It only lasted a few seconds and I remember saying, ‘Ooh, that hurt!’. Again, I was in perfect peace and expecting a pain-free birth.Īll went well until I was about to push then I suddenly felt the most incredible pain! My second birth I went into the hospital much later, and didn’t let the doctors intervene – though I still had stitches. Did I really have no pain? Maybe the intensity of the contractions is what people call pain, I thought. I had gone into hospital in complete peace, with God’s promises strong in my mind and in my heart, and God did the miracle for me.Īfterwards, I did wonder about the pain-free bit. Yes, it was hard work and intense – especially the last hour or so of contractions, and the pushing, but it wasn’t painful. I had a catheter put in, an episiotomy performed and stitches!!īUT, praise God, through the whole process of labour and delivery I had no pain – not even with the episiotomy and stitches. The doctor burst my waters way too early – later I was put on a drip to speed up contractions. I had to lie on my back with a monitor strapped to my stomach for most of the time.

It’s good news for us women! Let me share my own childbirth stories:Īfter the birth of my first son, I was left feeling pretty traumatised! Not so much because of the birth, but because of the medical intervention.

This is explained in depth in Supernatural Childbirth. The curse that came upon women, after Eve sinned, was actually one of hard labour in childbirth, not pain (Genesis 3:16). Jesus died to save us not only from sin, but to free us from every curse, including fear, sickness and pain (Isaiah 53:4-5, Galations 3:13-14, 29 and Deuteronomy 28).Īnd, did you know that God did not curse woman with pain in childbirth? I read Supernatural Childbirth several times each pregnancy! Pregnancy and birth are meant to be wonderful God-given experiences This book is filled with God’s promises concerning conception, pregnancy and birth and testimonies from women who have experienced miracle conceptions, sickness-free pregnancies, and pain-free births! Supernatural Childbirth: Experiencing the Promises of God Concerning Conception and Pregnancy Apart from some of the storybooks I have read to my children, there is one book I’ve read more than any other:
