55 - Trusting Birth Through Shoulder Dystocia: 3 Powerful Unmedicated Stories (feat. Shannon)
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Shannon, The Hart Doula, to unpack her powerful testimony of walking through three shoulder dystocia births—all unmedicated and out of the hospital.
➡️ Her first birth happened at a birth center, after she recovered from a month-long hospitalization with COVID pneumonia. Her second and third were both home births, with her final baby weighing in at 10.5 pounds. And in every single one, she experienced God’s presence, protection, and peace, even in the face of unexpected challenges.
Whether you’re a birth nerd, a doula, or a mom preparing for your own delivery, this episode will strengthen your trust in your body, in birth, and in the God who designed both. Shoulder dystocia is often talked about with a lot of fear, but understanding it and having a peaceful, knowledgable team to support you is key when it comes to avoiding trauma even in hard, unexpected things.
