POSITIVE Birth Story - How God Helped Me During My Labor

Every time I look down at Woodrow I am reminded of how God is so Faithful & Merciful. I could not have made it through my pregnancy and labor without God. If you are an expecting mama, don't let the enemy fill you with fear and anxiety, you were built to birth and God will be there to help you every step of the way! Thanks for watching and God bless you 💙

Corrie, I will soon be 62. I wasn’t able to have children. I was heartbroken. God had another plan for me. He gave me an awesome son who need me! I adopted him when he was 18 months old through DSS. He is now 35! He’s been the best gift God has ever given me. You and Katie are so beautiful inside and out! God is good all the time!! ❤️🙏😊

[@valerieoberstadt6818]

When I had my twins, they were my first also, but they came 7 weeks early. My labor was 12 hours start to finish, but had to be induced after about 3 hours. My greatest memory was that I could hear someone singing and I asked my husband who was singing. He said there's a lady sitting in the corner in a rocking chair. The doctors and nurses said, there's no one there! However, he saw her and I heard her. We know now it was an Angel. Three days before I went to the hospital, i went to church with my sister, and a lady from my sister's church came up to me and asked if she could pray with me and over my babies. We never told her I was having twins! She prayed and then gave me a word from the Lord and said, "Daughter, do mot fear, I am with you! For I will send YOUR Angel to be with you to give you peace and comfort and to sing over you and over your baby boys!" I never told her I was having boys either! She sang Jesus Loves Me, and Amazing Grace. Everytime my son's heard those songs, after they were born, they melted and would cry. Someone gave me a music box that played Jesus Loves Me, for my Baby shower, I would play it and their bottom lip would pooch out and crocodile tears just welled up in their eyes. The Lord told me that was the song they heard right before they were put into my womb, because they have a calling on them. Even to this day they cry when they hear those songs. So glad for you and Austin. Corie, I think every Mom can tell you stories of their children's births, regardless if it was 2 weeks ago or 30 years ago. In my case it was 30 years ago! 😊

[@JoyceAlgofaidi]

When I gave birth to my first daughter a resident wound up delivering her because my Doctor didn't make it to the hospital in time. I was only in the hospital for about 45 minutes when she started to arrive. I remember hearing a nurse tell the resident in charge that he needed to scrub because he was going to have to do the delivery since my doctor wasn't there yet and he told her he had never delivered a baby by himself before and she said "Well you're going to tonight". Didn't exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling, but in the end I had a beautiful baby girl who is now 57 and I think the resident that did the delivery was proud because it was his "first" delivery on his own.

[@jillakison3638]

My Mamaw gave birth to 12 babies. She lived in Kentucky in the Appalachias. All were home births with Granny doctors except the last one which was delivered in the doctors office. All of them lived to be elderly and had good lives. I don't see how she was able to do that. She was a beautiful religious woman and I loved her soo much. ❤🙏

Don’t even know if I should even comment on this, cause I’m an old geezer Okie man , but here goes… you 2 identical twin mothers are great examples that every parent would want their daughters or granddaughters to grow up and be like. I spend time with you girls and mom and dad every night , so you guys are family. I give a lot of Credit to those 2 popsicle lick’n yard birds on how you girls turned out to be, “mom and dad”. Lol. Good job Corie, I’m sure this will help a lot of young ladies when the time comes delivering their newborn babies.

Oh my gosh, that little baby grunt he’s making at the end.. I remember that sound so well. My youngest baby is 32 now. You never forget the sounds and smells of your babies.

[@KILO-uv2wi]

Hi Corie, I have to be honest, I’ve spent a few days skipping over this video. I’m a 58 yo momma of three and a mimi of 9 beautiful grandchildren, so I know all about labor and delivery lol. After watching your video I’m impressed upon by the Lord to let you know how much this video has blessed me. The words spoken, the verse’s referenced have hit my head and my heart in a most profound way. I am 16 days out from a lymph node excision to be tested for possible lymphoma. Two previous biopsies were inconclusive. I’m trying so hard to be brave and of course am trying to stay in control of my thoughts, emotions and feelings, but I know I don’t have to! You are so right! I only have to surrender and call on my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and He will be with me. He will calm and comfort me. He will help me to be strong through this process of the procedure, the waiting, and the possible extremely difficult diagnosis. I DO trust Him and I DO surrender to Him. I pray Jesus goes before me and guides me through, no matter what the future holds. Thank you so much again for blessing me through your words and may God continually bless you, Austin and precious baby Woodrow. ❤

[@thepressleygirls]

Friend, first of all I will be praying for you. I am so glad the video was a blessing, all Glory to God ❤️. Two things can be true at the same time, you can feel nervous but also Trust in God. I believe one can have Faith but also feel nervous at the same time, all that matters is that the Faith overrules the feelings if that makes sense. He will go before you and guide you and hold you in the palm of his hand friend. I believe based on 1 John 4:4, there is no task greater than us, because we have God in us ❤️

[@debbieriddle9429]

I birthed 2 babies who are grown now. My first was Natural...my second, C-Section...he too was sunny side up. Never could dilate over 1 cm. After many hours of labor. I was so sick when I went n labor, with an awful cold, could hardly breathe. There's no shame in any birth. One morning about 4 months after my Mama went to Heaven, I was grieving so bad. I walked to my kitchen window, the trees, bushes, ground, looked like a carpet of Red Cardinals...my Mama's favorite bird. I was in Awe. I cried, then I cried and smiled. God Sent those Cardinals to me that morning when I was grieving to Comfort me. To this day, I have Never again seen anything even close to what happened that morning. God has my Mama...what a Blessing. He Cares for whatever we are going through. If it hurts us, it hurts Him. He Is The Comforter. God Bless you, Austin, and Woody.

[@pam7500]

How beautiful! I believe God does help us in times of grief to comfort us. When my daughter passed, I took over the care of her little min-pen. We became very close. When he passed, I couldn't stop grieving. I was very depressed. One evening, my husband and I were leaving for church, and we spotted a little Yourkie in a ditch. Every time a car would pass by, this Yourkie would run out of the ditch like she was looking for the car of the people who dropped her off. We picked her up and brought her home, and, boy, have we been blessed and comforted!😊😊😊 She is such a sweet little thing. God cared about me to send her to us. I praise him for His mercy.

Thank you for your birth story. I am 73 year old woman of 4 daughters, 8 grandchildren and my first great-grandchild was born yesterday! Birthing a child is definitely a miracle. It definitely changes a woman to give birth. I was so touched by your honest and sincere birth story. Amen to all you shared with us. Thank you!!!!

[@sharonhooks9071]

Corie, my first grandson was sunny side up. My daughter like you labored hours on end, he was 6 lbs 6 oz. He absolutely was my heart. When she got pregnant again on birth control she cried and did not want to go through childbirth again . My second grandson was 9 lbs/ 15 oz, she pushed twice and there he was. I didn’t think I could love another the same as my first grandson, but God just increases the size of my heart and they have been our lives for 31 years. Every child birth is different, God is always with you. Sending love and prayers.❤️🙏

[@sharonbrown9577]

Absolutely beautiful. My oldest son came 6 weeks early . I was in a car wreck flipping my car end over end. He was born on Christmas Eve morning by C-section. They knicked an artery and I didn't learn how dangerous a predicament I was in until later . My sister ( a labor and delivery nurse was in on the delivery as my support) . They ended up putting her to work as she told me she was worried about the amount of blood lost. All I could think of was the thought of christmas and Jesus birth and how miraculous that was and how he saved me and my son at this time and how miraculous that was too. Many many many years later and This child is now living with me helping to take care of me in my old age. God knows how it will all play out. We give Him the glory always in the good and the bad for his timing and plan is always perfect. Thank you for sharing. .... And for Katy.... I was going through a divorce at this time. Husband decided he did not want kids...I had moved back home started my life over .......I was a single mom too . God gives grace immeasurable!!! Proud of you both !!!

oh little Woody is precious. thank you for sharing your story.

[@mamawfrancy]

Corie, In 1972 which was over a half century ago i can't say I had a wonderful experience with our first son as my labor was long & somewhat of a nightmare. Our second son born in 1978 in a different hospital was a much easier birth but I did have significant tearing with both deliveries. Our first son weighed 8 lbs 15 oz & our second 9 lbs 4 oz. It took years for the memories of my first pregnancy to fade and I PRAYED that my second delivery would be easier & thankfully it was. TY for sharing your personal birthing experience but especially your strong faith in prayer. Love U Corie.

[@catherinegardner7876]

I had 2 homebirths with a midwife. It was certainly not pain free, but I did find it comforting to be in my own home and bed. My midwife told me of a woman who she had helped birth her 6 children. She called the midwife to come. When she got there, they sat on her porch, drank lemonade, and talked. After about an hour, the woman said, “ok, I’m ready to push.” They went inside, the woman was fully dilated, and pushed the baby out without a sound! Amazing!! Yours is a lovely birth story. ♥️

Sounds like my second birth. Chatted with the doula in between contractions. Wasn't intense until the last 2 hours.

He wants us to give Him our all, just like a little child loves, trusts, depends on their parents. Makes me think of the song that says, How I trust Him more & more! He truly is faithful to His word & to us, His children! Praise God!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony of our living God being with you & Austin & your precious baby boy!

THAT'S when God (or the Light, or Grace,, or Spirit) cares for you and delivers you and honestly, there's nothing lovelier or more powerful. Thank you SO MUCH for your amazingg telling. Your experience is why I chose to be a doula, why I chose to go into homes and be helpful wherever I could.

As someone who had 3 out 4 births(1st was a csection) with zero pain meds I always tell mamas get your head to the top of the hospital headboard and let gravity do the rest. It saved me each time and dilated faster. Staying calm and yes, God built you to do this. I'm totally teary-eyed. View it in a positive mind set but lord, I wish more youtube channels would stop with pain-free births. It isn't reasonable and birth is going to hurt. Drives me crazy. I'm so happy for you. Woody is such a blessing and for a first time mom, you went in there with some serious strength. I'm in awe.

[@NancyWright-b8y]

What a testimony for the Lord!! Today just happens to be the birthday, 24 years ago, my daughter gave birth to her first baby. The similarities. She was sunny side up… mama strep b positive… but ended up being a c section. My daughter was at a 9 for 4 hrs. Talk about tough. The bonding time with her was so special. And I kept reminding her when she would start the contraction that it was coming. She slept in between. She was so scared the contraction would overtake her and she was too tired to watch the monitors. So I was there to say.. okay sweetie, it’s time so she could get her breathing prepared and when contraction would start easing she would fall back asleep. I would say… that’s as bad as it will be and she knew she could handle it. God was so real. Right there…… your story just happened to be on this special day for me. I was one praying for you. I would check my phone periodically to see if you were in labor. And all through the time I would just ask God to be with you, protect you, and give you a healthy child. Many many times. I think birth first of all is a miracle that I experienced 3 times. So this 75 yr old Grannie is so happy for you and Austin, and the rest of your family, Katie and little Ira. I watch all your programs, your parents gardening together. I live in NC as well near TN border. Brings memories of me being able to do things….. I’m disabled now and live my life through others. It helps me hang on. Your faith and love for God, how you see Him in all things really shows and makes me so happy. May God continue to bless Austin and you with Woody. You’re in for the most precious journey. And responsibility to raise that child to honor Him. Love all you guys. You really feel like family. I do identify with y’all. God bless you

I struggled with my pregnancy and eventually confided in my nanny that there was no way I could love him like I loved my first. She giggled at me and said Honey, when you give birth, God will make more room in your heart, youll see. And she was soooo very right!

My mom was one of 11 babies that survived. My grandma would be working in the field and go in have the baby, get it situated and make sure it is OK. Strap it to her and back to the field Momma once said as a child she would be thinking, dang, we gonna have another kid. Grown she was very happy about it, but as a kid the most attention she got was bad attention when she needed correcting. Grandma was a hard woman for sure. Not sure she ever loved me. Grandpa did. I think we do no service to women putting them to bed for labor. They have to use the vacuum too much. That can cause cerebral palsy. So thankful Woodrow made it through that well. God bless

[@lueValentine]

Women (like ur gmaw) back then working in the field then giving birth and back to it were made of tough stock. No epidural, no meds…they just pushed till they couldn’t push no more.

[@RobinBlocker]

@lueValentine Yeah, they laid newspapers all over the bed to catch the mess. So she had to clean that up before going back to the field, too.

[@LoriCurtiss-xz6xm]

I’m 53 with no children and the testimony of your experience was a blessing-definitely can be inserted into many circumstances. I love that you see the length of labor and the issues at the time could appear as a “burden” (for lack of better words) was actually an answered prayer of wanting to grow in your faith. Katie praying by your bedside overwhelmed my heart-to hear family praying for each other is powerful and shows the true love only God can give someone. My prayers for all of you will continue until I leave this world. Love and hugs sent your way ❤

I had four babies, and I'm an old woman now. I want you to know how your video on your birth experience touched my heart. What a wonderful testimony! You're a precious young woman and your baby is a fortunate boy to have you. Continued blessings to you and yours.

[@thepressleygirls]

Awe, thank you friend ❤️

[@bdavis7801]

Thank you for this! He's so cute! 🥰

[@benitastevens612]

You girls have loving parents and family that are right there for you!

[@fields-n-feathers]

The confirmations of His love, mercy, and grace are more valuable to me than diamonds. Thank You for sharing all this and praise You, Jesus for orchestrating it all!❤️🙌🏼🙏🏼

You are a good, strong Woman! Always accept that you are an amazing soul.

Rejoicing with you in Woody's safe arrival!! What a precious gift from God.

[@thepressleygirls]

Amen! I couldn’t imagine a c-section. I would way rather do what I did again than have a c-section. You are one tough lady to do it 8 times. And you’re right it’s absolutely right it’s not a failure at all, I believe it’s even harder. 😁

[@lauragriffin6214]

Thank you for sharing Woodrow with us. He’s so beautiful!😍

[@RuthCollins-g1g]

I gave birth to five and all was natural no pain meds at all and they were all breach but God was there and everything was fine

[@markcraig7250]

Well once again you have knocked it out of the ball park. When you can take an old man and bring tears to his eyes talking of child birth and giving a testimonial on how our savior and Heavenly Father was so important and so real , to the point that I could actually see in my minds eye him standing beside you in that hospital room. Thank you for all you do for me, tell Austin mark says hey! And give little sunnyside a kiss for me.❤

[@thepressleygirls]

He surely was there standing beside me ❤

[@jankirschke7425]

Look at baby Woody resting in his Mama’s loving arms. Just as we are supposed to rest in our Lord’s arms throughout our life. All four of our babies were sunny side up. Of course it was difficult, but they didn’t offer epidurals 40 years ago. I would have jumped at the chance, however. A woman’s first birth is quite an experience, and there is a lot to process afterwards. I felt as though no woman had ever felt the degree of pain that I did, and that surely something was wrong. But no, that’s just how it goes. I’ll be watching to see your family grow. Congratulations to you and Austin on your sweet boy. God is good!

[@thepressleygirls]

Wow, 4 babies sunny side up. ❤

[@AnneQ-bk6wi]

My son was born sunny side up. His labor was my shortest, which is interesting considering his position. Each labor is different. I’m so glad you had your sister with you, what a blessing.

[@RM-of3bo]

What you said about that moment at the end when God helped you so much, brought a song to mind from years ago: When I come to the end of myself, O Lord you’re there. When I come to the end of all that I have and I fall on my face before Thee, I will always know that You will meet me there.

[@nenab6335]

So precious to hear sweet Woody's coos. Corie, your testimony is beautiful..warms this grandma's heart. I have told my grandson's in the hard times, all you need to do is say"Jesus". He never fails. Much love to all of you.

[@SuzieQ-lw2kp]

🦅Corie, the first thing I want to say is Thank you for letting us hear about your experience at labor and birth and second Thank you for sharing your precious baby boy Woody its such a privilege that you are allowing us to be a little part of your life and seeing your beautiful baby Woody. You are so kind and beautiful. To be able to sit and listen to your truly amazing experience bringing Woody into this world is such a honor. I'm so thankful that you shared it with us . I think this will help so many expecting moms. Yes giving birth is the most hard thing anyone will ever do but so worth it i have had two sons each birth was completely different my youngest is 31 and my miracle boy because they told me i wouldn't get pregnant again after my first and I had given up hope i was almost 4 months before myself and the doctor figured it out lol . So my boys are 8 yrs apart both born in January 18th - 23rd they both are such a blessing to me motherhood does change you thats for sure and then becoming a grandparent was so so wonderful i got to be in the room with my first grandbaby i cried so much i felt such a honor and blessing to witness. My first grandchild born he is almost 10 now and still has Nana wrapped around his finger lol. So i know from your side and your parents side it's such a beautiful thing to have children and then to see them have children i would have never thought i could love anyone as much as my son's until God Blessed me with grandbabies its so unbelievable how much our heart can grow and be filled. I always look forward to your and Katie's videos and your parents. I'm so thankful i found you all on here both your channels have sure helped me get through alot. I will binge watch you all especially at night when the pain gets so bad i don't think i can get through it but the sun comes up and i have another day on this beautiful earth to watch my birds out my window and love on my little dogs. I hope Plive is doing great and enjoying having a new addition. I know she will be by his side as he grows as a friend and protector. Please keep me in your prayers 🙏🏻 looking forward to seeing more of your videos again thank you for sharing with us 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻

[@thepressleygirls]

Praying for you friend, thank you for your kind words and friendship in our YT community 😁

@@thepressleygirls thank you for replying and sharing your experience and parts of your life journey also for praying 🙏🏻 I am in need that is for sure I appreciate you and your family. Sending love and prayers to all of you. God Bless and have a wonderful day and rest of your week. 🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻

[@Tricia1969]

Congratulations Corie. The birthing process can be a rough journey but look what the results are: A beautiful baby boy from the Lord. May God bless you, Austin and Woodrow.

[@gigievans395]

Thank you for sharing. I was a first time mom, overseas in Germany in 1985, 45 min away from any hospital military or civilian. I had taken Lamaze and was SOOOO TERRIFIED. It's wonderful to HV a forthright, honest, heart felt God fearing person sharing the truth. Bless u and your baby❤

[@bethstaggs2369]

I’m glad we don’t remember coming through the birth canal. It’s extremely stressful on the baby too ! Thankful y’all are doing beautifully!

[@ilovecats9336]

Your advice on the nitty-gritty stuff is spot on! I've had 3 deliveries. All 4 babies (set of twins in there) were ok. I was able to recover and was fine. The thing is, none of them went the way I had wanted. I had to realize the goal was to become a Mother, not to control the process. By the 3rd time my birth plan was simply to take my baby home at the end.

[@thepressleygirls]

The goal to become a mother not control the birth process, I love that ❤

[@Oldwomaninthewoods]

This is also important for those of us who are undergoing cancer treatments. Sometimes they are long treatments with pain and uncomfortableness. I imagine God’s healing arms holding me and giving me strength. God Bless all Mammas and those undergoing difficult medical procedures.

[@chelseabrandy]

Thank you. My mother has a heart issue and we welcome all prayers.

[@thepressleygirls]

Praying for you ❤

[@chelseabrandy]

Thank you girls. God bless you.

[@pioneervintagetreasures5436]

I know exactly what you are saying. My son was sunny side up. They called it star gazer. I was in labor 36 hours. God delivered us. ❤

[@melissafriedrichs4716]

Thanks for sharing! Thank you especially for your encouragement in the Lord. Currently 19 weeks pregnant with my first at 42 years old. Really having to trust in the Lord moment by moment. But I totally agree with what you said about how that doesn't really change once they are born. I have an adopted daughter i have helped raise since she was 8(now 24). I've had to trust Him the whole way. Great scripture you shared also.

[@thepressleygirls]

Congratulations! You can do it, don’t let the enemy cause you to doubt or be nervous, you were made for this Mamma, and God will go before you 😁❤️

[@DonnaAnders-w4d]

Oh my goodness Corrie how I needed to hear this message. You are such a blessing and a wonderful teacher. What a precious baby Woodrow is and I am so happy for you and Austin. I am 65 years old and facing a very serious difficult back surgery and I am so afraid 😳 there are so many things that can do wrong. I have a 100 degree curvature of my spine so I am bent over terribly, I look like a crooked old woman and they are going to try and straighten my spine by removing vertebrae and placing lots of hardware and screws so I can stand again. I have gone from 5’7 to 4’11 and in constant pain. Surgery is scheduled for July 31 and as it gets closer I just get so sick to my stomach. Your message just hit home to me this morning, everything you said seemed meant for me. Please pray I can get through this and tolerate all the therapy after. I have prayed for you and Katie and your whole family so much. God Bless your new sweet family. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@thepressleygirls]

Oh I’m so happy this video was a blessing friend ❤️. We will definitely be praying for you. God will be right there with you the whole time, and that includes now. He will bless the doctor’s hands and your recovery. Psalms 23 tells us The Lord is my Shepard and I shall not want. I believe we can claim that promise and say we lack nothing when we have Jesus and that means you’ll have the strength for this surgery and recovery. Bless you friend ❤️😁

[@lindavido7245]

Birth is definitely a miracle. Thank you for sharing your little miracle

[@HolmansHomestead]

This will help a lot of first time mamas out there. There is no doubt about it God is there during childbirth and yes the instinct kicks in. So thankful everything turned out great and prayers were answered. Woodys little noises are so sweet. God bless you all and have a blessed night.

[@johnmonty1976]

It is all a part of the story of the world he made and set up. Happy for you and your baby and family. You will never be alone.

[@melissahankins9575]

My first daughter was the same way.I was in labor for 3 days By the end , I was so exhausted that I didn't Think that I would be able to push one more time She Was sunny set up and we had to use the vacuum So I know that pain It's awful , but I did one million times over it just brought her into this world And it wasn't for God hold my hand I would have not got Through it ❤

Miss Corie, what a great mama you are already. What a great testimony of being a new mama! Very informative for all first pregnant women. Everyone has fear of the unknown. You are so right ask God for help, he is listening 🙏🙏 Congratulations on your birth journey, and your perfect little angel Woody😇

[@lynnclark4208]

Sharing the story to give GOD the GLORY due HIM.

[@myrakitchens2635]

You are a brave girl Corie, God made women tough enough to handle childbirth. Praise the Lord for your new blessing. I had a c section on my first child because labor did not go well. I did so good this way,fast recovery, perfect baby, so I decided to have my 2nd and 3rd babies with c section . All three great experiences, healthy babies and really fast recoveries.

[@JanGrimm-s2y]

Good job Corie! When I had my babies 35 and 41 yrs ago I had no pain meds or anything but I mentally zoned out! I went to another place in my head, don't remember anything going on around me until I absolutely had to push. I told the nurse I have to push, she rushed and got the Dr. And I push do hard tbe stirrups we're you put your feet went straight down! Needless to say it only took a couple pushes and it was over. God bless you all!❤

[@pathoward5721]

[@suzannebear4194]

Wow sounds like a dramatic birth so glad y'all are safe and sound now. What a precious bundle little Woody is 💙

[@kippykate9905]

Genesis tells us women we will experience pain in childbirth. God doesn’t lie. Woody is beautiful & those glorious baby sounds! One blessed mama!! God is good.

[@hereigns7221]

41 weeks is actually completely normal for a first time Caucasian mom. He wasn’t late ❤️ Right on time! So thankful you gave him all the time he needed in there. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@annesweeney5552]

I want to hear it again with Austin !THIS BIRTH STORY ! The more you have ( children) the easier and faster they come … and I found it to be some of the worst pain and ..(I’ve broken my legs as a kid )that birth pain was the easiest to forget and forgive. It’s because it came from God .Amen. I’m so excited for your new little family. God bless you, Cori and Austin and Woody.

[@chubs1701]

Great video Corrie enjoy hearing your faith about how God's help s us though all thing's in life especially brith of a child God Bless You and your family always 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@debnhim8353]

You’re so sweet. Thanks for sharing. Baby sounds so content while you were rocking him. 🥰🙋🏻‍♀️🌹

[@shelbycorey6785]

That was exactly what happened with my second baby . She was sunny side up . Labor and pushing was so hard but once she was born all was right in my world ❤

[@beckyray8746]

My daughter just gave birth to our precious little granddaughter in March. She too was sunny side up. It was a tough birth….but God is faithful! There are only a couple doctors at our hospital who would attempt her delivery….most would opt to go for a c section. As it “happened” my daughters doctor stayed with her for hours and hours but had to leave at one point and the doctor who took over was one who had experience with these births. God provided her to be there at that time.

[@thepressleygirls]

So sorry she had to go through that too. But Praise The Lord the right doctor stepped in. God can work everything out 😁

[@trishleavitt4542]

What a beautiful baby birth story. thank you for sharing.❤
