060: Trusting God Through Life's Twists and Turns (with Meghan Dougherty)

How much change can you handle in a matter of a few months? Getting married, getting pregnant, moving houses, getting locked down for Covid…what a whirlwind of change Meghan and her husband experienced all in a matter of a few months! Add nausea and extreme fatigue due to anemia of pregnancy onto that and it’s sure to throw anybody for a loop. Also, did you ever think that epidurals could work “too” well? Did you know they could have side effects that last beyond labor and birth? All of this and more as Meghan shares her stories with us today, and how she had to learn to tell God her specific desires and then trust Him with what He deemed best in His love and care for her and her family. 00:00 Introduction04:05 Upcoming Birth Class Announcement04:48 Meet Megan / Megan's Whirlwind of Changes06:15 Megan's First Pregnancy Experience14:52 Labor and Delivery Challenges22:38 Postpartum Struggles and Reflections30:09 Planning for a Different Pregnancy31:17 Announcing the Pregnancy31:28 Managing Pregnancy Symptoms32:11 Prayers and Preparations33:33 Iron Issues, Anemia, and Natural Remedies38:55 Labor and Delivery54:24 Postpartum Experience55:40 Breastfeeding Journey56:48 Lessons and Reflections01:00:41 Advice for Expecting Moms01:02:04 ConclusionSend us a text!Support the showHas our podcast made an impact in your life?
