Birth Story Part 1: Postpartum Anxiety and the Blessing of Family

Today I have a special treat for you … I’ve invited my daughter Savannah and her husband, Ryan, on the show to have a “living room” conversation about the birth of their baby girl, Juniper. This is a raw, real look inside our tight-knit family… and I think it will bless and encourage you. Family and a caring community is so important during pregnancy and the postpartum. I’ll be honest: you guys, the first week of Junie’s birth was hard. We all know the weeks around having a baby are expected to be challenging, but adding the stress of this COVID situation is certainly not helping things. Savannah struggled with severe postpartum anxiety—and the Lord helped us through in some pretty amazing ways. Many of us know someone who’s pregnant right now (you might even be pregnant yourself!) and I think you’ll be encouraged to hear Savannah and  Ryan share their story—unfiltered—about what they learned and what they did that helped.
