In sharing my birth story, I hope to convey the depth and beauty of this journey toward a supernatural birth. I desired a natural, unmedicated home birth—a vision inspired by the experiences of other courageous women and the wisdom in Jackie Mize's book, "Supernatural Childbirth". I truly believed that with faith, prayer, and mental resilience, this birth could be a powerful, sacred experience. As labor unfolded, I encountered challenges I hadn’t expected. Each moment of difficulty became an invitation to lean deeper into faith, trust God’s timing, and surrender the outcome. This experience transformed me profoundly, teaching me to release control to embrace the mystery and beauty of birth. The journey wasn’t easy, but it was a powerful reminder of the strength within and the grace that surrounds us when we allow ourselves to truly let go.
