YOUR BIRTH, GOD’S WAY - Christian Pregnancy, Natural Birth, Postpartum, Breastfeeding Help

** TOP 1.5% of Podcasts in the World ** Are you a Christian mom who is pregnant and you feel out of control in your prenatal care -- like you have no voice and no say in how things go? 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 of having? 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 mama! 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, naturally. 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 and I am here to help Christian moms navigate this road with joy, calm, and clarity. Inside this podcast, I will teach you: --> How to trust God with your pregnancy and birth -- > How to find and use your voice in your pregnancy care --> How to prepare for birth and rock it on your terms (homebirth, birth center birth, or hospital birth) -- > How to have a natural birth if that is what you choose --> How to 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.

I get a lot of questions about doulas and whether you need one for your birth at the hospital, home, or in a birth center, so today I’m going to take a few minutes to explain what a doula is, what they do, and whether you need one for your birth based on where you plan to have your baby.

If you're worried about what you'll do if you change your mind in the middle of labor and decide you want to go to the hospital, this episode is for you.  Transfers seem very scary when you're planning a home birth or a free birth, so demystifying what a transfer looks like can help decrease anxiety and worry, so that's what we're doing in this episode!

Show Notes:
We’ve touched on this before in another episode, but with our focus this past month on home birth, I wanted to spend some time looking more in depth at what comes with the global fee most midwives charge so you can appreciate the immense value that a home birth midwife brings.  I also wanted to look at potential long term costs that will far exceed the midwife’s fee.
 
If you need help figuring out how to afford home birth, or if you need help with any other aspect of home birth, join us for the Home Birth Prep Course LIVE starting July 11th at 7pm Central time where we’ll spend Thursday nights for four weeks diving into these topics in a way that will ensure you are fully prepared for every aspect of your birth at home.  This page has all the details so go check it out!

SHOW NOTES:
I've been seeing a lot about free birth on social media and I've had moms ask me what my opinion is about whether it is a safe option or something to be avoided, so I decided it was time to do an episode on it.  It is a very interesting topic and it is certainly not new. We look at the reality of unattended birth in this episode and think about whether it might be a good option for you.
If you are planning a freebirth and want to learn more about how to prepare your home, what supplies you need and where to get them, how get your family on board, how to make the transition into postpartum and breastfeeding, and so much more, sign up for my LIVE Home Birth Prep Course starting July 11th!

Last week we took a look at home birth together.  Today, we’ll look at hospital birth together.  Not much more to say than that, other than to say if you haven’t listened to episode 95 yet, go do that first, then come back and listen to this episode so you can get the background.
As a midwife who has worked in the hospital and out of the hospital to attend births, and earlier as a labor & delivery (L&D) nurse who helped women with birth in the hospital for many years, I've seen both sides of this picture first hand and they are certainly not the same.  There are really a very few women who truly need the interventions that take place every day to every women in the hospital setting.  Most women can safely give birth out of the hospital and have beautiful, physiologic birth with no complications and no need for intervention.

Everything that is new to you seems scary.  Familiarity is what makes things comfortable and less scary.  This is true for many things and home birth is no different.  I get messages from listeners saying they would love to have a birth at home but their husband isn’t comfortable or maybe they’re scared to do it.  So I want to talk today about whether home birth is scary or if maybe we’re just scared of what you don’t know and your fear is really based on what you’ve been told which might not even be true. But God is not the author of fear….He tells us to FEAR NOT — so let’s get the information and move forward fearlessly.

When you want to have a homebirth but your husband or family isn't on board, it can be a very stressful and frustrating for everybody involved.  They love you dearly and the lies of the world can have them believing that home birth is dangerous and reckless.  Often with the right information, they will change their perspective, so this episode dives into this topic.  It is easier for me to talk to them than for you to since I don't have the emotional ties you do.  Sit down and listen together or just send them the link to listen.  Hopefully this will be the first step to you being on the same page.  Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a very special announcement on this topic!

Prenatal nutrition is one of the only things you can truly control during pregnancy.  If you've listened long to my podcast, you know that's something I preach over and over, especially in episodes 23-26 and 88.  In today's episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE, author of three books all about this topic.  You can find the links to the books below as well as links to the articles she references during our discussion!
Lily's Folic acid vs. folate article
Lily's Article about "Can You Eat Too Much Fish During Pregnancy" (discusses mercury in pregnancy)
Real Food for Pregnancy book
Real Food for Gestational Diabetes book
Real Food for Fertility book

It is only natural that many moms are afraid of tearing "down there" during birth.  Perineal tears (aka perineal lacerations) seem pretty scary, but the best way to deal with fear is by getting the information so you can think about it more rationally.  Yes, tears do happen, but they are rare and the risk that you have one can be reduced by doing some things before and during birth, so today that's what we're talking about - how to reduce the risk of tearing during birth.

Welcome!

I'm Lori Morris, certified nurse-midwife and host of Your Birth, God's Way!  I'm so glad you stopped by!  My prayers is that this podcast will help you grow closer to our Lord and Savior as you learn about how He perfectly designed us to give birth naturally, relying on Him for our strength.  If you have questions, please feel free to email me at lori@yourbirthgodsway.com.
