  • When God’s “No” Saved My Life: Placenta Accreta Birth Story
    Sometimes God’s “no” feels like a door slamming in your face until you realize it was actually His protection. In today’s episode I share my second birth story, including an undiagnosed placenta accreta, a hemorrhage, a trip to the OR for a D&C, and the surprising way being in the hospital (instead of a birth center) likely saved my life. I also talk about how this impacts our family’s future and exactly how we’re handling postpartum NFP with the Marquette Method (plus PDG confirmation).What’s inside:- The long start–stop labor and my water breaking at midnight- Pain tools that helped (birth comb, counter pressure, tub)- Baby’s delivery… and when everything changed in the 3rd stage- OR, D&C, and what undiagnosed placenta accreta actually means- Endometriosis + septate uterus and why that matters- Hospital vs. naturopathic tension and why I land in the messy middle- Our postpartum NFP plan: Marquette + PDG confirmation (and why strict = merciful)The big takeaway: when God’s “no” protects your life (or your soul)Shop the NEW Unapologetically Catholic™ merch line...wear your faith boldly!
