  • サマリー

  • Do you believe that God wants to be involved in all your life’s decisions, but aren’t exactly sure how to apply that to your pregnancy & birth prep? Have you already had a highly medicalized birth and now wonder if there’s a more peace-filled, empowering way to welcome future children into the world? Are you considering a more natural approach to birth but aren’t sure if it’s the right path for you? Are you SO ready to start feeling confident, at peace and even excited about partnering with God to bring new life into the world? In this podcast, you’ll discover God’s beautiful design for labor & delivery, gain confidence in your birth decisions, hear uplifting birth stories from Christian women who have gone before & be regularly reminded to keep Jesus at the center of it all so you can feel prepared (and even EXCITED!) to embrace the faith-deepening experience of physiological labor WITH God & for His glory. Hey, I’m Audrey! Bible-believing Christian, wife, former RN & mom of four—two born via C-section and two delivered at home. With my first two deliveries, I lacked sufficient education about how a woman’s & baby’s body are designed for labor, I didn’t possess confidence, I outsourced my birth decisions to others &, ultimately, I left the Lord out of my plans for pregnancy and birth. After experiencing two surgical deliveries, I realized if I wanted different (read: better) birth experiences with future babies, I would need to take a radically different approach toward birth. This led me on a Holy Spirit prompted journey to educate myself, learn from other mamas who experienced birth the way I hoped to, gain confidence in my choices & above ALL prayerfully trust in the Lord as I entrusted my future births into His good and perfect hands. Two incredibly redemptive homebirths later, I want to yell about God’s faithfulness & grace to me in birth from the mountaintops! And now I’m “here” to do just that while also aiming to equip, educate, encourage and hype up Christian mamas about alllll things pregnancy, birth & beyond so that they too can experience God’s grace-filled faithfulness to them, His beloved image bearers, in labor. So! Whether you’re still discerning if natural birth is right for you, looking to navigate through a low-intervention labor, longing for some birth encouragement from someone who has been RIGHT where you are or just wanting to keep Jesus at the center of all your birth-binging consumption, this space is for YOU. Slip into your stretchy pants, fill up that water bottle - no really… go do it, gotta keep you & baby hydrated 😉 - & let’s get into it!

  • 04. My Top 8 Scriptures For Strength & Encouragement in Labor

    04. My Top 8 Scriptures For Strength & Encouragement in Labor
    2024/12/23

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing the top 8 Scriptures I dwelt on and clung to MOST throughout my two unmedicated labors. While there are MANY more I could share about, these eight were the ones I repeatedly reflected on that brought me the most peace, strength, and reminded me of God’s unfailing love even during the most intense moments of birth.

    While regular ol' birth affirmations and mantras can be helpful to an extent... there is NOTHING like storing up the Word of God in your mind & heart to keep you rooted in Truth & full of faith in the One who has promised to be with you always -- even to the very end.

    Top 8 Scriptures for Labor:

    1. Psalm 94:18-19 – “When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.”
    2. Isaiah 41:10 – “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
    3. Isaiah 26:3-4 – “You will keep Him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You, because He trusts in You.”
    4. Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
    5. Romans 8:18 – “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
    6. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 – “But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
    7. Psalm 121:1-2 – “I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
    8. 1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”

  • 03. How To Relax in Early Labor Using The "Limp Noodle" Approach

    03. How To Relax in Early Labor Using The "Limp Noodle" Approach
    2024/12/12

    In today's episode I'm sharing about my ridiculously-named, go-to approach for handling early labor contractions.

    You'll come away from this episode having learned:

    • WHY relaxing into contractions rather than tensing up & fighting them matters
    • The value of training yourself to PRACTICE (seriously, you gotta) relaxing during pregnancy BEFORE labor begins-- attempting to relax for the 1st time when contractions start rolling in AIN'T IT
    • How to practice the various relaxation techniques discussed within the episode
    • What taking this approach will practically look like once your baby's birth day arrives

    I pray this episode blesses you & helps equip you to labor faithfully with God & for His glory! Enjoy.

    Blessings,

    Audrey
