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.

Shoving a stack of papers in your face and asking you to sign on the dotted line is NOT informed consent, but that is what takes place on nearly every labor and delivery floor in every hospital in America. Informed consent is about so much more than just signing a form. This episode digs into what informed consent is and how to get it when it's not being offered to you up front.

It's Christmas time (again?!?!) and with that comes time around family and people you might not normally see. Something about you being pregnant means people love to tell you all about their horror stories from their pregnancies. They'll tell you they didn't dilate or that they tried to give birth naturally but couldn't or how they would've died if they weren't at the hospital or how they wanted to breastfeed but didn't make enough milk. So so so many things and so so so many negative stories. Inside today's episode, we'll talk about how to avoid the negativity and fear that can creep in with all the onslaught of comments during the holidays.

So many of you have worked so hard to prepare for the labor and birth you want to have so you can work with God's design to do things the right way. You have your beautiful birth....but then you have a new baby in your arms and the doctor says something isn't quite as it should be with your baby.....NOW WHAT? Is it really wrong? Do you need to do something? If you do, are you setting yourself up for a long cascade of testing and interventions? If you don't are you endangering your baby? How do you know what to do? Let's talk about it today.

So you tell your doctor that you want to decline something they routinely recommend and they ask you for a study to back up why you're making that choice. Here's my question -- since when do we need a study to back up sticking with what's normal?? God made women to give birth uninterrupted and without intervention. That is the way it has been since the beginning of time. Rather than require us to present some study to support our decision to do the way things have been done since the beginning, why don't they present a study justifying why it is OK to depart from normal? Studies often carry all kinds of bias and conflicts of interest. You have to be very skilled and have a lot of time on your hands to weed through the details of studies to see if they are even worth the paper they're printed on. Yet we have thousands of years of evidence supported by the evidence of God's design to back up doing things His way. Today we're going to talk about that.
