Adriana is a mom saved by grace in more ways than one. Saved out of witchcraft and unto the Lordship of Christ, she experienced a disappointing and difficult birth and postpartum with her first child. But as she grew, she experienced Jesus' gracious leadership and said YES to Him as it pertained to growing her family. You’ll hear about how that one YES resulted in myriad miracles within and around her and culminated in a sweet and redemptive unassisted birth and postpartum.

We've become rather obsessed with finding ways to describe the "pattern" of "normal" labor and assessing its progress. But what if the methods listed above are lacking and possibly even misleading us into conclusions (and interventions) that do us a great disservice?
In this episode -- which piggy-backs off Sharon's birth story in episode 9 -- we explore alternative ways of understanding and "assessing" the flow of labor. We think you'll find this new perspective refreshing and freeing.
Mentioned in this episode:
Lauren's Observing...2022-09-1355 minHoly Wild BirthSharon: Overcoming DoubtsWhen you are choosing birth that’s outside of the mainstream, it’s common to wonder to yourself, “Can I really have a smooth home birth for my first baby?”Yes! “Surely, not two in a row?” Yes! “For my third, it must be my time for that metaphorical shoe to drop?” Then what if it's so far from being a "textbook" labor that you're pretty thrown off and have to mentally re-adjust over and over? Such was Sharon's experience. She had Lauren in her corner and more importantly God guiding her to release her fears and trust and in the end, was abl...2022-09-061h 06Holy Wild BirthSurpassing Pain-Free BirthOk, if you're a Christian planning a natural birth, you've probably heard the descriptor of "pain-free" tacked to the front of the word birth. Sounds good, right? Who wouldn't want that?
Lauren and Brooke have both had what could be called pain-free births and yet they don't really care that much. Why? Because God's purposes for His daughters in childbirth so greatly surpass the physical sensations or lack there-of that whether or not there is pain is really more of an after-thought.
Join us as we explore the theology of pain, the "curse" on Eve...2022-08-3056 min

She shares how her primary birth goals shifted from Safety&Survival to Peace&Power and what a difference that shift made.
What struck me most about my conversation with Sarah is how eloquently she weaves deep truths and profound insights into her telling of her stories. She encountered God in some really poignant ways in her second birth, and I know you'll me encouraged by every detail of it.

Ask your midwife and she'll probably have a few more tricks up her sleeve to offer up should you so desire/need.
But...
Can an induction ever be natural?
What reasons are given for seeking to induce "naturally" outside of the hospital?
What makes those reasons so compelling?
Is there a time and a place for that?
What is the actual BEST strategy for getting labor started?

This leads into the concept of understanding and weighing risks, real or perceived, and looking around for strategies, protocols and practitioners who we feel will minimize risk and ensure saftey. But what if, like my flock of chickens locked up too long in a small chicken run, the parameters we put into place to protect ourselves and our babies end up costing us something(s) even more valuable?
Tune into this episode to unpack the myths of safety and risk, in which a real-life...2022-08-0239 min
Holy Wild BirthJalina: An Almost Boring Free BirthAfter years of infertility, Jalina was led through healing and went on to have 4 sons, though not without significant losses in between. While her first 3 sons were all born in hospitals (albeit barely, in the case of #3!), she always felt she was missing out on something, and that the thing she really needed had nothing to do with the hospital. When she found herself pregnant with her 4th, it didn't make sense to go to the hospital again... but the leap from there to free birth wasn't an easy or light decsion. All the same, God led her and...2022-07-261h 21Holy Wild BirthMidwife, Rightly OrderedLauren and Brooke have each had free births and are supportive of them. But we're also supportive of midwifery (I mean, Lauren IS one!)...
But what does the word "midwife" mean anymore? Doesn't it seem like that word gets applied to lots of very different sorts of birth attendants?
What do the letters after her name mean? What if she doesn't have any letters? How much do those letters (or lack thereof) really tell you about what sort of a midwife she is? What makes someone a midwife and what are her roles and functions?2022-07-1954 min
Holy Wild BirthNikita: Taking God at His Word and as Her MidwifeNikita's first two babies were born in hospital, even though she dreamed of a home birth both times. It was for her third birth that her dream came true. Following the direct leading of the Lord, she and her husband stepped into a peaceful unassisted pregnancy and a joyful unassisted birth.
