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

EP 24 \ REAL Prenatal Nutrition & Preconception Nutrition from REAL Bread - An Interview with Sue Becker - Part 2

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 part 2 of a 3-part series.
 
[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!!]

EP 22 \ The Building Blocks Of You And Your Baby - A New Way Of Looking At Preconception Nutrition, Prenatal Nutrition, and Postpartum Breastfeeding Nutrition

Your body and your baby's body are made from the food you feed yourself.  If you are feeding your body empty nutrition through junk food and thinking that you can make up for it with artificial, synthetic prenatal vitamins, you will miss the mark of giving yourself God's best.  The best nutrition comes from real, whole foods that God gave us to nourish us.  Today we'll start to dig into ways you can optimize your nutrition naturally with the foods God has given us.  This is not an episode about what vitamins to take, but rather what foods to eat.  This episode will lead into a big episode next week which will look at a simple change that just might change your family's entire health picture.

EP 20 \ The Cascade Of Interventions - Reason #1 To Avoid An Unnecessary Induction

Cervical ripening.  Cytotec.  Cervadil.  Foley bulb.  Pitocin.  Epidural.  More Pitocin.  Decelerations.  Fetal distress.  C-section.  Sound scary?  Well, there are some very real, tangible trends in modern American maternity care that anyone who's being honest will acknowledge.  One is known to many as the "Cascade of Interventions" and that list of things at the beginning includes a lot of the possible elements of this cascade.  Think of it as the snowball effect.  Once it starts, it's hard to stop.  Today I wanna talk to you about it in a little bit different format than usual to help you understand why you want to avoid it if at all possible.  Spoiler alert -- avoiding an unnecessary induction is the biggest thing you can do to stay off of this roller coaster.

EP 19 \ The Illusion of Control - Putting Faith In God KNOWING There is NOTHING You Can ACTUALLY Do

The time of pregnancy can bring on more fear for mamas than most any other time.  All the "what ifs" flood in and if you're not careful, you'll drown in them.  In every other area, we women tend to just get about the business of getting it done because if we don't, it won't get done.  But this is one area that thinking we can "make" something happen is an illusion.  Today we're going to talk about how we can break from this need to make it happen and draw nearer to God.  He made us, He made our babies, He knows what we need better than we know ourselves, so we're going to figure out how to place real faith in that, not just lip service.  There is nothing we can do to add so much as one single cell to our baby's body, so why do we think it's up to us?  And why does the maternity system think it is up to them?  It is up to God and God alone -- and He is well able to handle that responsibility beyond all our comprehension.  We would not be able to form a single baby together that lived and breathed -- and yet He is forming EVERY baby simultaneously who is in utero now, and He has formed all those who have come before.  We must let go of the illusion of control and put our faith in God.

EP 17 \ Trust Your God-Given Instincts! How To Know Your Baby’s Position WITHOUT An Ultrasound In The Third Trimester

Have you ever had a provider feel around on your belly to find your baby's position?  I hope you have, but you might not have in today's world where we rely way too much on technology and not enough on our own hands and brains.  What they're doing is called Leopold's Maneuver which helps them determine position and also gives them an idea of where it will be easiest to hear the baby's heart.  They've been trained to do this, but guess what -- you can know your baby's position too without training because you are mama and God gave you knowledge and instincts.  You don't need any fancy equipment.  You don't need someone else to tell you if your baby's head is down.  You don't need to pay hundreds of dollars to get an ultrasound.  You just need a little time.  Today I'm gonna teach you how to do what some call belly mapping, but I call it trusting your instincts because YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY whether you realize it or not.

EP 16 \ You Wanna Check My WHAT? What Are Cervical Checks And Should You Have Them?

If you are being seen by a traditional provider, when you start getting into the 3rd trimester, you are likely going to start having them mention checking your cervix (and hopefully they'll ask first).  Today we'll talk about whether you should consent to letting your OBGYN or midwife check your cervix and if so when should you consent.

EP 15 \ Is Your Baby Overdue? How To Deal With The Pressure Of Being Told Your Baby Is Late

Once upon a time, you found out you were pregnant and all anybody wanted to know was "when are you due??"  And you probably had some date to give them and maybe you circled it on your calendar.  Well...when that date gets close and nothing's happening, or maybe it's even in your rear view mirror now, that little date is no longer a point of excitement but a point of stress.  So what do you do when everybody and their mama is wanting to know how come you haven't had your baby yet?  Is your baby overdue, or "postdates" as they like to call it?  Are you broken?  Let's find out.

EP 14 \ Top 4 Reasons Moms Quit Breastfeeding (And How You Can Overcome Them)

Around 80% of moms in America report that they intend to breastfeed, but less than 25% actually nurse their babies as long as they plan to.  So clearly something is going wrong to cause them to quit before they are ready to quit.  Inside this episode, we'll look at the top 4 reasons moms report as the reasons they quit breastfeeding, but we won't stop there because I want YOU to succeed!  We'll also dig into some ways to overcome the obstacles that got in their way so that you can have a different outcome.

EP 13 \ My Baby Is Here And I Should Be Happy....So Why Am I CRYING?

If you've had a baby before, you are probably very familiar with the question in the title of this episode....WHY am I crying??? I'm supposed to be happy!  If this is you, I'm glad you're here so you can know you're normal and if you have more babies, you'll be ready.  If you haven't had a baby before, I'm so glad you're here because you need to know this ahead of time -- AND you need to talk to your husband and family about it.  Baby blues and postpartum depression are very real things and a majority of women deal with one or the other, and yet nobody seems to be talking about it so most moms feel like they are alone to suffer. Today I want to talk to you about what causes this, what's going on while it's happening, and hopefully, help you navigate it -- and I'll help you understand when it crosses over into being abnormal.  Grab a pen and notebook because you're going to want to remember what we talk about today.

EP 12 \ Tired Of Being Pushed Around? 4 Things To Do When Your Provider Says You HAVE TO Do Something

It's so hard to know what to do when you have a provider telling you that you "have to" do something and you really don't want to do it.  What if you say no and something bad happens?  What if you say yes and it wasn't needed and it leads to other things that could be harmful that wouldn't have happened if you'd stuck to your guns?  It's overwhelming and intimidating so today I'm going to give you 3 ways to do when your provider tells you that you "have to" do something so we can try to eliminate fear and think clearly and rationally about what we're going to choose.  This will mainly impact hospital births since home and birth center providers tend to be believers in informed consent rather than intimidation, but that's not 100% the case so everyone could stand to benefit from what I'm gonna share today.

EP 8 \ Do You Need To Set Some Healthy BOUNDARIES To Have A Safe Space For God’s Best In Your Pregnancy and Birth! These Are The RULES - Part 2

No matter what we do, no matter what we say, no matter how right we may be, there will ALWAYS be naysayers who will do all they can to discourage us.  The enemy is ever-present and we must always be on guard.  After reading a great book called "The Energy Bus" by Jon Gordon, I decided we needed some rules for this podcast and for our pregnancies and births.  We need to invite those who support us on our bus, and kindly ask those who aren't on board with our place to find another bus that is more fitting for them.  It's not about being mean.  It's about having peace and joy during this special, fleeting time.   This is part two of a two-part series.
