319: Sofia’s Birth Story: Our Dream Faith-Filled Home Birth After C-Section

In this episode, I’m sharing Sofia’s incredible birth story, and how God provided me with truly everything I’ve ever wanted in a birth. After two very different births with my boys (one ending in an unexpected C-section and another full of surrender and faith), this home birth felt like everything coming full circle. From the moment labor began to the second I held her in my arms, I could see God’s hand over every single detail.

You’ll hear all about the final days leading up to Sofia’s birth, when I was trying to balance faith and patience while waiting for labor to begin. I share how I prepared my heart and home, the ways I sensed God guiding me through my fears, and even how my midwife’s gentle encouragement helped me rest and trust His timing. I also walk through her actual birth story… including what it was like to realize things were moving fast, how supported I felt by my husband and birth team, and the calm presence that filled our home that day (even with our boys home!).

This episode is full of answered prayers, quiet miracles, and reminders that God cares about every part of our story, even the smallest details of birth. Whether you’re preparing for your own home birth after a C-section (HBAC), a VBAC,  hoping to experience peace after a difficult birth, or simply love hearing stories of faith and motherhood, I hope Sofia’s story encourages you the way it has encouraged me. I feel incredibly grateful to be able to share it with you.
