YOUR BIRTH, GOD’S WAY - Christian Pregnancy, Natural Birth, Postpartum, Breastfeeding Help

It's so hard to know what to do when you have a provider telling you that you "have to" do something and you really don't want to do it. What if you say no and something bad happens? What if you say yes and it wasn't needed and it leads to other things that could be harmful that wouldn't have happened if you'd stuck to your guns? It's overwhelming and intimidating so today I'm going to give you 3 ways to do when your provider tells you that you "have to" do something so we can try to eliminate fear and think clearly and rationally about what we're going to choose. This will mainly impact hospital births since home and birth center providers tend to be believers in informed consent rather than intimidation, but that's not 100% the case so everyone could stand to benefit from what I'm gonna share today.

EP 13 \ My Baby Is Here And I Should Be Happy....So Why Am I CRYING?

If you've had a baby before, you are probably very familiar with the question in the title of this episode....WHY am I crying??? I'm supposed to be happy! If this is you, I'm glad you're here so you can know you're normal and if you have more babies, you'll be ready. If you haven't had a baby before, I'm so glad you're here because you need to know this ahead of time -- AND you need to talk to your husband and family about it. Baby blues and postpartum depression are very real things and a majority of women deal with one or the other, and yet nobody seems to be talking about it so most moms feel like they are alone to suffer. Today I want to talk to you about what causes this, what's going on while it's happening, and hopefully, help you navigate it -- and I'll help you understand when it crosses over into being abnormal. Grab a pen and notebook because you're going to want to remember what we talk about today.
