Birth Philosophies: Their Differences & Limitations


Listen Later

In this episode, Abby and Dani discuss three common birth philosophies often seen in our culture: the technocratic, holistic, and humanistic models of care. While each carries its own assumptions and practices, none of them begin with God’s design for birth. Christian couples are reminded that the foundation must be biblical principles, not cultural philosophies. From there, methods such as hospital, home, or natural birth can be approached with wisdom and prayer. Need help walking through the first couple of weeks of pregnancy? Before
