051: How Home Birth Can Offer Freedom and Peace Of Mind (with Jeni and John Davis)

A last minute 66 hour induction at 37 weeks is not exactly what John and Jeni had planned for their daughter’s birth, but their naïvety of being young, first-time parents got the better of them. From the moment they got home from their nearly week long stay at the hospital, Jeni was already planning the redemptive second birth she knew God had for her, but this time, with open hands for His will to be done and not hers. Hear how their son’s birth was a complete one-eighty from their daughter’s, and why choosing to have him at home was what they feel like God intended for them all along.KEY TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE INCLUDE: • Induction• Home Birth• High Blood Pressure• Pregnancy Nutrition• The Brewer's Diet• The Power of PrayerAs mentioned in this episode:• The Business of Being Born Documentary • Real Food For Pregnancy Book• The Brewer's Diet00:00 Introduction04:56 Meet Jeni & John Davis06:13 First Pregnancy Challenges08:51 Navigating High Blood Pressure During Pregnancy09:57 The Induction Process12:52 Postpartum Reflections18:17 Choosing a Natural Birth21:30 The Brewer's Diet and Pregnancy Nutrition31:54 Breastfeeding and Postpartum Challenges36:16 Planning for a Home Birth40:05 Deciding on a Home Birth40:24 Presenting the Case for Home Birth41:39 Husband's Perspective and Prayer44:00 Pros and Cons of Home Birth48:31 Preparing for the Birth51:10 Judah's Birth Story53:35 Labor and Delivery01:03:46 Post-Birth Reflections01:07:38 Postpartum Challenges and Support01:13:34 Spiritual Lessons and Final Thoughts01:21:33 Conclusion & Outtakes------------Send us Fan MailSupport the showHas our podcast made an impact in your life?
