** 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.

One of the absolute most consequential decisions you'll make that will have a huge impact on your birth will be who you hire to care for you during pregnancy and attend your birth. That one person, unfortunately, has the power to make or break your birth plan. It is absolutely vital that you take your time, do you due diligence, and choose wisely. Inside of this episode, I dig into the different types of midwives so if you decide you would like to hire a midwife for your birth, you will understand the difference in their credentials. I talk about certified nurse-midwives (CNMs), certified professional midwives (CPMs), certified midwives (CMs), and lay midwives.

Many things are advertised as being helpful in childbirth. Many things ARE truly helpful. Childbirth education courses help. Preparation helps. But there is one thing that is simply irreplaceable in our medical world that you must have to have a good chance at succeeding in natural birth. This episode will dig into that one thing. You CAN rock natural birth -- and taking care of this thing will increase your odds for making it happen.

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.

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!
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.
