158: When Postpartum Is Harder Than Giving Birth (Birth Center Birth, Wrongful Diagnosis, Meconium Aspiration) [with John & Makenzie Payne]

from Surrendered Birth Stories: Your Christian Birth Story Podcast

As a first time mom, Mackenzie’s pregnancy and labor were relatively smooth. A long early labor, yes, and a later gestation, but a quick active labor and a very quick pushing stage, although that part was forced upon her. For Makenzie and John, pregnancy and labor would be the easy part. It was postpartum that things would get hard. After getting home from a hospital transfer for meconium aspiration, they thought the postpartum drama was over, but unfortunately, it was just getting started. Little did they know they’d be spending their next few days in the hospital, and unfortunately, completely unnecessarily! But God has purpose in everything in our lives, He’s faithful, and so is his supernatural peace that He gives us in the process!
