This first time mama was literally the epitome of patience & trusting in God’s timing. Her baby was born 15 days past their due date! She did it unmedicated despite: 💊being induced 👶her baby being on the larger side 🤦baby having a compound nuchal hand This mama was so calm throughout the entire process. Even smiling towards the end. I’m so proud of all the work she did to get her baby here safely!

Yesterday I had the honor to support such a sweet family! It was the wildest of 3rd birth wild card births I’ve ever seen! Everything was perplexing & nothing was what it seemed. An Alice in Wonderland-ish birth🤔
But despite all of the curveballs this mama faced she remained strong & endured through prayer & trust in God. It was beautiful to witness her faith!

This is important to know. I’ve actually heard that a local hospital is pushing OBs to schedule more inductions bc it’s too hard to staff unmedicated births. That right there should prove to the public that it’s not all about individualized care. You need to ask questions now & be prepared to leave a provider who just does inductions for other reasons than true medical concerns. Your health & your baby’s health depends on it,

Today, about one‑third of U.S. moms are induced — the highest rate ever recorded. Induction is no longer the exception; it’s becoming the default in many hospital systems.This dramatically reshapes the natural timing of birth and the public’s perception of what’s “normal.”
It also explains why so few hospital births go past 40 weeks — policy, not physiology, is driving the curve.
