Ep 154 \ The Real Reason For Christians To Decline Medical Interventions In Pregnancy and Even When You're Not Pregnant

SHOW NOTES:I've talked before about so many medical interventions over the years and gone into detail about the pros and cons of them, and all of that info is relevant…but today I want to go a little deeper into the underlying reasons we as Christians should not be accepting so many medical interventions. Often we kind of separate faith from our health care, but everything we do as Christians is to be to the glory of God -- including how we seek and receive care for our bodies.

EP 146 \ Should You Try Sleep Training With Your Baby? Is There a Better Option?

Postpartum is hard and so is sleep deprivation….and you get a nice helping of both after you have a baby. Some well-meaning people might recommend you work on sleep training your baby early so that you can get back to getting normal amounts of sleep quicker. But is this a good idea? Does it even work? That's the topic of this episode. Specifically, I address co-sleeping and how that might be the solution to the sleep deprivation problem.

EP 142 \ You Can't Know What You Don't Know…But It's Time To Find Out: 7 Things on Moving Forward Without Guilt

SHOW NOTES:
When you learn new things about what is good for your body, you sometimes learn things you wish you had done different. If you connect what you've learned as being a potential cause of something negative that has happened in your past, then it is easy for guilt to set in. In this episode, we talk about how this can happen and how to deal with it so you don't get paralyzed with guilt.

EP 141 \ How To Know What Your Midwife or Doctor Really Thinks About Birth

SHOW NOTES:
A lot of midwives and doctors will tell you on the front end that they are supportive of natural birth, but how can you tell for sure? It is not a good feeling to get to the end of the third trimester only to find out they've pulled a "bait and switch" on you and they're really not all that supportive of your birth plan or birth preferences. The best way to know for sure is to take the time early in pregnancy to do your due diligence by asking some well thought out questions and then listening well to HOW they answer.  This episode takes you through the process so that you'll have a good chance of choosing a practitioner who truly supports the type of birth you want.
 
Here's the list of possible interview questions for when you go to a meet and greet appointment with a midwife or doctor: https://go.yourbirthgodsway.com/blog/interviewquestions

Ep 139 \ But What Does Food Have To Do With Pregnancy: A New Look At An Old Topic

SHOW NOTES:
There is nothing more important to our physical health than what we eat, but it's easy to forget that and compromise.

Ep 137 \ Being "High Risk" Doesn't Mean You Have To Give It All Up

Show Notes:
The medical system is quick to label women as having "high risk pregnancies", but just because you've been labeled high risk doesn't mean you have to give up everything in your birth plan and go along with every intervention in the book. There is a lot of room for you to still be able to get most of the things you want in your birth, even if you end up "high risk" and at a hospital. Today's episode helps you think outside to box for ways to keep most of the things you want in your birth.
