EP 6 \ Afraid You Can’t Have The Birth You Want? 4 Steps To STOP The Self-Doubt And REFOCUS On What’s Possible With GOD During Your Pregnancy & Birth

Ina May Gaskin said in her book Ina May's Guide to Childbirth, "Even if it has not been your habit throughout your life so far, I recommend that you learn to think positively about your body."  The devil's lies have convinced so many women that they are incapable of doing the very thing God designed them to do.  Inside today's episode, we look at 4 ways that you can STOP that negativity and self-doubt and START refocusing on what is possible when we put our faith and trust in GOD!  We can give birth!  We can have healthy pregnancies and grow healthy babies!  We can do all the things He designed us to do if only we will follow Him and His will!

EP 5 \ Want To Have TRUST And Be A Partner With Your Provider? Here’s How To Pick A Midwife or Doctor -- Questions To Ask BEFORE You Decide

Last episode we looked at the different types of midwives you can choose to attend your birth or care for you during pregnancy.  Inside this episode, we will go through a list of questions to ask a midwife or doctor when interviewing them before hiring them for your prenatal care.  The questions can also be tweaked to use when interviewing a doula.  Choose your top questions because no provider will be able to give you enough time for you to answer them all.  Use this episode to help you make the best choice for your birth and pregnancy care.

EP 2 \ WHERE Is Your Faith? 6 Questions to Ask Yourself As You Consider God’s Plan For Your Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond

Are you ready for a challenge?  For too long, Christian women have had their focus skewed by fear from the world which has caused their faith to get off track even if they don't fully realize it.  Inside of this episode, I challenge you to really take a deep look at where your faith lies.  This episode may step on your toes, but my aim is not to offend you but to help you focus on God, the One who designed you AND designed your baby perfectly.  He knows you better than any person on this planet and He will guide you in a way that no one else can.  But to get that proper focus, we have to break free from the fear and realize that we've been lied to for a LONG time.  This episode will look at six questions that you need to consider and ask yourself as you walk this road of childbearing.

Welcome to Your Birth, God’s Way Podcast -- Trailer

Podcast debuts January 3, 2023!!!
 
Welcome to the Your Birth, God's Way Podcast, a show to help you find the beauty of God's design for your pregnancy, birth, and beyond.  Listen, ladies, I totally get it.  There just aren't enough hours in the day to get done all that's on your to-do list.  The thought of putting in the time it takes to have a healthy, natural birth in this medical world we live in seems a bit much.  But I also know you are TIRED of feeling out of control in your pregnancy care.  You KNOW deep down that there must be a better way, but you just haven't had the time to find it.  This show is going to be an answer to the prayer you've had in your heart to find the better way.  I'm Lori.  I'm a certified nurse-midwife with over 20 years of experience in this broken medical system.  After all those years of being neck-deep in computer charting, not-so-informed consent, and putting mamas into the unstoppable, downhill snowball that is known as maternity care in this country, I escaped and discovered the secret to having peace and joy during this time (and all times, for that matter) is to trust our Designer!  God's way truly is the best way and I am here to help you find it for yourself.  I had all three of my babies naturally, in the water, outside of the hospital.  I went on to nurse them all well over a year -- one nursed for 4 years -- not even kidding!  I love to help Christian mamas break away from the conventional to discover God's beautiful plan for this fleeting time of life.  He made you for this and I'm here to help you see that He's already given you all you need!  I want YOU to have these blessings in your life, too, like I have. Inside this podcast, you will find encouragement, education, and information to empower you to have God's beauty for you during a time that has been feeling like a string of impersonal medical tests.  Mama, I give you permission to RELAX and ENJOY this beautiful time of life.  You are MORE than a prenatal test result!  Your baby is more than a grapefruit on a pregnancy tracking app.  You are God's creation and so are your precious babies.  If you're ready to reclaim your peace and joy in this beautiful time of life, this is the podcast for you. Listen to me, mama -- YOU CAN DO THIS!  And just like the little engine that could, I'm going to help you do this, little bit by little bit.  You've got all you need already inside you, so go grab that coffee you forgot about in the microwave -- made sure it's decaf if you're cooking a sweet baby in your belly right now -- and let's dive in!
