Overview

This is the first book in a series of three. In the first book, Birth Stories and Midwife Notes: In God We Trust, Marianne describe how she became a midwife and Christian, and then includes several birth stories compiled during the early years of Christian Midwife Homebirth Service. These birth stories are written by the brave women who endured different kinds of labors and births, including husbands catching their babies, and water births. The second book, Born at Home, Praise the Lord!, contains mainly birth stories and some midwife notes from the later years. It chronicles many exciting birth stories, some very detailed, some written by the husbands, and others by women patiently waiting for God to bring on their labor, but all trusting in how He has equipped the mom to give birth. The third book, Handbook to Christian Natural Childbirth, is a collection of Christian midwife handouts, diet and other tips, and general information related to childbearing. This book gives comprehensive how to instruction and midwife advice for everything moms and coaches need to know about pregnancy, birth, and beyond. These books are intended to supplement personal maternity care, especially if there is no access to a Christian Certified Nurse Midwife.

Author Information

Hello my name is Marianne Manley RN, CNM, I trained as a Nurse Midwife at the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney, Australia and graduated in 1987. I then retrained at a Nurse Midwife program affiliated with the University of San Jose, California, called EPA; because I heard that it was easier to be paid by insurance if I attended an accredited school in the USA. Although I have lived in California for most of my life I originally from Sweden. I have worked in hospitals, birth centers and done home births in Australia, Northern California and through, Christian Midwife Homebirth Service I have been serving in San Diego county since 1993. With the help of the LORD I have a very low C-section rate, a zero episiotomy rate, a 100% breast feeding rate, and 2% transfer rate and a 100% happy healthy Moms and babies. The midwife is the normal childbirth expert and I specialize in first time Moms. I enjoy getting them off on the right foot; natural delivery, breast feeding, and excellent baby care skills. Most of my handouts are Christ centered and we pray at every visit. I have a Bible study on Motherhood available. All my birth assistants are born again Christians. Many of the women I serve opt to have a waterbirth, or to labor in the tub. I find that the warm water and buoyancy along with the water pressure on the perineum is very helpful to both the Mom and the baby.
