About this listen

In this episode of Moline Method Mic’d, we’re sharing the unexpected journey of our daughter’s birth — from planning a peaceful home birth to a surprise early delivery at the hospital. We open up about what it was like when Kelly’s water broke ahead of schedule, how we adapted in the moment, and the incredible support we received from our doula, midwives, and the strength we found through Jesus.

You’ll hear how we prepared for labor naturally using nutrient-dense foods, functional medicine tools, and mindset work, plus what really helped in the moment — including counter pressure techniques and staying fueled through contractions. Whether you’re planning a natural birth or just curious about how birth can unfold outside of a textbook, this honest conversation is filled with encouragement, insight, and grace for the unexpected.
