Ep. 17 Lies Christian women believe about childbirth- from new age beliefs to cultural norm with Jazman Allen

There are way too many lies that women believe about childbirth that usually lead us to have fear and give in to interventions that cause more harm than good. In this episode, Jazman and I talk about many of the lies that she sees moms believe and some of the new age practices that can become spiritually harmful. She talks about how she helps moms and dads come into the Truth about childbirth and gives them tools that are biblically grounded to help them relax through labor. She also educates her clients on the labor and delivery process so couples are not going into hospitals uneducated and at the mercy of other caregiver's advice. Some of the myths we tackle are: You are supposed to feel like you are dying from the pain of childbirth You have no control over your body during labor You must listen to the doctors and do what they say The doctors are the experts and know exactly what your body and baby need Sage cleansing Inviting your ancestors into your birth experience Christian Hypnobirthing When we internalize lies like "I have to be in pain" we are triggering our fight or fight response to labor and anticipating pain. When we hardwire our brains for that kind of response then we will definitely experience pain in the process. But, if we can rewire our way of thinking about birth and the natural process that God designed, we can actually experience a peaceful, relaxing, and empowering birth!! God called us to live supernaturally, believing that you can have an easy and fear-free birth is possible. "Making it through pregnancy and delivery is like wearing a badge of honor in our society because you practically survived death."
