In this episode, the Surrender Birth team calls Christian couples to view pregnancy and postpartum care as an act of biblical stewardship. They name the two common ditches, indulging cravings under the banner of “eating for two” and idolizing the physique, and point to a faithful middle shaped by gratitude and self-control. The conversation offers simple, realistic practices, prioritize protein, build basic strength, choose walks, and keep meals uncomplicated, like eggs. Husbands are urged to lead with humble service, support nutrition and hydration, and protect shared rhythms. The aim is not perfection but obedience to God’s design, trusting Him to use ordinary faithfulness to prepare a mother’s body for birth and the season that follows.
