052: Wielding Faith to Overcome Fear (with Natasha Davidson)

Hindsight is always 20/20, and we are blessed that God allows us to learn things through our experiences to help make changes for the better next time. Even though there are some things that Natasha would choose to do differently in her next birth experience, God was right there with her through her entire journey and gave her the peace that comes with His presence. During pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, with the help of counseling and the Lord, she was able to combat her anxiety and fear with truth and trust. Listen today as Natasha shares her sweet story of her son’s birth.KEY TOPICS IN THIS EPISODE INCLUDE:• Hospital Birth• Epidural• Anxiety in Pregnancy• The Peace of God 00:00 Introduction03:38 Natasha's Birth Story: Introduction04:33 Natasha's Pregnancy Journey07:26 Challenges and Highlights of Pregnancy10:41 Preparing for Labor and Delivery12:55 Labor Starts25:25 Transitioning Out of the Pool26:14 Efficient Contractions and Temperature Swings27:46 A Husband's Support28:50 Arrival of the Doula and Community Support30:47 Challenges During Pushing32:57 Epidural and Relief40:36 Final Push and Baby's Arrival42:40 Postpartum Reflections and Breastfeeding46:15 Emotional Journey and Community Support51:38 Outro------------Send us Fan MailSupport the showHas our podcast made an impact in your life?
