Surrendered Birth Stories: Your Christian Birth Story Podcast

How much support you have or don’t have matters greatly in your labor and birth and can affect, well, pretty much everything. At the lack of support from her midwife, and doula, she transferred to the hospital for her first planned home birth. Thankfully, God’s grace met her there through a wonderful nurse who was able to help her through the rest of her labor. The next time around, Chloe prepared her team well. Not only did she have the constant support and encouragement from her husband, but from four other women who weren’t just physically and emotionally holding her up, but spiritually as well. Chloe attributes the success of her second birth at home to her intercessors who never doubted her or God’s plan for her for a second!

When you’ve always pictured having a home birth, but after 48 hours of labor you decide to transfer to the hospital, you think you’d be disappointed or possibly even traumatized in some way-but that’s not Poem’s story. See how she was able to keep her hands open in a posture of surrender to the Lord with every detail of her birth, and how His peace and His presence trumped anything else she was feeling, and how grateful she was to be living in His will, even if that meant not having a home birth. So much so, that she’s already ready to do it all over again!

When you’re walking into a hospital for your first birth, and don’t realize the preparations you needed to make as you’re attempting a natural birth, things can spiral quickly. But you don’t know what you don’t know. Then, as you’re preparing yourself for a repeat experience, because at least now you know what to expect, all is going well until well…it’s not, and suddenly your entire experience is tainted to the point where you don’t even want to hold your own baby. Years go by and you're convinced you're having children, never wanting to go through any of it again, until one day God tugs on your heart, because He has an entirely different experience waiting for you that He knows will strengthen your relationship with Him, and bring Him all the glory. Prepare your heart’s as Pamela shares her three birth stories today, and the powerful lessons God taught her through each of them.

Just when we think we know what we can expect from birth, God can throw us another curveball, if for nothing more than to remind us that He is in control, and that our reliance needs to be on Him and not ourselves. Amanda has four incredible birth stories for us, and four incredibly different stories at that. From a planned birth center birth to a severe preeclampsia induction to a placental abruption to a C-section to a NICU stay…and that’s all just in her first birth experience. There’s also VBAC’s, breech, twin miscarriage, home birth and what feels like everything in between wrapped up into her incredible journey. Be prepared to have your heart stirred and your faith moved!

This is part 2 and the conclusion of Amanda's story!

Trying to plan a baby around our timeline almost never works out, because God’s time is not our time, but His time is the best time. Nicki had to trust the sovereignty of God when she became pregnant not only with her husband being gone for her entire first trimester of all day nausea and vomiting, but also with her husband being deployed during the end of her pregnancy, their baby’s birth, and the first three and a half month’s of their baby's life. You will be encouraged and lifted up in your faith today as you hear Nicki tell her story and how the best place to be is in the center of God’s will!

How far would you drive to make sure that you didn’t have to birth in the hospital? One hour? Two hours? Well, you’ll hear today that Lori drove five hours to ensure she could have her baby the way that she wanted to, and the way that God designed her to. Once a medically minded labor and delivery nurse, inducing women at the hospital every night, Lori was changed after going through her doula certification, and ended up becoming a certified nurse midwife who attends home births. Hear all about how God has designed our bodies to give birth, and how stepping into the hospital system can often disrupt and reroute that design.

Time after time after time after time, Melissa had fallen prey to the hands of the hospital system in Canada, and their complete over management of the birthing process, as well as their complete lack of humanity when it comes to such a sacred event. Then, thinking having a home birth with midwives would be worlds better, she was still left fighting for herself every step of the way through her pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Then, she experienced a series of losses that nobody should have to bare, and instead of getting the sympathy and respect she more than deserved, she was simply seen as a case to be handled and a box to be checked, when she was going through one of the most gut wrenching experiences of her life. Finally, for her eighth live birth, she desired to have the empowered, faith led, free birth of her dreams, if only God would allow it.

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!
