Homemaking in Labor | Birth Vlog with 5th Natural Birth

Sharing what I wish all women knew about birth.

✨✨FREE PREGNANCY CLASS✨✨
How to Have a Better Birth Experience

Christian Natural Birth Course:
This course is for any woman who wants to learn how to weave her faith into her physical and mental preparation.

What Amie said after taking Labor Without Fear:
"I was hesitant to buy the Labor Without Fear course because I stumbled upon it so late in my pregnancy but it was such a great decision. It's the perfect amount of information.There were several phrases I picked up on from Lana that I just clung to during my labor. It was nothing short of beautiful and this course really helped me achieve my goal to stay focused on meeting my baby. I was even able to console my fearful husband between contractions because he was worried the midwife wouldn't make it! (Luckily for him she did :) I felt so mentally strong and empowered!! And I know it's because I put some extra work in with this course and worked on surrendering the whole thing to the Lord!"

What a blessing this video is! Thank you for taking the time to make it and share. I’m 35 weeks with baby number 3 and looking forward to (Lord willing) a smooth, beautiful home birth and meeting my first daughter in a matter of weeks. ❤️

Such a beautiful video! Thank you for changing the narrative and encouraging women to trust God to be their strength and guide through birth.

Thank you so much for this video! The most beautiful and inspiring one I've seen. I'm 27 weeks pregnant of my first child, and I'm preparing for a natural birth, in the water, without intervention because, yes, I trust my body and the baby, and I'm made for it. We women were made for it. You really inspired me! Thanks.

Thank you for this! I’m currently 35 weeks with my fourth and have been trying to get mentally prepared. My first was stillborn on his due date due to a knot in the cord and I have struggled with fear in all of my pregnancies and births. This will be my last and I’m determined to have a faith-filled, redemptive birth experience. This video was beyond encouraging!

I just gave birth 12 weeks ago, and seeing your birth vlogs... I wasn't to be pregnant again just to give birth. I'm so obsessed with taking about childbirth. I truly love it. And like you said, birth doesn't have to be something to get done quick and be over with.. surrendering to the pain and bring in worship is so beautiful 😍

Today I’m 41 weeks and 1 day with baby number 5. This video left me in tears. I needed these reminders so much! Thank you. ❤

This was so encouraging to me Lana! I am 38 weeks pregnant and anxiously awaiting the birth of our third. Thank you for sharing this. It really helped me think about my mindset as I go into labor. Makes me cry thinking of when my sweet boys will meet my little baby girl.

I’m due in 2 months Amen sister I’m definitely leaning on Jesus for this husband and I are first time parents we’re both 25 💕

This video is so encouraging. I am planning my first homebirth in August, second birth, and I love watching biblical videos around natural birth. Thank you! God bless!

This is the best, faith-filled birth story I've ever watched! This is exactly how I "plan" on my fourth home birth going in September, Lord-willing! My 8yo son, 6yo & 4yo daughters all want to be present, but especially our son. I have been slowly talking with them about what to expect when with labor & delivery, and today I started showing them some (pre-screened) videos of peaceful home births, which only made them more excited! My "best, " easiest birth was, by far, my now 6yo, who came a week "early" so I didn't have all the things ready and my husband & I did a lot of prep work until I couldn't focus on anything but the contractions. Everything progressed so much faster, transition was quick - I didn't even have the "I can't do this!" moments as I did with #1 & #3 - so we called the midwife a little late... By the time they got there I had already been reflexively pushing for maybe 15 min....baby was born 10 min later! Keeping busy in early labor is Absolutely the key! I have a To-do list and activity list written down for when real labor starts. It's in order of getting everything ready first, then just either keeping busy by doing projects, baking, walking, taking a shower, dancing, making love with my husband (while the kids are asleep or watching a movie....and how far depends on if my water has broken), watching a funny movie/videos (keep the oxytocin flowing!), etc!

I'm due with my 3rd next week, hoping to have a completely new labor experience vs my first two. Thank you for this video and your faithful encouragement!

[layne]

This is the most encouraging birth video I have watched. Just sharing the honesty of hesitation helped me tremendously because that’s currently where my headspace is at being 37 weeks with baby#4. For the entire pregnancy I’ve had nothing but happy anticipation and lately it’s just been filled with anxiety and the way you did this video was so incredibly encouraging.

[smithn.wesson]

This video is so impressive in so many ways. I honestly have no idea how Lena can do so much homemaking, care taking of her children and other housework while in hard labor and having contractions.

[rkfernandez]

Beautiful! Very inspiring mindset for labor. I've been watching positive birth stories in prep for my home birth with my fourth. 39 weeks today and been getting in my head a bit anticipating. This was very encouraging video.

[sophiagodine]

So encouraging for walking through hard seasons, even though I’m not in a season of birthing babies!

[christyconner]

Thank you for sharing this and how it’s affected your faith! As I was watching one of your other videos about Corey‘s birth, I was taking some of the things that you were saying and filling out my birth plan today. I’ve got 2 1/2 months left and I’ve been pretty scared about this one. Thank you for your encouragement! I think God has used you and your story!

[AnnaWinestock-fp]

so glad I found your channel! had a really hard first birth and really excited to shift for next time and enjoy being strong and empowered and at rest in the Lords faithful arms

[realtalkwithrebecca]

Thank you for sharing your inspirational video! I am 39 weeks with baby number 7, homeschooling, homemaking etc. i NEEDED to see this! ❤ We birth at home and it feels like the more we have the less prepared i am in some ways and more prepared in others! Enjoy your blessings❤

[kaseybohn]

Loved this video! What a treasure this will be for your children to watch one day!! ❤
