Katie Ferguson, with Open Heart Doula, joins Brettnay on this episode. Katie was instrumental in Simeon and Brettnay's beautiful homebirth experience with their third baby. God used her in many ways, but the most life-changing for Brettnay was having Katie open her eyes to the realization that birth doesn't have to look one way. You have options, and you get to make the choice of what is best for you and baby.

Listen in as Katie answers questions like. . .

-What is a doula?

-How are they an important part of the birth team?

-Is a doula only for natural, homebirths?

Brettnay and Katie transition into talking about the beauty that is found in birth. The experiences Katie has had from being at over 80 births has given her a deep appreciation for a woman's body, the birth process, and God as Creator. Whether your best birth looks just like Brettnay and Katie's, or something completely different, God desires to reveal Himself to you in a deeper way as you lean on His strength and as you mirror the character of the Life-Giver.
