Want to learn more about surrender? Can you really pivot late in the game and switch to homebirth?  Can you have a homebirth after having 2 c-sections?

I talked to Audrey Stinson today about her story of having 2 c-sections and switching to a homebirth midwife at 33 weeks, decision making, how to surrender our birth desires to Jesus and how that’s different then “going with the flow”. We talk about how to fire a provider and give you permission to pivot to follow the dreams that the Lord has put on your heart. This episode is so so good and I know that there is a special message specifically for someone out there. I believe this will be the confirmation someone needs to just say YES to the dream God has put on her heart to homebirth no matter how crazy it may seem at the moment. We can plan our ways but the Lord will establish our steps. Amen! 

Listen to Part 1 and Part 2 will follow soon!

Audrey went to Texas Tech University and has a Bachelor's Science in Nursing. She is a self proclaimed former scorner of homebirth turned #1 hype girl. She’s loves Jesus and it is apparent in this episode that everything she does is to bring Him glory. She’s a wife, homemaking homeschooling mama to 4! Her wisdom is apparent in this episode and I know you’re going to love our conversation just as much as I did!

You hear about physiological birth but do you really KNOW what it is that makes birth physiological? Have you ever wondered, "How does the baby know when to be born?" "How can I have a pain-free and peaceful birth?" "How do I bond with my baby?"

Well friends... it all comes down to the hormonal cascade. Dr. Sarah has done a lot of research and really has dived into what physiological birth is an how to facilitate it. After having 4 home births herself and years of research she comes on the show to share her expertise and knowledge about hormones in labor and birth.

About Dr. Sarah Buckley:

Sarah Buckley is trained as a GP/family physician with qualifications in GP-obstetrics and family planning. She is the mother of four home-born children and lives in Brisbane, Australia, where she is a PhD candidate as well as writing and lecturing on pregnancy, birth, and parenting. 

Dr Buckley’s work critiques current practices in pregnancy, birth, and parenting from the widest possible perspectives, including scientific, anthropological, cross-cultural, psychological, and personal. She encourages us to be fully informed in our decision-making; to listen to our hearts and our intuition; and to claim our rightful role as the real experts in our bodies and our children.

She is also a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland,, where her research is focused on oxytocin in labour and birth and the impacts of interventions. See her professional, peer-reviewed publications as part of her PhD here

Her bestselling book Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: A Doctor’s Guide to Natural Childbirth and Gentle Early Parenting Choices, published by Celestial Arts/PenguinRandomHouse (US, 2009), builds on her acclaimed first edition, published in Australia as Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering: The Wisdom and Science of Gentle Choices in Pregnancy, Birth, and Parenting (One Moon Press, Brisbane, 2005, available as ebook here ).

Dr Buckley has an ongoing interest in the hormones of labour and birth, and this has culminated in her groundbreaking report Hormonal Physiology of Childbearing (2015 Childbirth Connection, a program of the National Partnership for Women and Families). This report, available for free online,  has been described as “…one of the most revolutionary and influential publications on maternity and newborn care ever issued.”

TRIGGER WARNING: If you've experienced birth trauma that has been unprocessed this episode may be too much for you! Listen at your own risk.

ABC News just released a clip about maternal injustice happening in the hospital setting during birth. It was a sobering clip and one that I am thrilled is being put out there.. FINALLY!

Gaslighting is getting old and mainstream is now allowing women the right to be heard and share their stories. This is powerful and it's a major shift. The awakening is happening!

Nearly 6 years ago I was deep into preparation for my first homebirth after cesarean (HBAC). After I had my second daughter in a euphoric, orgasmic birth I sat the Lord how I can turn the pain I had felt into purpose, "How was I able to have a homebirth after being told my pelvis was too small?" 

He gave me a download of the 3 steps He graciously took me through while I was planning and preparing for a homebirth:

1. Dreaming and Deciding
