Having your first two babies at 39 weeks doesn’t mean all of your babies will come at 39 weeks. Having a beautiful, peaceful, smooth and quick natural home birth once, doesn’t guarantee that you’ll have that every time. Our expectations leading into birth and during birth have such an impact on our experiences. Jennifer learned this first hand as she had three natural births, one at the hospital and two at home, but three very different experiences. Listen and learn how surrendering her plans...

As a first time mom, sometimes you just don’t know what you don’t know. And Emilie didn’t know she was being induced, or why. But that wasn’t all. She also got the one doctor she definitely didn’t want, and what he said during her labor will shock you (or maybe not, if you’re familiar with how some surgically minded OB’s can be). Then, as she was planning her peaceful second birth at home, everything changed last minute, and not only did she end up moving multiple states away, but tragedy str...

When you hire a midwife you expect to get more holistic care than when you hire an OB/GYN, but when your midwife is part of a hospital medical system, that’s not always the case. So next time you hire a midwife at a birth center, but even then, you’re still handing your care and responsibility over to another system that may or may not have your best interest at heart. So what do you do after two traumatic birth experiences at the hands of others? You have a wild pregnancy and a free birth, b...

When you feel like you're walking closely with the Lord and get pregnant outside of marriage, He can use that to bring you even closer to Him. Every child is a blessing and comes at the will of the Lord, and every pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum can be used to teach us so many things from God.

Hindsight is always 20/20, and we are blessed that God allows us to learn things through our experiences to help make changes for the better next time. Even though there are some things that Natasha would choose to do differently in her next birth experience, God was right there with her through her entire journey and gave her the peace that comes with His presence.

A last minute 66 hour induction at 37 weeks is not exactly what John and Jeni had planned for their daughter’s birth, but their naïvety of being young, first-time parents got the better of them.

Were you ever unsatisfied with the care you were receiving during your pregnancy? Did it give you pause when it came to thinking about how the labor would go? Did you think, well, next time I’ll do it differently and switch providers but I’m too far in this time, it’s too late. Why wait for next time? What if there isn't a next time?

Going into your first pregnancy, you make a plan, you have a vision, you have a prayer…but then what do you do when it all comes crashing down? At 34 weeks pregnant, Rebekkah’s world changed forever. She went from having a routine ultrasound appointment to having a C-section in less than 12 hours, as her life depended on it. What came afterward was an extended NICU stay for her son, during part of which she was restricted from seeing him, and later on, some undiagnosed delays he was experienc...
