  • EP 90 \ Newborn Transition to Life on the Outside: How To Make It Smooth and Beautiful

    EP 90 \ Newborn Transition to Life on the Outside: How To Make It Smooth and Beautiful
    May 7 2024
    SHOW NOTES Kinda like with birth, if you listen to people around you, you probably think that the newborn period is a traumatic time of screaming babies and nobody sleeping much. Babies are either colic or teething or allergic to this or that or won’t sleep at night. It can sound pretty scary. But what if I told you that all of that is something that is very true to who they are and who they have always been — they are trying to adjust to something so very different than all they’ve ever known….so we need to try to help them work through that in the right way if we want to make that transition smooth and beautiful. Inside this episode you’ll get information on how to help make the baby’s transition to life outside the womb smooth and beautiful. Links to products mentioned: Arms Reach CoSleeper — very close to the one I used, but an updated model Inspired by Finn Teething Necklaces — 15% off with code YBGW La Leche League International Bed Sharing Info Boba Wraps & Carriers Ergo Carrier Helpful Links: 2 WAYS TO WORK WITH LORI: --> Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!

  • EP 89 \ Change Your Language & Change Your Birth: 3 Mindset Shifts That Will Transform Your Pregnancy & Birth

    EP 89 \ Change Your Language & Change Your Birth: 3 Mindset Shifts That Will Transform Your Pregnancy & Birth
    Apr 30 2024

    SHOW NOTES:

    Have you noticed this terminology that pretty much everybody uses about birth? The doctor said I “had to”. I asked the nurse if I “could”. They wouldn’t “let me”. Do you hear that? There’s a structure here that puts “THEM” above you…..and yet it’s YOUR birth. YOU hired THEM to be there. I wanna talk to you today about how a simple change in your mindset can transform the way your birth goes.

    Inside this episode, you’ll learn 3 things that are going to empower you to make strong, confident decisions around your birth. You’ll walk away knowing that you can own your birth no matter who you are!

  • EP 88 \ The One Thing You CAN Control In Pregnancy

    EP 88 \ The One Thing You CAN Control In Pregnancy
    Apr 25 2024
    SHOW NOTES: Today’s episode is all about nutrition because there isn’t much you can control about pregnancy, but what you eat is one of them and we need to be making sure we do our best to give our bodies and our babies the absolute best we can so we can be healthy and strong throughout pregnancy. This information is also especially useful to moms who are trying to conceive before conception has occurred. Preconception nutrition is important because most organs are already formed by the time a mom gets a positive pregnancy test. The nutrition needs to already be on board to get optimum results.

  • EP 86 \ Circumcision Series Follow-up: The Truth About Biblical Circumcision vs. Modern Routine Infant Circumcision

    EP 86 \ Circumcision Series Follow-up: The Truth About Biblical Circumcision vs. Modern Routine Infant Circumcision
    Apr 18 2024

    Many of you have struggled since listening to my series on circumcision back in January with knowing how to make sense of the current circumcision situation in our country and how that relates to the Old Testament biblical mandate for circumcision. I got an email from one of my listeners that shed some new light on the topic that I think will help you, so today I'm sharing with you what she shared with me. I hope this helps you. Let me know what you think.

    Previous episodes on circumcision: Episodes 65-68

    Article discussed in episode

    To learn about Old Testament Law vs. New Testament (including a discussion of circumcision) and how they work together, read Romans and Galatians

    1 Corinthians 7:19 (NKJV): "Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters."

  • EP 85 \ Overcoming Birth Trauma To Have A God-Filled, Peaceful Homebirth with Aly McClain

    EP 85 \ Overcoming Birth Trauma To Have A God-Filled, Peaceful Homebirth with Aly McClain
    Apr 16 2024

    In today's episode, I interview Aly McClain from the Peaceful Homebirth podcast. Aly shares with us her background as a registered nurse, the story of her traumatic c-section birth with her first baby, her road to healing and recovery, and her beautiful, redeeming home birth she went on to have later. You will learn about how even those of us in the medical field can fall a victim to the lies and the cascade of interventions, but you will also learn how you can rise above it and heal for future births if you've had a birth that didn't go the way you wanted it to.

    EP 84 \ How Routine Testing Can Ruin Your Birth Plans/ The Damage Of False Positives And Incidental Findings
    Apr 9 2024
    SHOW NOTES: Are routine prenatal tests a good idea or are they simply another tool of our medicalized maternity system used to derail our birth plans and get us back in line with the standardized care they prefer? This episode will look at things like routine STD testing (specifically syphilis testing which is called RPR and TPPA), routine gestational diabetes testing, routine ultrasounds, and routine urinalysis tests which can find GBS and cause you to be called GBS positive long before birth is near. This episode will provide you will information and data to make informed decisions (informed consent or informed refusal) about your care.
