## Resource

This week I'm joined by Amy, one of my former doula clients, for her very first podcast — and it is such an honor to share her story with you. Amy walks us through two miscarriages, the holistic root-cause care that helped her family heal in between, and the beautifully unusual, deeply prayerful birth of her son, Andrew. From a centuries-old Marian devotion to a hospital room filled with Gregorian chant and prayer intentions for other women still waiting — Amy's story is a picture of what it looks like to hold suffering and hope together. Episode Highlights Amy's story of two early losses — her son Gabriel and daughter Kiara — and the question of "is this the cross the Lord has for me?" Why she and her husband Chris sought root-cause fertility care right away instead of waiting for "recurrent" loss criteria The Our Lady of La Leche devotion — a centuries-old prayer for conception — and finding out she was pregnant ten days after starting it Navigating hyperemesis gravidarum, a broken foot, and a bucket-list trip to Italy in the third trimester Building a birth team: a holistic OB, a low-intervention hospital-based OB, and a doula Inside the birth: 30 hours of quiet labor, a mid-labor nurse switch, and 3.5 hours of pushing Offering up each contraction and push as a prayer intention for other women walking through infertility Amy's encouragement for women healing after loss, and for women preparing for birth Resources & Links: ✨”Husband-Coached Childbirth: The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth” by Robert A Bradley and Ashley Montagu ✨”Made for This: The Catholic Mom's Guide to Birth” by Mary Haseltine ✨ Hallow Prayer App ✨ Join Fertility Framework : If you're ready for deeper support, personalized cycle guidance, and faith-filled encouragement, come join me inside…
