-Catching yourself feeling kinda curious about taking a more natural approach to child birth.... buuuuut aren’t quite sure if it’s the right path for you yet?
-Do you wish you understood more about God’s good & wise design for pregnancy, birth and postpartum --- but feel OVERWHELMED on where to even start?
-Do you trust that the Lord cares about & longs to be involved in ALL areas of your life... including labor?
-Are you SO READY to start feeling more confident, at peace and even excited about partnering with the Lord to bring forth new life into this world??
In this podcast, you’ll discover God’s beautiful design for labor & delivery, gain confidence in your birth decisions, hear uplifting birth stories from Christian women who have gone before & be regularly reminded to keep Jesus at the center of it all so you can feel prepared (and even EXCITED!) to embrace the faith-deepening experience of physiological labor WITH God & for His glory.
Hey, I’m Audrey! Bible-believing Christian, wife, former RN & mom of four—two born via C-section and two delivered at home. With my first two deliveries, I lacked sufficient education about how a woman’s & baby’s body are designed for labor, I didn’t possess confidence, I outsourced my birth decisions to others &, ultimately, I left the Lord out of my plans for pregnancy and birth.
After experiencing two surgical deliveries, I realized if I wanted different (or better) birth experiences with future babies, I would need to take a radically different approach toward birth. This led me on a Holy Spirit prompted journey to educate myself, learn from other mamas who experienced birth the way I hoped to, gain confidence in my choices & above ALL prayerfully trust in the Lord as I entrusted my future births into His good and perfect hands.
Now, after two incredibly redemptive home births experiences, I’m on a mission to equip, encourage and inform Christian mamas about alllll things pregnancy, birth & beyond so that they too can experience God’s grace-filled faithfulness to them as they co-labor with Christ to bring forth new life.
So! Whether you’re still discerning if natural birth is right for you, looking to navigate through a low-intervention labor, needing some pre-birth encouragement from someone who has been RIGHT where you are or are just wanting to keep Jesus at the center of all your birth-binging consumption, this space is for YOU.
Slip into your stretchy pants, fill up that water bottle...no really, I’ll wait, gotta keep you + baby hydrated...And let’s get into it!!

15. The Top 3 Nuggets I Share About MOST Often With Natural Birth - Curious Moms
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the top three things that seem to come up all the time when I chat with curious moms about natural birth. Whether you’re just starting to consider a natural birth or you’re already on board and looking for encouragement, I hope you enjoy these little must-know tidbits that I just can’t help but talk about!
I'll cover:
Why your body is designed for birth—and how understanding that truth can change everything.
The importance of preparation—why birth is a marathon, not a sprint, and how training for it makes all the difference.
How stress impacts labor—and I'll give an example to help emphasize the importance of creating a peaceful, faith-filled environment for your birth.
I’ll share what these truths have meant to me, how they’ve transformed my own birth experiences, and how you can confidently embrace God’s design for your body. Pray you leave encouraged, empowered, and ready to lean into God’s faithfulness as you prepare for the beautiful work of birth.
