  • 102: The Incredible 1-Hour Labor (with Erin Hamrick) [Precipitous Labor, IGT, Accidental Free Birth]

    When your first labor is faster than lightning, what can you expect for your second? Well, apparently the same! Erin goes against the norm with her birth stories as you’ll hear today. She only full realized she was in labor for about fifteen minutes before she was holding her baby in her arms. She was physically alone, other than her toddler who was right next to her, but God had fully prepared her for this situation and was right there alongside her. And thankfully, help was right outside, not that she needed it. Hear how God weaved Erin’s birth story together in this unlikely series of events!

  • 101: Trusting That God Is Writing Your Story (with Mary Kathryn Long) [Postpartum Hemorrhage, Postpartum Depression, Miscarriage]

    We’re told first labors can be long, and on average, the first labor left undisturbed is roughly 25 hours long, but can you mentally prepare yourself for a 70 hour labor? That was Mary Kathryn’s experience, and I know it’s been the experience of many other first time moms out there. Making sure you have a solid care team around you from your husband to your doula to your midwife can make such a huge difference in your experiences as Mary Kathryn found out in her second and third labors (that thankfully were NOT 70 hours long). Join us today as she recounts her three birth stories, and the little answered prayers God gave her and her husband along the way!

  • 099: Holding Fast To The Holy Spirit When Nothing Goes According to Plan (with Cre'Elle Campa) [Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, EDS Pregnancy, Emergency C-Section]

    When you’re told you need to be done having kids by the time you're 25, that can feel like a lot of pressure, especially when you haven’t even gotten married yet, but trusting God and His plans always surpasses trusting in the world. On top of that, when your experience in pregnancy and birth doesn’t go anything like you had planned, prepared for, hoped or prayed for, it can seem like your world is toppling, but perspective makes a huge difference in how we interpret what plays out in pregnancy and birth. Listen to CreElle as she explains how God had a different plan that she did, and how the Holy Spirit led the way.

  • 098: Unexpected Turns and Unshakable Faith (with Matalin Russell) [Honeymoon Baby, Natural Birth, Birth Center to Hospital]

    Not many couples these days aim to get pregnant as soon as possible after marriage, but Matalin and Shane aren’t your average couple. With the understanding that children are blessings from God and wanting to have many of them, they were blessed to conceive on their honeymoon and start their family immediately. While that part of their plan worked out, the birth is a slightly different story. Be inspired by Mattie’s perseverance through some hard curveballs in labor, and how, despite things being changed on her last minute, she and her husband were able to push through and have the natural birth that they desired!

  • 097: Not Your Average First-Time Birth Experience (with Mary Thackerson) [Surprise Pregnancy, Failed Birth Control, Home Birth]

    When you have a copper IUD in place, you don’t expect to get a positive pregnancy test. But, at 16 weeks along, that’s just what happened for Mary and her husband! The surprise you must feel at news like that, being told you’re four months pregnant, but also the peace you can feel knowing it was obviously God ordained! And then God blessed her with an easy pregnancy and delivery as well! Not every first-time mom births in a hospital, not every first-time mom goes way past her due date, not every first-time mom has a marathon labor, not every first-time mom struggles postpartum or with breastfeeding, and Mary was not your average first-time mom! Be encouraged by the grace and mercy in her story today and the love of our heavenly Father.

  • 096: Don't Miss The Miracles! (with Cayla and Joel Krop) [Water Birth, Home Birth, Natural Birth]

    When your first two birth experiences are filled with lots of prodromal labor and a very slow going dilation process, you should expect the same for your third, right? Wrong! Often third babies are called “wild cards” for a reason, they typically are different from your first couple of times, and that was very much the case this time for Cayla. Hear her and Joel recount the birth story of their third born, and every twist and turn along the way, and how they were able to see God’s miracle working power through it all, even into postpartum when their son came down with a staph infection. Tune in to hear both of their perspectives on what it’s like being parents to three precious littles ones!

    When you’ve had three medicated births that all went more or less smoothly, why on earth would you decide on an unmedicated birth for your fourth? Today Kelsie will share with us her four birth stories, all of which have lessons of their own, but she was amazed to see the difference having an unmedicated birth had in not only her reliance on the Lord, but on her relationship with her husband, and how well she felt physically after the birth. Listen in to hear all about her experiences and the advice and encouragement she has for other expecting moms and dads to be!
