051 | How Home Birth Can Offer Freedom and Peace Of Mind (with Jeni and John Davis)
Manage episode 433812080 series 3506202
A last minute 66 hour induction at 37 weeks is not exactly what John and Jeni had planned for their daughter’s birth, but their naïvety of being young, first-time parents got the better of them. From the moment they got home from their nearly week long stay at the hospital, Jeni was already planning the redemptive second birth she knew God had for her, but this time, with open hands for His will to be done and not hers. Hear how their son’s birth was a complete one-eighty from their daughter’s, and why choosing to have him at home was what they feel like God intended for them all along.
