142: How First-Time Parents Can Be Best Equipped For Birth (First Baby, Natural Birth, Hospital Birth) [with George & Emily Sandridge]

Most first-time moms who are planning a hospital birth arrive at the hospital too early, and some of them even get sent home, which can be incredibly defeating as a laboring woman wanting so badly to meet her baby. Thankfully, Emily made some really good choices during her pregnancy to prioritize childbirth education and hire a birth doula so she wouldn’t be one of those women. She arrived in active labor at a whopping 9cm and was able to get in the tub right away. Now that’s how it’s done! Emily and her husband George share with us today their adventure in becoming parents and how their faith grounded them every step of the way!Happy Mother's Day!! 26% OFF OUR ONLINE COURSE THIS WEEK ONLY! Click here: SURRENDERED BIRTH ONLINE COURSE!Then use the code: MOTHERSDAY26 at checkout!!! Sale goes from Monday 5/11/26-Friday 5/15/26 at 11:59pm EST!Send us Fan MailSupport the showHas our podcast made an impact in your life?
