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.

Today's episode is an interview with a mom & listener named Lauren who tells us about her decision to switch from an OB and conventional pregnancy care to a home birth midwife past 20 weeks gestation. She shares with us the events that led up to this big decision, obstacles she faced while making the switch, and the beautiful birth that followed. I often tell you that it's never too late to fire your provider if you see red flags, but this is a real-life story showing you that it can be done even if it's hard.
If you would like to follow Lauren on Instagram you can find her at https://www.instagram.com/naturaljungleliving

Today I’m sharing part 3 of the recording of a presentation I did back in February called "Sharpen Your Health". This presentation was given to a group of Christian homeschoolers, so it is NOT a pregnant crowd. In other words, this episode with have a lot of information that is applicable to EVERYONE, not just pregnant moms. This will be split up into 3 episodes because it is a LOT of information to process. This part deals with trusting God with your immune system and leaning on His way of healing rather than the man-made imitation we find being pushed on us.

God made breastfeeding as the best way to feed a newborn baby, but in our currently world and culture, many people choose other routes to feed their babies. How we choose to feed our babies has consequences and one of those consequences is the time commitment of how long each way will take out of your day. This is a side of the topic I don't see discussed much, so I wanted to break down the reality of how long feedings take for breastfeeding, formula feeding, and pumping and bottle feeding the expressed breast milk.

I get a lot of questions about doulas and whether you need one for your birth at the hospital, home, or in a birth center, so today I’m going to take a few minutes to explain what a doula is, what they do, and whether you need one for your birth based on where you plan to have your baby.

Show Notes:
We’ve touched on this before in another episode, but with our focus this past month on home birth, I wanted to spend some time looking more in depth at what comes with the global fee most midwives charge so you can appreciate the immense value that a home birth midwife brings. I also wanted to look at potential long term costs that will far exceed the midwife’s fee.
If you need help figuring out how to afford home birth, or if you need help with any other aspect of home birth, join us for the Home Birth Prep Course LIVE starting July 11th at 7pm Central time where we’ll spend Thursday nights for four weeks diving into these topics in a way that will ensure you are fully prepared for every aspect of your birth at home. This page has all the details so go check it out!

SHOW NOTES:
I've been seeing a lot about free birth on social media and I've had moms ask me what my opinion is about whether it is a safe option or something to be avoided, so I decided it was time to do an episode on it. It is a very interesting topic and it is certainly not new. We look at the reality of unattended birth in this episode and think about whether it might be a good option for you.
If you are planning a freebirth and want to learn more about how to prepare your home, what supplies you need and where to get them, how get your family on board, how to make the transition into postpartum and breastfeeding, and so much more, sign up for my LIVE Home Birth Prep Course starting July 11th!

Last week we took a look at home birth together. Today, we’ll look at hospital birth together. Not much more to say than that, other than to say if you haven’t listened to episode 95 yet, go do that first, then come back and listen to this episode so you can get the background.
As a midwife who has worked in the hospital and out of the hospital to attend births, and earlier as a labor & delivery (L&D) nurse who helped women with birth in the hospital for many years, I've seen both sides of this picture first hand and they are certainly not the same. There are really a very few women who truly need the interventions that take place every day to every women in the hospital setting. Most women can safely give birth out of the hospital and have beautiful, physiologic birth with no complications and no need for intervention.

Everything that is new to you seems scary. Familiarity is what makes things comfortable and less scary. This is true for many things and home birth is no different. I get messages from listeners saying they would love to have a birth at home but their husband isn’t comfortable or maybe they’re scared to do it. So I want to talk today about whether home birth is scary or if maybe we’re just scared of what you don’t know and your fear is really based on what you’ve been told which might not even be true. But God is not the author of fear….He tells us to FEAR NOT — so let’s get the information and move forward fearlessly.

When you want to have a homebirth but your husband or family isn't on board, it can be a very stressful and frustrating for everybody involved. They love you dearly and the lies of the world can have them believing that home birth is dangerous and reckless. Often with the right information, they will change their perspective, so this episode dives into this topic. It is easier for me to talk to them than for you to since I don't have the emotional ties you do. Sit down and listen together or just send them the link to listen. Hopefully this will be the first step to you being on the same page. Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a very special announcement on this topic!

Prenatal nutrition is one of the only things you can truly control during pregnancy. If you've listened long to my podcast, you know that's something I preach over and over, especially in episodes 23-26 and 88. In today's episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Lily Nichols, RDN, CDE, author of three books all about this topic. You can find the links to the books below as well as links to the articles she references during our discussion!
Lily's Folic acid vs. folate article
Lily's Article about "Can You Eat Too Much Fish During Pregnancy" (discusses mercury in pregnancy)
Real Food for Pregnancy book
Real Food for Gestational Diabetes book
Real Food for Fertility book

It is only natural that many moms are afraid of tearing "down there" during birth. Perineal tears (aka perineal lacerations) seem pretty scary, but the best way to deal with fear is by getting the information so you can think about it more rationally. Yes, tears do happen, but they are rare and the risk that you have one can be reduced by doing some things before and during birth, so today that's what we're talking about - how to reduce the risk of tearing during birth.
