10. Why Understanding Hospital Protocols Matters in Any Natural Birth

Épisode 10

lundi 16 février 2026 • Durée 15:06

If you're planning a natural birth in the hospital, understanding hospital policies and protocols is one of the most important things you can do to prepare.

In this episode, we talk about:

Why “going with the flow” without preparation can increase stress and interventions
How hospital default policies influence birth (IVs, monitoring, movement, food, cervical checks, newborn procedures, and more)
Why understanding routine vs. medical necessity changes everything
The powerful question to ask your provider that reveals their birth philosophy
How to use your birth plan as a communication tool
Why your husband or support person must understand your preferences too
How preparation reduces fear and why that matters physiologically
The role of prayer, discernment, and flexibility in birth decisions

Hospitals have a default flow. If you don’t intentionally speak into that flow, it will carry you along with it.

This episode is not about being combative; it’s about being informed, calm, and confident. Preparation allows you to advocate respectfully, reduce fear, protect your oxytocin flow, and approach your birth with clarity and peace.

If you’ve ever felt nervous about asking questions or worried about being “too picky,” this episode is for you.

9. Perinatal Mental Health, Birth Trauma & Support with Paige Head of Crescent Counseling & Consulting LLC

Épisode 9

lundi 9 février 2026 • Durée 47:33

In this episode, I’m joined by Paige Head, licensed therapist and owner of Crescent Counseling & Consulting, to talk honestly about postpartum mental health, birth trauma, expectations, and the kind of support moms actually need.

Paige shares her own story of traumatic birth, postpartum depression and anxiety, and how God used those experiences to shape her calling to serve women in every phase of motherhood...from trying to conceive to postpartum and beyond.

We discuss:

Why unmet expectations can deeply impact mental health in pregnancy and postpartum
How trauma is defined by nervous system response, not just medical events
The difference between “baby blues” and postpartum mood disorders
Why support (or lack of it) can change everything
How to ask better questions when supporting new moms
Why accepting help is not failure
How faith, connection, and community play a role in healing

This conversation is compassionate, grounded, and deeply validating for any mom who has ever wondered, “Am I allowed to feel this way?”

Welcome to Rise: A Christian Birth Podcast.

This trailer introduces the heart behind the podcast and who it’s for: pregnant Christian women who want to prepare for birth with confidence, wisdom, and trust in the Lord...without being ruled by fear.

Hosted by childbirth educator, doula, and mom of three Mannah Liu, Rise blends practical birth education with biblical truth to help you understand how the body and mind work together in labor, how fear impacts birth, and how to prepare for natural or unmedicated birth in a grounded, faith-filled way.

This podcast isn’t about chasing a perfect birth or ignoring real risks.
It’s about preparing with wisdom, confidence, and trust so fear doesn’t have the loudest voice in the room.

If you’re a first-time mom, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or longing for more peace as you approach birth, you’re in the right place.

8. Which Hospital in Atlanta is Best for Natural Birth?

Épisode 8

lundi 2 février 2026 • Durée 11:36

Expectant parents often ask, “What’s the best hospital in Atlanta for a natural birth?” hoping for a clear, reassuring answer. But in this episode, we unpack why that question may be oversimplifying something far more complex.

I share why I don’t rank or recommend specific hospitals, even though some have better reputations than others, and what actually matters more than the hospital name on your chart. Drawing from real client experiences and my observations as a Christian birthworker, we talk about why two people can give birth in the same hospital and have completely different experiences.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why hospitals aren’t monolithic and why reputation alone can be misleading
How putting too much stock in finding the "right" hospital can actually work against you
How provider philosophy, nurse support, and unit conditions impact labor
Why preparation (mental, emotional, spiritual, and educational) matters everywhere

If you’re planning a natural birth in the Atlanta area (or anywhere) and feeling pressure to “pick the right hospital,” this episode will help you reframe the decision with clarity, stewardship, and peace.

Scripture referenced:

John 16:33
Proverbs 4
Luke 14:28-29

7. What Happens Right After Birth: 6 Things No One Tells You

Épisode 7

lundi 26 janvier 2026 • Durée 16:10

Most birth preparation focuses on labor and pushing but very few parents are truly prepared for what happens immediately after the baby is born.

In this episode, we walk through the first minutes and hours after birth and talk about what is normal, what is routine, and where you may have options. For many moms, this phase feels confusing or overwhelming...not because anything went wrong, but because no one explained what to expect.

This is a practical, educational episode covering:

Why birth doesn’t end when the baby is born
The physiology and importance of immediate skin-to-skin contact
What happens during the delivery of the placenta (the third stage of labor)
Common sensations after birth, including shaking, bleeding, and exhaustion
Fundal checks and why they’re done
Newborn procedures and how to protect the “golden hour”
The emotional whiplash that can happen after birth (and why it’s normal)

The goal of this episode is not to create fear, but to replace uncertainty with understanding so you can prepare for this phase of birth with the same intentionality you bring to labor.

Resources & Research Mentioned:

Cochrane Review: Strong evidence supports skin-to-skin contact after birth
WHO: Immediate skin-to-skin care for newborn survival
UNICEF: Research on skin-to-skin contact
Evidence Based Birth: The third stage of labor and Pitocin

6. How to Break the Fear-Tension-Pain Cycle with Faith and Practical Tools

Épisode 6

lundi 19 janvier 2026 • Durée 11:10

Fear of labor pain can create a cycle that makes contractions feel more intense: the fear-tension-pain cycle. In this episode, we break down exactly what that cycle is, why it matters, and how to stop it before it controls your labor.

You’ll learn:

How fear physically affects your body during labor
Practical tools to release tension and breathe through contractions
Faith-based strategies that actually impact your nervous system
How to prepare now so fear doesn’t dominate your birth experience

If you’ve ever worried that fear will take over your labor or wondered how to stay calm and confident when the pain hits, this episode is for you.

Scripture referenced:

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.”

Psalm 34:4 "I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears."

Isaiah 26:3 "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you."

5. 5 Daily Habits Every Pregnant Christian Can Use to Nourish Body and Soul

Épisode 5

lundi 12 janvier 2026 • Durée 15:12

Pregnancy is physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental...all at the same time. If you’re preparing for birth, it’s not enough to only focus on nutrition and physical preparation. Your heart and soul need care too.

In this episode, I share five simple daily habits every pregnant Christian can use to nourish both body and soul while preparing for labor. These practices are meant to be realistic, gentle, and sustainable even in busy seasons of life.

We cover:

Why Scripture and prayer matter for birth preparation
How intentional movement supports both your body and your mindset
Daily surrender as an antidote to fear and control
Nourishing your body in a way that honors God
Ending the day with reflection and gratitude

These habits aren’t about perfection or adding pressure. They’re about showing up consistently, building trust in God, and creating a foundation of peace that carries into labor and birth.

Scripture referenced:

Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.”

1 Corinthians 6 “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you? Therefore honor God with your body.”

3. 4 Things to Remember When You're the Only One in Your Circle Planning a Natural Birth

Épisode 3

lundi 29 décembre 2025 • Durée 12:32

Planning a natural birth can feel isolating...especially when you’re the only one in your circle choosing to go unmedicated.

Galatians 1:10 "Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ."

In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the mom who feels misunderstood, questioned, or quietly discouraged by friends, family, or coworkers who don’t share her birth goals. If you’re tired of justifying your choices or wondering if you’re being unrealistic, this conversation is for you.

We cover four key reminders to help you stay grounded and confident:

Why you don’t need everyone’s approval
Where true confidence actually comes from
When and how to limit what you share with others
How to find support even if no one close to you “gets it”

This episode will help you protect your peace, strengthen your conviction, and remember that you are not alone...and you are not wrong for wanting a natural birth.

2. The #1 Way a Biblical Approach to Birth Differs from US Culture

Épisode 2

lundi 29 décembre 2025 • Durée 12:08

How does a biblical approach to birth differ from the way U.S. culture views it?

In this episode, we explore the key difference between fear-driven birth decisions and faith-filled, God-centered stewardship. Too often, U.S. culture treats birth as a high-risk event to control, leading to anxiety, rigid plans, and unnecessary interventions.

We discuss:

How fear and control shape US birth statistics
What Scripture says about trust, stewardship, and surrender in pregnancy
Practical ways to prepare for birth without letting fear dominate your decisions
Aligning your heart, mind, and birth plan with God’s design

Learn to approach birth with peace, intentional preparation, and trust in God’s sovereignty and discover how Scripture can guide you to walk through pregnancy and labor with confidence.

Scripture referenced:

2 Timothy 1:7 "for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control."

Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”

1 Chronicles 29:11 – “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.”

Scripture references to loving the Lord your God with all your heart/soul/mind/strength: Deuteronomy 6:5, Matthew 22:37, Mark 12:30, Luke 10:27

Proverbs 19:20 "Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future."

Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."

Isaiah 26:3 "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you."
