So you just had a home birth...what do you do next?

If it isn't obvious already, home birth is starkly and vastly different than a hospital or birth center birth. But is it any different immediately following the birth?

In today's topical episode, Kayla discusses the following topics regarding home birth:

- What to do when the birth is over

- The legality of home birth (Is home birth legal?)

- Providing proof of pregnancy

- Processes for getting birth certificates and social security cards. (NC specific)

- Newborn care after a home birth

- Whether or not to go to a pediatrician

- And more...!

The twists and turns that can take place in our lives as God leads us from one season to another are astounding. From leaving religious cults, and trying to find healing through other churches that then turn around and treat you similarly, even though they’re supposed to be different, that in and of itself is incredibly difficult, especially as you’re trying to seek a deeper relationship with the Lord, but add several pregnancies and children into the mix, and the emotions just get deeper. Then, just when you think you’ve got it all, a great property, great relationships, and a great marriage…everything falls apart, right as you find out you’re pregnant with your seventh baby. What will the Lord do to redeem this situation? Can He be trusted? Is He truly sovereign? And what will He teach us through it all?

How do you react when you never planned on having children of your own, never planned on having the title “mom” or “dad” but then the Lord changes those plans drastically…and little did you know you’d gain three daughters in a 24-hour period? The message here is that God is good, His plans are better than ours, and that we’re able to more fully realize His goodness and mercies when things don’t go according to our original plans. Join us today as we hear Bess’ story of becoming a mother, through adoption and through pregnancy and birth!

What do you do when God is telling you one thing, but the doctors and medical system are telling you the opposite? This is a theme that came up for Amanda from before she got pregnant all the way through the births of her six children. The lesson? God’s word trumps man’s word every single time! Listen to this incredible story of fear conquered by faith as Amanda miraculously has her first vaginal birth after five previous C-Sections. Thought that was impossible? Think again!

When you have a 56 hour labor, that results in a transfer from home to hospital, you would assume all of the trauma from your birth experience is wrapped up in that, right? Not for Nikki, her trauma came about during early postpartum with everything from an IGT diagnosis, to an aspirating baby to an undiagnosed retained placenta that led to a hemorrhage at three and a half weeks postpartum. After all of that, it would take some time and healing before attempting to birth again, and then when she was ready, her and her husband faced secondary infertility. Trying to trust God through the process was difficult, but He showed Himself faithful in His timing again and again. For Nikki’s second birth, she had what some others would describe as a traumatic experience-but instead for her, the supernatural peace of the Holy Spirit made it a beautiful, calm and cherished memory for Nikki!

While I am on a little maternity leave from the podcast, we are replaying all five of my children's birth stories, and we'll end by releasing our newest baby's birth story.

Listen in today as Chris and I re-live the birth of our 5th baby, with all of the wild twists and turns along the way. There were so many things that were different this time -- things that were both in and out of our control. It's unlikely you'll ever hear another birth story quite like this one!

While I am on a little maternity leave from the podcast, we are replaying all five of my children's birth stories, and we'll end by releasing our newest baby's birth story.

This week, you will hear about the birth of our fourth child. Chris and I exchange memories of what pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum were like this time around. Considering it was our first home birth, it looks a lot different than the first three!

The wildest thing of all was that it was also my first painless childbirth! Listen in to hear how it all went down.
