SHOW NOTES:
Many women who want to labor naturally want to know if waterbirth is a safe option for them. I thought I had dealt with this topic in the past, but apparently I hadn't so today I'm doing that while covering this systemic review from the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
In this episode you will learn:
Is water birth safe?
What is water birth?
Who is a good candidate to have a waterbirth?
Who is not a good candidate to have a waterbirth??

EP 142 \ You Can't Know What You Don't Know…But It's Time To Find Out: 7 Things on Moving Forward Without Guilt
SHOW NOTES:
When you learn new things about what is good for your body, you sometimes learn things you wish you had done different. If you connect what you've learned as being a potential cause of something negative that has happened in your past, then it is easy for guilt to set in. In this episode, we talk about how this can happen and how to deal with it so you don't get paralyzed with guilt.

EP 141 \ How To Know What Your Midwife or Doctor Really Thinks About Birth
SHOW NOTES:
A lot of midwives and doctors will tell you on the front end that they are supportive of natural birth, but how can you tell for sure? It is not a good feeling to get to the end of the third trimester only to find out they've pulled a "bait and switch" on you and they're really not all that supportive of your birth plan or birth preferences. The best way to know for sure is to take the time early in pregnancy to do your due diligence by asking some well thought out questions and then listening well to HOW they answer. This episode takes you through the process so that you'll have a good chance of choosing a practitioner who truly supports the type of birth you want.
Here's the list of possible interview questions for when you go to a meet and greet appointment with a midwife or doctor: https://go.yourbirthgodsway.com/blog/interviewquestions

About YOUR BIRTH, GOD’S WAY - Christian Pregnancy, Natural Birth, Postpartum, Breastfeeding Help
** TOP 1% of Podcasts in the World **
Are you a Christian mom who is pregnant and you feel out of control in your prenatal care -- like you have no voice and no say in how things go? Are you yearning to bring God back into your time of birth? Do you feel unsupported and alone in this early motherhood journey? Do you want to find your voice to bring you the kind of care you’ve been dreaming of having?
IT IS POSSIBLE to reclaim your pregnancy and postpartum so you can have the peace and joy God intended you to have during this beautiful time of life. This show is going to be an answer to the prayer you’ve had in your heart to find a better way.
Hey mama! I’m Lori Morris, a certified nurse-midwife and a mama of three babies born on my terms in the water outside of the hospital, naturally. I’ve got over 20 years of experience in this broken medicalized world of childbirth. I’ve attended hundreds of births as a nurse and later as a certified nurse-midwife in the hospital, in birth centers, and (my own) at home. I know how all sides of maternity care and I am here to help Christian moms navigate this road with joy, calm, and clarity.
Inside this podcast, I will teach you:
--＞ How to trust God with your pregnancy and birth
-- ＞ How to find and use your voice in your pregnancy care
--＞ How to prepare for birth and rock it on your terms (homebirth, birth center birth, or hospital birth)
-- ＞ How to have a natural birth if that is what you choose
--＞ How to thrive during postpartum and breastfeeding
I can’t wait to help YOU break free from the grips of a broken medical system that has stripped the beauty and joy from what God made perfect. That doesn’t mean you can’t use the medical system, but we will work together to put it back in its proper place. You are more than a prenatal test result and your baby is more than a grapefruit on a pregnancy app! I give you permission to RELAX and ENJOY this time of life.
So if you’re ready to break away from the conventional to discover God’s beautiful plan for this fleeting time of life, go fill up that water bottle or grab some decaf and get ready. I’m about to show you how to reclaim your prenatal period, your childbirth, and your postpartum time as you become a woman and mother truly made in the image of God. YOU CAN DO THIS! He made you for this and I’m going to help you get there.
