Virginia's first experience at her OB's office did not go well, and later on when she felt led to have a water birth, she found out that her provider didn't offer that and switched providers. Being a first-time mom, she was more-or-less tricked into an induction at 39 weeks. While it overall went smoothly, she learned a lot about what she did and didn't want for her next birth. When she got pregnant with her rainbow baby after a devastating miscarriage between her two sons, God told her she was supposed to give birth at the birth center. While her pregnancy was an emotional journey she wouldn't ever want to re-live, she was granted the gift of her son and a beautiful birth that you will want to hear all about!

Everything can seem like it’s going perfectly when you get pregnant quickly, are having no complications and feel well, but for Sidney and her husband, everything changed at her anatomy scan. Getting diagnosed with a severe heart condition for her son in utero turned her world upside down, and would play a major role into how her birth would unfold, as well as how her postpartum and life in general would go following his delivery. A few years later after life had gotten into a groove, they would welcome their baby girl, but with a bit of an unexpected twist from God.

Some pregnancies are easy, and some are hard, but we have to trust God through both types of experiences. Some labors are longer and some are shorter, but again, we have to trust God through it all. Sometimes we think we’re in control and have a plan, but we have to learn to surrender to God’s plan in order for our trust in Him to be real. This puts our faith from thoughts to actions, and ultimately, gives us His supernatural peace that only comes through that surrender.

Poor Katelyn had to deal with endless contractions for days on end for weeks at a time, always wondering is this really it? Am I actually in labor now? It’s a total mind game, and brings you to a place of complete surrender to God. Hear how the rest of Katelyn’s labor went when it actually did start, and why a few hours after birth, she was already ready to do it again!

In the United States today, about ⅓ of all births are induced, and about ⅓ of all births end in C-Sections. And while inductions aren’t responsible for all of those C-Sections, I’d argue they’re responsible, at least indirectly, for about half of them. Today we deep dive into the world of inductions-what are they? How are they done? Why are they done? And why shouldn’t they be done? Is there anything you can do to prevent having an induction? Is there anything you can do to induce naturally if you’re trying to avoid a medical induction? All of this and more on today’s solo episode on labor induction.

It can be so incredibly difficult to understand God’s timing. He can see and understand so much more than we’ll ever be able to, and living in His will is truly the best place for us all, but will we trust Him in the waiting? Hear how Ashley and her husband had to do that as they patiently waited for God to give them their two babies, who were born over a decade a part.

The key to getting through a long early labor is distraction and rest! Unfortunately, Rachel, along with most first time moms, was too excited to do either of these things, and her focus on her already long labor made it feel like it was lasting an eternity. Thankfully she learned a thing or two between her two births, and her second experience was much swifter and more empowering, even though it was just as intense. Our focus makes a world of a difference in our labors, as well as where our trust lies. Hear today how Rachel was about to put her trust in God, and how it impacted each of her experiences.

Jaylynn was dealt some hard cards in this broken world, but her faith is in God and she knows how the story ends. As she planned her first birth, a home birth, those plans came crashing down when she was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia and had to immediately be induced at the hospital, with a two week NICU stay for her son. Then, when she gets a beautiful birth for her second, she had to say goodbye to him all too soon to be reunited with him again one day in Heaven. Finally, as she’s expecting her third baby, all of the fear comes rushing back as she gets pre-eclampsia again and doesn’t know if she’ll have the strength to push through, but God does. This heart wrenching story will have you up and down and back up again, so grab the tissues and prepare your hearts to be moved in faith.
