After having her first two babies in Tennessee, where home birth was more affordable, Lycie and her husband had since moved out to northern California where midwifery was not only way more expensive, but the midwives were also not in line with her faith in Jesus. This led her to feeling obligated to plan a hospital birth, something she never dreamed of doing! But this time around she was committed to surrendering all of her birth plans to God, and she was pleasantly surprised that by putting ...
When you grow up with a midwife as your mother, and you and your siblings were all born at home, planning a home birth for your first doesn’t seem strange at all. And it wasn’t for Lycie and her husband. While it was long, all was going well until the midwife realized how badly she had torn, and felt better about sending her to the hospital for her repair. That’s where the trauma started, the moment they called 911. From the EMT staff to the nursing staff to the OB staff, she was met with unp...
So you just had a home birth...what do you do next? If it isn't obvious already, home birth is starkly and vastly different than a hospital or birth center birth. But is it any different immediately following the birth? In today's topical episode, Kayla discusses the following topics regarding home birth: - What to do when the birth is over - The legality of home birth (Is home birth legal?) - Providing proof of pregnancy - Processes for getting birth certificates and social security ca...
The twists and turns that can take place in our lives as God leads us from one season to another are astounding. From leaving religious cults, and trying to find healing through other churches that then turn around and treat you similarly, even though they’re supposed to be different, that in and of itself is incredibly difficult, especially as you’re trying to seek a deeper relationship with the Lord, but add several pregnancies and children into the mix, and the emotions just get deeper. Th...
How do you react when you never planned on having children of your own, never planned on having the title “mom” or “dad” but then the Lord changes those plans drastically…and little did you know you’d gain three daughters in a 24-hour period? The message here is that God is good, His plans are better than ours, and that we’re able to more fully realize His goodness and mercies when things don’t go according to our original plans. Join us today as we hear Bess’ story of becoming a mother, thro...
What do you do when God is telling you one thing, but the doctors and medical system are telling you the opposite? This is a theme that came up for Amanda from before she got pregnant all the way through the births of her six children. The lesson? God’s word trumps man’s word every single time! Listen to this incredible story of fear conquered by faith as Amanda miraculously has her first vaginal birth after five previous C-Sections. Thought that was impossible? Think again! Send us a text! S...
When you have a 56 hour labor, that results in a transfer from home to hospital, you would assume all of the trauma from your birth experience is wrapped up in that, right? Not for Nikki, her trauma came about during early postpartum with everything from an IGT diagnosis, to an aspirating baby to an undiagnosed retained placenta that led to a hemorrhage at three and a half weeks postpartum. After all of that, it would take some time and healing before attempting to birth again, and then when ...

While I am on a little maternity leave from the podcast, we are replaying all five of my children's birth stories, and we'll end by releasing our newest baby's birth story. In this first birth, you'll learn that I was young and ignorant to all things birth. I had a lot to learn, but God led the way! And I would learn even more in the year following my daughter's birth and would start my journey into birth work. To read more details of this story and see pictures, CLICK HERE!!! Send us a...
When your first labor is 24 hours long, starts with your water breaking and a positive GBS test and you spend the entire thing in the hospital, what can you expect for your second birth? Well, for Ashleigh, it was basically the exact opposite of that! During her second labor she experiences two days of a start/stop early labor and doesn’t know when it will ever actually kick into gear-but when it does, she had less than an hour’s notice before she’d be holding her baby in her arms! And I’ll g...

What happens when you’re planning a natural, unmedicated birth at a birth center, and then one little leak of your waters changes everything? E.J.’s plans were turned upside down when she was suddenly being induced, quite unsuccessfully, and then in the end landed in a C-Section under general anesthesia. What she didn’t know at the time is that she would go on to have four more C-sections, and a second and very unexpected miscarriage. Where was God in all of this? How was He working through a...
When you find out you’re pregnant and you’ve never had more joy, faith, or closeness with God in your entire life, you’re on the mountain top! Then the enemy takes that baby away from you, and everything comes crashing down-how can you recover from such a tragedy? When Madison and Trevor become pregnant for the second time, they were understandably anxious and unable to celebrate in the way that they did with their first, never knowing if this baby was going to go to Heaven too soon too. Ques...

Amazingly, Matthew and Monika went on to have their second child relatively quickly after she was finally healed from her first, and again had another smooth pregnancy. But all of her plans would come crashing down as her due date approached, and it seemed as if all of her hopes and dreams were slipping out of her hands. Her biggest fear was tearing again…and for good reason! Tune in today to find out what happens and how birth number two (and postpartum number two) ultimately unfolded! Send ...
When you have a relatively smooth pregnancy, and a spontaneous, quick, uncomplicated and unmedicated birth at 39 weeks, you seem to have won the pregnancy and childbirth lottery, right? That’s what Matthew and Monika thought as well until she hit postpartum. And it wasn’t postpartum depression that took her out. It was the tear she endured during delivery that was unable to heal. For six months Monika had to return to her doctor every few weeks for more painful procedures and eventually surge...
