Navigating your first year of marriage can be challenging, but it’s even more challenging while also navigating your first pregnancy, along with a number of family tragedies along the way. Then finding out you’re expecting another not long after you’ve delivered your first is also filled with its own difficulty. Listen today as you hear how Carlie found a way through it all and was able to enjoy both of her birthing experiences and is now loving being a mother to two under two.

Growing up in a large family, and being married to someone who also grew up in a large family, it only seems fitting that God allows you to start on your large family right away. God is always in the details of our lives, and trusting Him in not only the timing of your pregnancy, but the location that you birth, the delivery of your baby, and everything that happens after as you care for and parent your child is what helped Luke and Leslie along their journey. Listen in today as Leslie shares this very special story of her very first birth, of many to come it sounds like!

Picture this…you choose a birth center for your delivery because you want a natural, unmedicated birth, with a hands off care provider. Then, you walk into the birth center, get checked, and the midwife panics and calls EMT’s and gives you not one, but two completely unnecessary episiotomies. What a 180 from your vision. Hear how God redeems Alex’s stories with two peaceful home births, following her first unfortunate birth center experience.

It’s hard to imagine in this day and age choosing to have a home birth, over 98% of babies in America are born outside of the home. But choosing to have a home birth for your first birth? That’s even more rare. Listen to Cayla share her birth stories today and how and why she and her husband decided that home birth was the best route for them and their babies, and how God answered her prayers during both experiences in different ways.

Picture this. You’re pregnant with your first child, figuring out and learning about everything for the first time, gearing up for a natural labor and taking care of your body the best that you can, and just before you’re about to give birth, your taste and smell change for the worse-they’re completely distorted in the worst way, making it extremely difficult to eat, which is exactly what you'll need to do after a marathon labor and while trying to nurse your new baby. You’re sleep deprived, so sore, beyond exhausted mentally, emotionally, physically, and legitimately starving, and yet you must go on for the sake of your child. This isn’t my story, though it has its similarities. This is Hannah’s story, and how she navigated having parosmia from the end of her first pregnancy, through her baby’s toddlerhood, and beyond. She’s been a source of light, encouragement and hope for me through my own journey, and I hope, even if you’ve never experienced anything like parosmia, that she can encourage you as well, because we all go through hard things, we all suffer, but we can all grow and learn from them and come out better and stronger on the other side, leaning on Jesus our savior and hanging on the truth of His word to get us there. 

Hannah's website where she has tons of parosmia resources can be found by clicking here.

You can also find Hannah on instagram, here.

A tale of two stories, Parosmia and Pregnancy, and how they affected each other. This story is a very emotional one for me. I know I forgot to mention some things and yet it’s our longest episode to date. I missed details here and there, and likely missed some feelings that would have helped add to the context of the story, but I pray the Holy Spirit speaks through my husband and I, and that He’s able to work through this very vulnerable piece. Thank you in advance for your patience and grace as I navigated telling this story in full for the first time.

Having a new baby can be overwhelming, exhausting, and just plain hard. But doing it alone can make it that much harder. Today we’re talking about the importance of having a community, in any stage of life really, but especially in motherhood. Finding a tribe of other mothers to support you, while you support them and grow in relationship with one another can be one of the best blessings you’ll ever know.

When your first birth is an induction in the hospital that turns into a postpartum hemorrhage, and your second is a lightning fast birth where you had the baby in the van on the side of the highway…you could imagine holding off on having another baby for awhile, and even then, preparing for birth in a different way. But when you're able to describe your third birth as not only peaceful, but fun, I’d say that’s a great redemption story. I was blessed to sit down with Parker and Michaela as they shared with me the journey of how their third baby came to be, and every twist and turn throughout the experience! Seriously, tune in, this one’s not only heart warming, but has it’s downright hilarious moments too!

I’m not sure I could have been more excited or more honored to have had the pleasure of interviewing my grandmother, my Granny, about her birth stories. What was it like to give birth in the 1950’s and 60’s in West Virginia? Today you’ll get to find out. Along with some other fun stories about her and my Grandpa’s relationship and past! This just might be my favorite episode yet. Ok, it will probably always be my favorite episode!
