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.

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.

Kinda like with birth, if you listen to people around you, you probably think that the newborn period is a traumatic time of screaming babies and nobody sleeping much. Babies are either colic or teething or allergic to this or that or won’t sleep at night. It can sound pretty scary. But what if I told you that all of that is something that is very true to who they are and who they have always been — they are trying to adjust to something so very different than all they’ve ever known….so we need to try to help them work through that in the right way if we want to make that transition smooth and beautiful.
Inside this episode you’ll get information on how to help make the baby’s transition to life outside the womb smooth and beautiful.

Have you noticed this terminology that pretty much everybody uses about birth? The doctor said I “had to”. I asked the nurse if I “could”. They wouldn’t “let me”. Do you hear that? There’s a structure here that puts “THEM” above you…..and yet it’s YOUR birth. YOU hired THEM to be there. I wanna talk to you today about how a simple change in your mindset can transform the way your birth goes.
Inside this episode, you’ll learn 3 things that are going to empower you to make strong, confident decisions around your birth. You’ll walk away knowing that you can own your birth no matter who you are!

SHOW NOTES:
Today’s episode is all about nutrition because there isn’t much you can control about pregnancy, but what you eat is one of them and we need to be making sure we do our best to give our bodies and our babies the absolute best we can so we can be healthy and strong throughout pregnancy. This information is also especially useful to moms who are trying to conceive before conception has occurred. Preconception nutrition is important because most organs are already formed by the time a mom gets a positive pregnancy test. The nutrition needs to already be on board to get optimum results.

Many of you have struggled since listening to my series on circumcision back in January with knowing how to make sense of the current circumcision situation in our country and how that relates to the Old Testament biblical mandate for circumcision. I got an email from one of my listeners that shed some new light on the topic that I think will help you, so today I'm sharing with you what she shared with me. I hope this helps you. Let me know what you think.
Previous episodes on circumcision: Episodes 65-68
Article discussed in episode
To learn about Old Testament Law vs. New Testament (including a discussion of circumcision) and how they work together, read Romans and Galatians
1 Corinthians 7:19 (NKJV): "Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters."

In today's episode, I interview Aly McClain from the Peaceful Homebirth podcast. Aly shares with us her background as a registered nurse, the story of her traumatic c-section birth with her first baby, her road to healing and recovery, and her beautiful, redeeming home birth she went on to have later. You will learn about how even those of us in the medical field can fall a victim to the lies and the cascade of interventions, but you will also learn how you can rise above it and heal for future births if you've had a birth that didn't go the way you wanted it to.

SHOW NOTES:
Are routine prenatal tests a good idea or are they simply another tool of our medicalized maternity system used to derail our birth plans and get us back in line with the standardized care they prefer? This episode will look at things like routine STD testing (specifically syphilis testing which is called RPR and TPPA), routine gestational diabetes testing, routine ultrasounds, and routine urinalysis tests which can find GBS and cause you to be called GBS positive long before birth is near. This episode will provide you will information and data to make informed decisions (informed consent or informed refusal) about your care.
