★★★★★
10/10 recommend
“This book was hands down one of the best. Can’t recommend it enough. I underlined and highlighted so many things and made so many notecards to reference during birth and postpartum. Truly makes me look forward to welcoming my first born into the world rather than fearing it.”

This book is for you if…
- You love Jesus but feel anxious, overwhelmed, or afraid about birth
- You’ve been told pregnancy is something to endure, not enjoy
- You want to trust God with your birth, but don’t know what that looks like in real life
- You want motherhood to feel life-giving, not draining
“It only takes one person to break the cycle in a family, and I believe that person is you.”
— Evan Marlatt, from the Foreword
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi, I’m Madeline
I’m a birth coach, a momma of three, and the teacher behind Birth Without Burden™ and The Made to Momma Method. I lead Christian women into God’s design for pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.
I didn’t write this book because I have all the answers. I wrote it because accepting God’s invitation to surrender has been the best decision I could have ever made, and I want you to encounter Him in this season, too.
