Together, they discuss Catholic anthropology, natural birth, the role of fathers, the need for more Catholic midwives, and how families can reclaim a deeper trust in the wisdom built into the human body.Whether you're expecting a child, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in what it means to be human, this conversation offers a compelling vision of birth as both deeply natural and deeply spiritual.Resources:Mary Haseltine's Book: Made for This: The Catholic Mom's Guide to Birth Made for This Resources
