Description

Send us a textIn this episode of Faith Over Fear: The Christian Pregnancy & Birth Podcast, I'm sharing a practical but powerful tool for your birth journey—creating effective birth preferences that serve as a communication tool for your entire birth team. Rather than focusing on controlling every aspect of birth, this approach creates clarity and unity while honoring God's ultimate plan. Whether you're preparing for your first birth, hoping to have more input in your birth experience, or simply wanting to feel more prepared, this step-by-step guide will help you approach birth with both wisdom and surrender.In this episode, I share:📋 Why I prefer "birth preferences" over "birth plans" and the biblical wisdom behind this mindset ✔️ Essential categories to consider from before labor begins through postpartum care 🎶 Practical comfort measures including my favorite essential oils and music recommendations 🗣️ How to communicate your preferences clearly while still holding them with open hands 👶 Personal stories and lessons from my own births with Ellie and DanielScripture Shared: "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand." – Proverbs 19:21A Prayer for You: I close this episode by praying over you as you prepare for your baby's birth. May you find wisdom in preparation, peace in surrender, and confidence knowing that God goes before you, beside you, and covers you with His unfailing love throughout your birth journey.Mentioned in this episode: 📚 Christian Mama Birth Prep Library: Free Birth Preferences Checklist, worship playlists & more ☑️ Birth Ball Sizing Guide: Check out my Instagram post about proper birth ball sizing✝️ Online Christian Childbirth Education: Explore my complete birth preparation self-paced courseIf this episode encouraged you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend.
