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!

I’m so excited to share our recent birth story with you! I had asked God for an easy, daytime, two-hour labor filled with laughter, and He answered every one of my prayers! Truly every part of this birth was such a gift from Him and I was in awe afterward of how He showed up.
I pray that my story encourages your heart to know that birth doesn’t have to be full of toil and labor, but that with God, it truly can be full of ease, joy, and peace. He is a good, good Father who will meet you in your own unique way during your own birth and give you exactly what you need!

Natalie shares the fun details of her birth like picking up flowers and plant for their baby on the way to the hospital, but also the hard moments when the pain got to be more than she could bear. And then the glorious moment when God’s peace and presence filled her car on the way to the hospital and how He gave her a pain-free experience for the rest of the birth! Her story will inspire your heart, encourage your faith, and bring joy and laughter to your day. Be blessed!

Alexis headed into her pregnancy believing God for a supernatural pain-free birth. She meditated on His promises and made declarations from Scripture daily. And she used those Scriptures and declarations as weapons when attack hit her throughout the pregnancy. And when labor started, she absolutely experienced the fulfillment of all the promises she had been standing on and believing for. She experienced a beautiful, pain-free, supernatural waterbirth filled with worship and God's presence. And not only that, but the baby surprised them all at the end by coming out breech! Alexis didn't even know until after the birth that she had birthed her breech because the midwives didn't want to alarm her while she was pushing. God's goodness and faithfulness surround this birth story in so many ways! I pray you are blessed by it!
