Peaceful Homebirth Podcast | Homebirth Preparation for Christian Women & Healing from Birth Trauma

This episode explores the historical shift from home births to hospital births in the U.S. Using a 1928–1940 study, the episode explains how rising hospital births initially increased interventions and infection risks and shows that maternal mortality only declined after some simple adjustments.

From a Christian perspective, Aly discusses cultural trust in medical institutions, the professionalization of obstetrics, and how understanding this history can help women make informed choices about childbirth today.

"Most of the time when left alone, birth works." This is the phrase you'll hear me see almost on every episode. This starts with the belief that "birth is simple." 

But what happens if pregnancy and birth become complicated? What if difficult things come up? Are you surrounded by people who will help you and support you, or shut you down and silence you?

In this episode you'll find helpful reminders on how to build community that actually shows up when you need them to!

Do you want a homebirth so bad that it hurts sometimes? You find yourself with racing thoughts of all the what of scenarios which leads you into a cycle of information overload. You’re scrolling IG for hours searching for stories just like yours to help you feel better, you compulsively text your doula or midwife in hopes they will say just the right thing to calm your nerves. You start to question if homebirth is really what you should be doing… or you go so far to believe that it would be better to die at home then transfer to the hospital. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone!

 

Today my friend Amanda and I are going to be diving deeper into some New Age and New Thought deceptions that ultimately lead to idolizing birth. Our hearts are not ones of condemnation because we have been where many of you may be listening to this episode. We want to encourage and compel you that Jesus is the ONLY path for peace and freedom. You will never know enough to have peace, be enlightened or perfect enough and no experience will satisfy you like the one where you meet and surrender your life to Jesus.
