Have you ever tried to do something alone, when you knew God designed you to do it in community? Christine was looking for like-minded friends during her third pregnancy that she could be in deep relationship with, and God answered her prayers. So much so, He even gave her a doula through one of those friends, and thank Him that He did, for she was the calming presence Christine would need during her overwhelmingly fast, precipitous birth. She’s already said after this experience she would de...

When you've been trying to conceive for months, and then you finally do, you think you’d be grateful for every part of pregnancy. But that’s rarely the case for a mom with Hyperemisis Gravardarium, also known as HG. When HG hit hard for Alexandria, not only did she lose a massive amount of weight in a short amount of time, but she lost her faith too. If God was a good God, why didn’t He take this thorn from her side? To top it all off as she prayed for a girl but she found out it was a boy, s...

When your first labor is faster than lightning, what can you expect for your second? Well, apparently the same! Erin goes against the norm with her birth stories as you’ll hear today. She only full realized she was in labor for about fifteen minutes before she was holding her baby in her arms. She was physically alone, other than her toddler who was right next to her, but God had fully prepared her for this situation and was right there alongside her. And thankfully, help was right outside, n...

We’re told first labors can be long, and on average, the first labor left undisturbed is roughly 25 hours long, but can you mentally prepare yourself for a 70 hour labor? That was Mary Kathryn’s experience, and I know it’s been the experience of many other first time moms out there. Making sure you have a solid care team around you from your husband to your doula to your midwife can make such a huge difference in your experiences as Mary Kathryn found out in her second and third labors (that ...

When you’re told you need to be done having kids by the time you're 25, that can feel like a lot of pressure, especially when you haven’t even gotten married yet, but trusting God and His plans always surpasses trusting in the world. On top of that, when your experience in pregnancy and birth doesn’t go anything like you had planned, prepared for, hoped or prayed for, it can seem like your world is toppling, but perspective makes a huge difference in how we interpret what plays out in pregnan...

When your first two birth experiences are filled with lots of prodromal labor and a very slow going dilation process, you should expect the same for your third, right? Wrong! Often third babies are called “wild cards” for a reason, they typically are different from your first couple of times, and that was very much the case this time for Cayla. Hear her and Joel recount the birth story of their third born, and every twist and turn along the way, and how they were able to see God’s miracle wor...

When you’ve had three medicated births that all went more or less smoothly, why on earth would you decide on an unmedicated birth for your fourth? Today Kelsie will share with us her four birth stories, all of which have lessons of their own, but she was amazed to see the difference having an unmedicated birth had in not only her reliance on the Lord, but on her relationship with her husband, and how well she felt physically after the birth.

Society says to wait to have children until after you’ve been married for awhile…but what does God say? When Amanda and Desert asked God what His will was for their family, He quickly placed twins in Amanda’s womb. And oh what a journey it would be! Amanda knew she wanted to have a vaginal and unmedicated birth, just like God had designed her body to, but she had to fight with her doctor from her first appointment all the way through hard labor and pushing her babies out in the OR.

Kelsey and her husband had planned on fostering and adopting to grow their family, but after God told her to give up control, they became pregnant quickly. And after each baby, Kelsey would have been done, but God’s plans reign supreme.

Going into your first labor and delivery, when all of the women around you have had vaginal births, it’s easy to assume that you will too. But when Joselyn and her husband were told to have an induction for borderline low amniotic fluid levels, they did not imagine it would end in a C-section. For her second baby, learning that she was a great candidate for a VBAC, she switched practices and prepared in every way that she could to ensure a successful VBAC experience, and after a manual induct...

But God’s voice is what matters. And God’s plan is what triumph’s. And God’s word is what gets you through.

Kelsey and Jesse were blessed to get pregnant right away…although if Jesse had it his way they would have had a honeymoon baby! Then, working in an office of midwives, Kelsey was able to get her first time pregnancy questions answered daily, and in person. When the time came to give birth though, she was left feeling a little underprepared for the unmedicated birth she had hoped to have. Throw in an extremely strong epidural, a panic attack, and the dreaded pitocin and things just didn’t go a...

Most first time moms can expect two things: first, to go way past their due date, and second, to have a long marathon of a labor. For Morgan, however, this was not the case! When Morgan woke up near her due date with cramping, she didn’t expect to be holding her baby just a few hours later! Sounds like a dream to most moms who spend hours and days laboring, but a precipitous labor has its downsides too. Thankfully, God was watching over her every step of the way, from before conception throug...

When you got the natural, unmedicated, intervention-free birth you were going for, with a smooth and relatively quick labor, what could go wrong? Well, when your baby is taken from you within seconds of being born, a lot. Tasha’s first birth took a wrong turn when her baby was quite unnecessarily taken to the NICU after birth and she lost not only that golden hour, but breastfeeding initiation, skin to skin and more. All of this played a huge role into her difficult postpartum where postpartu...
