The more families I sit with, the more it becomes true to me that there’s a big difference between “wishing” for a peaceful birth and intentionally preparing for one.

Wishing sounds like, “I’ll just see how it goes.” Preparation sounds like, “I want to understand my body, my options, and the support I’ll need as the birth process progresses and unfolds.” Both come from a good heart, but only one tends to carry a mother through labor with steadiness even when sensations intensify or challenges arise.

Preparing doesn’t mean controlling outcomes, it means learning how birth works, knowing your choices before you’re asked to make them, and inviting your support team into the process so you’re not carrying the weight alone. It builds confidence, not because everything is going to go perfectly, but because you are grounded, informed, and supported no matter your story!

Everyone prepares for their births differently, but that’s the heart behind my childbirth education classes. My goal is to help mothers move from “wishing” for peace to walking into birth prepared for it in body, mind, and heart. March 2026 classes will be here before we know it, and if this resonates with you, I’d love to prepare together!

There is a kind of joy you can only understand after a season of hoping, waiting, more waiting. The moment you meet your baby… the first cry, the weight of them on your chest, the feeling of “there you are”! All of it carries a deep echo of fulfillment. It is the joy that only comes after hope, longing, stretching, and surrender.

Every time I have the honor of witnessing that moment, I’m reminded of another birth long ago… the moment God’s promise was fulfilled in Jesus. After generations of waiting, silence, expectation, and longing, hope finally entered the world through the beautiful, challenging, transformative process of birth. The same God who kept His promise then is the One who carries you now!

Your baby’s birth is not the same as the birth of Christ, of course, but it does whisper the same truth! God is faithful, He brings beauty & joy through the waiting, and He fulfills what He begins. He meets us in the very places where we’ve been stretched the most.

When you hold your baby for the first time, you’re holding a promise entrusted to you. A story that was forming long before you saw it with your eyes. A reminder that every laboring mother stands in a long line of anticipation, and every birth is a little reflection of the faithfulness of God.

One of the most heartbreaking things I hear from mothers is something along these lines: “I didn’t feel like I had a say.” Not because they didn’t care deeply about their birth, or take the time to make a plan they felt peace about, but because somewhere along the way, a policy was chosen more important over a laboring mother.

Birth is not a checklist. It is not a list of protocols. It is the sacred meeting place of a mother, a baby, and the holy process unfolding between them. Far too many women walk away from their feeling like their preferences didn’t matter as much as someone else’s policies, or that their intuition was dismissed in the name of protocol.

Birth was never meant to be a list of policies managed over the mother. It was meant to be walked alongside, with the family. Your body, your story, your values, your instinctual wisdom… all of these deserve to be at the center of your care!

Autonomy isn’t about control or rebellion; it’s about partnership. It’s about honoring the God-given dignity and intelligence built into your body and spirit. When a mother seen, heard, and trusted, the whole birth space shifts. Peace settles in, safety is felt, tension loosens, trust is created, oxytocin rises, and the entire atmosphere feels different.

You deserve to be respected, heard, and empowered. Always.

The first trimester has a way of stripping things back. Morning sickness, fatigue, the fog that can settle over your harder days… it all slows you down in a way you didn’t choose.

Suddenly, the version of you who had energy, productivity, a tidy space, and predictable rhythms feels out of reach. For me, it felt disorienting, even discouraging at times, to not recognize myself. Would I ever go back to “normal”? But what if even this is an invitation to remember who you REALLY are?

Friend, your identity has never rested on what you can get done in a day. It is not defined by how energized you feel, how many to-dos get checked, how clean your house is, or how perfectly you keep up with your routine. In this slowing, in this stripping back, there is an opportunity given to us to remember the truth:

You are held, chosen, and deeply loved before you lift a finger. Your identity is in Christ. Alone.

Maybe the first trimester isn’t a setback. Maybe it’s a gentle reminder that we are not sustained by our own strength, and our worth will never be measured by our productivity. Maybe it’s an opportunity right in the very beginning to start becoming the mother we were created to be.

It’s no coincidence that blood is involved when we are birthing new life into the world.

The presence of blood in the birth process is not a mistake, accident, or sign that something is wrong. It is an echo of a story far older and far bigger than us.

From the very beginning, the greatest story of new life was written in blood, ultimate sacrifice, & surrender. The cross forever reminds us that everlasting life is born out of that sacrifice, that redemption comes through the pouring out, and that true love is revealed in the laying down of one’s life. Birth is one of the clearest mirrors of that sacred rhythm.

Every time a mother leans into the intensity, every time she surrenders what she cannot control to the Lord, every time she softens into what her body was designed to do, she steps into a reflection of the beautiful and transformative Gospel story.

The blood marks a crossing from one chapter into another, a quiet but powerful reminder that transformation is costly but never wasted. It mirrors the truth we see in Jesus: surrender and sacrifice are where real life begins. We’ve been given a gift, an invitation to witness redemption unfold in real time through the mystery and miracle of birth.

I sit with so many mothers who carry the weight of feeling like every decision they make has to be the same forever. If I'm honest, I do it too. The birth plan, the sleep plan, the feeding choices, going back to work—it can all feel SO final. But friend, motherhood isn’t built that way.

Each baby is different than the last. Each family has a different approach. Each birth story holds different challenges. Each season brings new lessons. And what feels right today might shift as you grow, learn, and see things from a different angle... and that’s okay! You don’t have to have it all figured out (because none of us do). Gather the information you need, make the choice that brings peace to your family right now, and trust that you can pivot later if needed. There’s freedom in that!

You’re not failing when you change your mind. You’re mothering with God-given wisdom and discernment.

Hey, friend. If your birth or postpartum didn’t go the way you planned/dreamed, you’ve been so heavy on my heart lately. If your birth plan “fell apart”, if things felt way harder than you imagined (me, too), if you’re still carrying pieces of guilt you can’t quite name… I want you to know this: your story is still sacred. It’s still so beautiful and precious in the Lord’s eyes.

There is no “perfect” version of birth (or motherhood). There’s only the one that unfolded for you, shaped you, stretched you, transformed you, and invited you to meet God’s grace in the middle of all the mess. The strength, love, and faith you poured into your pregnancy & labor are not diminished because it looked different from your original plan. You did holy work, and you pressed on! Release the guilt (it’s not from the Lord). You’re doing beautifully, friend.

There’s a big difference between hoping for a positive birth and preparing for one. Hope says, “I’ll see what happens.” Preparation says, “I’ll learn, I’ll pray, I’ll surround myself with the right people, and I’ll trust what my body was created to do.”

Preparation doesn’t guarantee a specific outcome, but it is a part of leading you into peace and confidence no matter how your birth story unfolds. When you know all your options, when you understand how your body & baby work beautifully together, when you’ve invited your partner into the process of learning to support you in a new way… it changes everything.

That’s exactly what we do in my birth classes! We don’t just talk about the physical process of birth—we equip you for what’s to come in the biggest adjustment of your life. Join me in December or March for birth classes, and walk into your birth not just hoping for peace, but mentally, physically, and emotionally prepared for it! 🤍

I’ll be at the Fall Mama Mixer & Market this Saturday morning and would LOVE to see you! Whether you’re preparing for birth, freshly postpartum, or in the thick of motherhood, I can’t wait to chat. 🤍

I’ll have my Redeeming Birth table set up with resources for birth & postpartum, a little giveaway, and a space for conversation. Come share your birth story, your hopes for your next birth, or simply stop by for encouragement!

There’s something powerful about women coming together to hear one another’s stories, remembering that birth & motherhood were never meant to be walked alone.

If you’re attending, come say hi!! I’d love to meet you and hear a piece of your story. 🌿

Yesterday I asked what you wish you had known about birth before you were pregnant… and your answers did not disappoint. 🤣 Some made me laugh, some made me tear up, and all of them reminded me just how beautifully complex this season of life really is.

Birth holds it all: the holy, the hard, the hilarious, the deeply healing. It’s different for everyone, yet somehow unites us in the shared work of motherhood. Thank you for being honest, vulnerable, and funny all at once!! Your stories & words are helping redeem the way women see birth, one conversation at a time. 🤍

If you didn’t get a chance to share, I’d love to hear from you in the comments!! What’s something you wish you’d known before birth? 💭
