outside of Atlanta. I have been listening everyday for a couple weeks and can’t get enough! I’ve learned so much and now share episodes with my clients so they can feel empowered and make informed decisions! Thank you for having the boldness to speak up and speak out! It’s so needed!
A Christian midwife’s knowledge. Exactly what I needed!!!
I’m a mom of 7 soon to be 8. While I'm not new to homebirth after having 6 home births. I did struggle to find a Christian midwife’s tips and knowledge on how to deal with and understand postpartum. Until now that is. I stumbled on this podcast seeking help on postpartum since I struggle so much with it every time I give birth. I found an episode dedicated to answering postpartum questions I had. Ever since listening to that episode I have been binge listening to all the others. I thought I already knew so much about birth and pregnancy since I’ve done so much research over the years and having 7 babies of my own. I am so incredibly amazed at this podcast. It is such a blessing to have a Christian perspective on birth. I feel like so many things I read or watched had a new age feel to it which I don’t believe in. I believe pregnancy and birth is very spiritual and we can only really gain knowledge getting it from the Bible. Lori’s Christian perspective is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you Lori for blessing us women with your time and knowledge. Please don’t stop. It is so encouraging in such an important time in women’s lives.
Incredible Podcast!
As a first time mom going through my first ever pregnancy, I was desperate to find information that wasn’t sold out to the medical system. I need balanced, rounded info from someone with my worldview - and this podcast has delivered in spades! Thank you thank you thank you so much for presenting birth with the understanding that it is NOT a medical emergency and our Heavenly Father has created us to do this: we just need a bit of guidance! ❤️
