It's possible to advocate for yourself during a hospital birth as long as you've done your research...right? Emily, a Registered Nurse, definitely thought so. With experience as a medical professional and years of education under her belt, she knew what to expect. However, all the knowledge in her head didn't do the trick when her providers started fear-mongering and pressuring her into making uninformed decisions that led to a cascade of unnecessary and traumatic medical interventions.
After delivering her first baby sixteen months ago, Emily recently experienced an incredibly redemptive physiological birth. After struggling with intense anxiety during her first pregnancy, she was able to truly surrender her concerns and worries to God the second time around. She reminds us that no experience is purposeless or hopeless; God uses it all for His glory and our good.
