A Labor Nurse’s Unplanned Home Birth and What It Taught Her with Lauren and Drew
EPISODE 14: Birth, Teamwork, and Trusting the Process — with Lauren & Drew
In this episode, I sat down with Lauren and Drew, a couple whose story really shows what it means to grow, adapt, and keep your power through the unpredictability of birth and life. Lauren’s a labor and delivery nurse, and Drew’s a farmer who’s seen plenty of animal births, but human birth had a few surprises of its own.
We talked about:
How Lauren’s confidence as a nurse shifted after her first birth experience
What it takes to prepare as a couple, mentally, physically, and emotionally
Drew’s perspective as a partner learning to stay grounded and supportive
The fast, unplanned home birth that tested everything they’d learned
How faith, teamwork, and flexibility helped them find peace in the chaos
Their story is a reminder that birth (and life) doesn’t always follow the plan, and that true resilience comes from education, communication, and learning to let go of control when things get real.
