I\\u2019m so excited to share Ethan\\u2019s birth story with you! I\\u2019m a new mom again (and we are officially a family of four). Baby number two, Ethan Daniel McCravy, is absolutely so wonderful and amazing and it\\u2019s been fun doing this all again (but with more experience than my first go around).\\xa0

If you listened to Colin's birth episode (episode 148), you know that my birth did not go according to plan but God still showed up in so many ways. Ethan\\u2019s birth also did not go according to plan, and in fact, I ended up having an unplanned c-section, which I share all about on this podcast episode.

I really believe it\\u2019s so important to share stories like these because we often only hear birth stories that are glamourized: the \\u201cquick births\\u201d, the \\u201cunmedicated births\\u201d and \\u201cthe ones that went according to plan\\u201d. The truth is that despite parts of the birth being disappointing, I still love my birth and I believe so much of it was really beautiful.

Plus, at the end of it all, I ended up with a perfect and special baby boy! God showed up in Ethan\\u2019s birth in so many amazing ways. Thank you for holding space and caring enough to listen to this story!\\xa0

If you\\u2019re a fellow c-section mama and want some encouragement, you\\u2019ll find it in this episode! And, if a c-section really scares you and feels \\u201cworst case scenario\\u201d as you think about your own labor and delivery, then I hope this episode encourages you to see c-sections in a different light.\\xa0
