Biblical Truths For A God-Centered Birth
Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Tip #1 - Meditate on God's word
There's a lot of information out there. Trust in the Lord, meditate on His word. Put them up around your house to be reminded of truths in moments of weakness and doubt.
Romans 12:2 (KJV)
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Tip #2 - Ask questions, DO NOT blindly trust your doctor.
Doctors can give recommendations but cannot "Force" you to do anything. Seek the Lord, ask questions and research before agreeing to anything!
Keep in mind 2 Chronicles 16:12 (KJV) and Asa, in the thirty and ninth year of his reign, was diseased in his feet until his disease was exceeding great. Yet in his disease he sought not the Lord, but the physicians.
"Informed consent to medical treatment is fundamental in both ethics and law. Patients have the right to receive information and ask questions about recommended treatments so that they can make well-considered decisions about care." – AMA Code Of Medical Ethics
Tip #3 - Make sure your provider is supportive
Your doctor works for you. If they make you feel uncomfortable pick another provider. You do not have to submit yourself to callousness or coercion. Do not be afraid to change your provider.
Tip #4 - Listen to Positive Birth Stories
There are some wonderful birth podcasts out there as well as Facebook groups where you can connect with other mothers. Take advantage of those as you prepare to give birth to your little miracle.
Tip #5 - Reach out to a Doula
