1:10:44

When your first labor is 24 hours long, starts with your water breaking and a positive GBS test and you spend the entire thing in the hospital, what can you expect for your second birth?

What happens when you’re planning a natural, unmedicated birth at a birth center, and then one little leak of your waters changes everything? E.J.’s plans were turned upside down when she was suddenly being induced, quite unsuccessfully, and then in the end landed in a C-Section under general anesthesia.

1:15:55

Amazingly, Matthew and Monika went on to have their second child relatively quickly after she was finally healed from her first, and again had another smooth pregnancy. But all of her plans would come crashing down as her due date approached, and it seemed as if all of her hopes and dreams were slipping out of her hands. Her biggest fear was tearin…

When you have a relatively smooth pregnancy, and a spontaneous, quick, uncomplicated and unmedicated birth at 39 weeks, you seem to have won the pregnancy and childbirth lottery, right? That’s what Matthew and Monika thought as well until she hit postpartum. And it wasn’t postpartum depression that took her out. It was the tear she endured during d…

111 I The Beautiful Simplicity of A Planned Free Birth (with Katelyn Morgan) [Home Birth, Water Birth, Wild Pregnancy] 42:55

3M ago42:55

42:55

Wild pregnancy...free birth... Are you familiar with those terms? While Katelyn had a home birth for her first, she went one step further and planned a free birth for her second. Unlike some moms, she’s not married to the idea, and it’s not a hill for her to die on, and if at any point she felt the need for assistance, she would have some, but as s…

3M ago1:49:55

1:49:55

For her second birth, Miriam realized the amount of support she truly needed, and that instead of isolating herself, surrounding herself with like minded women was what she needed in order to be able to fully surrender to the Lord and lean on Him through the process of an unmedicated home birth. And what an incredible difference that would make in …

3M ago1:35:09

1:35:09

I’ve heard of many moms who plan an unmediated hospital birth for their first, and then some who even plan a birth center birth for their first, and then the handful of moms who plan a home birth for their first, but it’s rare I find somebody who plans a free birth for their first. While Miriam’s heart started in the right place, as the planned fre…

51:46

For your first birth, you end up having an elective induction that goes relatively smoothly with a very strong epidural and no major complications, other than a huge headache that was able to be resolved, albeit in a strange manner. Why then, would you choose to do it differently the next time? For Emma, she was blessed to be able to experience a p…

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.

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 husban…

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.

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!

When you’ve given birth to several children, most of them painlessly, but then your last child’s birth didn’t go as planned, that unexpected turn of events along with the voices from the outside world can make you contemplate being finished having children.

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 …

Just when we think we know what we can expect from birth, God can throw us another curveball, if for nothing more than to remind us that He is in control, and that our reliance needs to be on Him and not ourselves. Amanda has four incredible birth stories for us, and four incredibly different stories at that. From a planned birth center birth to a …
