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

EP 33 \ The Immeasurable JOY of Birth

Birth is an immensely JOYFUL event.  Our culture has conditioned us to view it as a painful, scary event, but it shouldn't be anything of the kind.  It is a beautiful rite of passage in which God uses us, the mothers, to create brand new humans. Inside this episode, we spend some time really enjoying the thought of what pregnancy is and should be, not what the world has turned it into.

Ep 32 \ The Birthing Of A Mother - 4 Ways To Reclaim A Safe, Transformational Birth Of A New Mother

Our medicalized maternity system has turned birth into a list of computerized checkboxes.  "Healthy" means good vitals to the neglect of all the aspects of motherhood that no checklist can contain.  Childbirth is the birth of a baby, of course, but it is also the birth of a new mother.  It should be a beautiful and transformational experience, not a medical checklist complete with machines and technology.  Inside this episode, we talk about how to bring back a safe, transformational birth of a new mother with God at the center of it -- right where He belongs.

EP 31 \ How I Came To Realize Natural Birth Is Best: My 180 Degree Journey

How does a person like me go from being a fully medical, died-in-the-wool labor and delivery nurse to an all-natural midwife?  This episode tells the story of the transition I underwent as I learned more and more about birth and the realities of our overly medical maternity system.

EP 30 \ The Struggle Is REAL - The Realities Of Natural Birth In A Hospital Setting

Our culture has normalized medical birth.  Over the last 100 or so years, somehow we have been convinced that the best way to have a baby is in a hospitaltal with a tube in your arm and your back so you're numb from the waist down and some monitors strapped to your belly while you lay on your back in a bed.  Our ancestors would roll their eyes.  Anyway -- if you DON'T want that kind of birth, but you are giving birth in the hospital, you're very likely going to face some very real pushback that is going to make it harder for you than it should be.  Information is power though, so in today's episode we're going to address the realities of hospital birth and help you prepare.

EP 29 \ I HATE Pain! How In The WORLD Could Natural Birth Be Right For Me?

Our culture has terrified most women in America (and plenty of other places) to believe they can't labor without an epidural.  They have convinced women that going natural means you're crazy and there's no way you can handle it.  Of course, nobody really LIKES pain, but is you are afraid of pain, does that mean natural birth is not an option for you?  Let's talk about that today.

EP 28 \ I Just Found Out I’m Pregnant! Should I Choose A Midwife Or An OBGYN To Attend My Birth?

When you find out you're pregnant, it's a very exciting time....but that excitement quickly turns into a feeling of overwhelm for many mamas, especially first-time mamas.  I'm willing to bet that you were overwhelmed once it soaked in that you had a baby on the way.  One of the first big decisions you make when you find out you're expecting is who you will see as your provider.  Back in episode 5, we went over a long list of how to pick your provider, but today I want to go a little more into why you choose who you choose.

EP 26 \ REAL Prenatal Nutrition & Preconception Nutrition from REAL Bread - Entire, Uninterrupted Interview with Sue Becker of Bread Beckers

We have become convinced that prenatal nutrition comes from a prenatal vitamin and without swallowing a pill or chewing a pill or gummy, there's no way to be properly nourished during pregnancy.  But is this really true?  For thousands of years, humanity managed to obtain its nutrition from food.  Is that just a thing of the past, or does the food God provided us from the beginning sustain us like it always has?  Is bread a "bad guy" that makes us sick?  Is gluten a toxic substance that we need to avoid?  Stay tuned to have your eyes opened to yet another thing that the world has convinced us is bad that is actually life-giving.
 
This is the entire interview that was previously published in 3 parts.
 
[Note -- The audio is not quite as good as normal and you will hear some papers rustling and writing sounds in the background. I was taking notes and I hope you do too! Even though I've been learning from Sue for nearly 6 years, I still learn more every time I listen to her. I hope you can overlook the sounds -- my mic was more sensitive than I thought!!]
