Birth In God's Presence

Libby: Beautiful VBAC after Three C-Sections

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 10:57:36 +0000

During her fourth pregnancy, the Lord told Libby He had something different for her in this birth. A VBAC after three C-sections! Though she didn't know many stories of women doing this, she trusted the Lord's leading and found a doctor willing to assist her with a VBAC.

Throughout her pregnancy, God helped her overcome her fears and met her each step of the way. He then gave her a surprising and beautiful birth story and VBAC! Though it didn't go exactly how she had planned it, the Lord had something even better in store for her and touched many lives through their story. As she shares in this episode, "He had every detail worked out even before the foundation of the world." I pray you are so encouraged by Libby's fun and beautiful story!

09| Alexis: A Supernatural Pain-Free Homebirth!

Wed, 04 Jan 2017 19:15:14 +0000

Alexis made most of the decisions for her first birth out of fear. But for her second birth, she determined to trust God through the whole process and to listen to Him instead of fear. She trained her body to abide in His peace and joy throughout the pregnancy and believed Him for a supernatural, wonderful birth in His presence. Enjoy listening to her share about her beautiful, almost completely pain-free homebirth with Him that changed her and her family's life forever! He is so good and faithful! You can connect with Alexis on Facebook by looking up Alexis Fedor (she lives in Redding). And here are the resources she recommends: Holy Spirit Labor Relaxation Album – (you get this for free when you take my Kingdom Childbirth Class mentioned below) - An album full of Scriptures to soak to and relaxation exercises with the Holy Spirit to prepare you for a beautiful birth with God. Use it to prepare during pregnancy, and then listen to it during labor as well! Kingdom Childbirth Class – This is my birth class that Alexis took that set her free from fear and transformed her thinking about birth and how to invite God into the whole process. It's a birth class that empowers you naturally and spiritually to birth your baby in God's joy and presence! The Bible – So important to get God's words and truth for your birth into your mind and heart! The Scripture Alexis was standing on is 1 Timothy 2:15 "But women will be saved through childbearing." The word "saved" here is "sozo" which means: to be kept safe and sound, rescued from injury, peril, and disease, and restored to health and made whole." So powerful that this is God's promise to us through childbearing! And that's exactly what she experienced! For a whole list of Scriptures like this to stand on for your birth, join the Kingdom Birth Class or get the Holy Spirit Labor Relaxation Album! I pray you're so blessed by this episode! Much Love, Kierra

After three C-sections, Jaimie heard the Lord inviting her to trust Him for a VBAC with her 4th baby. It was a scary and lonely road at times when others didn't support her or understand, but God was so faithful through it all.
