Pain Free Birth #74 | God’s Design for Birth: How Shelby Experienced a Pain-Free, Worship-Filled Labor
What happens when a labor and delivery nurse decides to trust God’s design for birth, surrender control, and experience birth the way He intended?
After seven long years of infertility and waiting on God’s timing, nurse and mama Shelby Swanton miraculously conceived her daughter and went on to experience a pain-free, supernatural, and deeply spiritual birth.
In this episode, Shelby shares her journey from years of disappointment and doubt to an ecstatic, worship-filled birth that defied everything she’d seen as a nurse in the hospital system. She opens up about her struggles with control, fear, and prodromal labor that lasted for three days, and the moment she finally surrendered to God’s plan.
This story will leave you in awe of how the body and the Holy Spirit work together in birth and how letting go can unlock the most peaceful, pain-free, and empowering experience imaginable.
