Avsnitt

  • Twice recently I have had reviews that accused me of being a fear mongerer because I tell the truth about hospital birth. I'm not scared of negative reviews because it means I've hit a nerve -- that's good! Let's talk about it. Galatians 4:16 says, "Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?" Sometimes the truth hurts, and sometimes warnings are needed when real danger awaits. I'm diving into the hornet's nest today as I face the bad reviews.

  • Just your annual reminder that "NO, thank you" is a complete sentence when your doctor or midwife start saying things like "Let's pick your induction date" or "If you want to make sure I'm there, we need to induce on ____." If your baby isn't here yet, your baby isn't ready. Wait on God. Your labor will come at the perfect time!

  • There's a moment in time during active labor between stage one and stage two called "transition". This is a time when really everything about labor changes. It is in this moment that many moms are thrown off of their game and they abandon their plan because they don't understand the flow of labor and they think they can't do it anymore, not realizing they're almost there. I don't want that to happen to you, so this episode is designed to help you and your husband or support person recognize the signs so you can push through and have the birth God designed you to have.

    Today's show is the conclusion of my follow up interview with Dr. Stuart Fischbein. I brought him back on to talk about vaginal breech birth and how it came to be the normal policy to deliver all breech babies by c-section. As usual, the conversation with him is full and rich and covers so much more than just breech. In this final section of our interview you will learn about:

    Are obstetricians really experts?Who's benefitting from the system as it stands now?Is it bad to be crazy in the eyes of the system?What would happen if we did away with modern obstetrics?Neil Silverman and the "C" shot safetyBig MedicineTwins and safety

  • I get a lot of questions from moms about RhoGAM and until now I haven’t really addressed it, so I thought today would be a good time to give you the basics of Rhogam so you can know for yourself whether this is a subject you need to learn more about. We'll talk about rhesus blood types, who may need RhoGAM to prevent possible sensitization during pregnancy and after birth, and how sensitization works.

  • Most of the time conversation about how to feed your baby centers around the nutrient value of breastfeeding versus formula feeding. That is a very important conversation, obviously. But as is often the case, when we move away from God’s design, there is a “trickle down” impact that flows into so many other areas of life that we maybe didn’t consider. Today I want to talk with you about the consequences outside of nutrition alone that feeding with a bottle and using a pacifier can have on your baby — and yes, this includes pumping and bottle feeding.

  • The reality of the aftermath of Hurricane Helene has shown us clearly that things can change fast and you might not be able to access the kind of care you had planned. We've got to get serious. Nothing we have now is promised. Plans for epidurals or c-sections or bottle feeding...they might not pan out if the worst comes your way. So today is the day to change your perspective about your health, your pregnancy, and how you'll feed your baby so that you don't find yourself vulnerable.

  • If you are were in the path of Hurricane Helene and you are pregnant nearing delivery, you are probably terrified right now of what's going to happen if you go into labor. Or if you are listening to this sometime in the future, you might find yourself in a place where you can't get the assistance you need for another reason. This episode is a desperate attempt to get information to the moms who need it right now in areas of Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, and parts of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida who might be in a position that they are facing labor alone, unplanned. There are women who are going to have an unassisted birth at home even though they planned a hospital birth with all the interventions....and that's a scary place to be. I want to help those women.

    I know many of these places don't have electricity right now or internet/cell service, but some are being restored even though their roads are still washed out. So my plea to anyone listening to this today is that you share this as far and wide as you can so that hopefully this will reach the mamas who need it right now. I'm releasing it early rather than waiting until my usual release date of Tuesday morning to try to get a jump start on it. There will also be a YouTube video with the same information in case that is easier to share. This is my attempt to help anyone I can as I sit helpless in middle Tennessee, unable to go be with these women who are essentially cut off from society. My prayer is this helps at least one mom. I ask you to help me do that.

    Have you ever side-stepped a gut feeling and kept going toward the thing your gut told you to avoid….and then later you wish you hadn’t. Believe me when I tell you that birth is no different, only the regrets you can have when you ignore your gut about birth can have consequences that are too heavy to carry, so today I want to talk to you about discerning that gut feeling and why it’s so important not to ignore your gut intuition.
