Birth with God

Much of the world’s perspective on Christianity and birth is “eve’s curse” – that day when Eve was deceived and birth was forever changed to painful. That is a misconception in itself, and you can find articles about it on the Best Perinatal Articles post. There are numerous lessons to be learned from reading through various stories in the Bible that may not pertain directly to birth, but it is also amazing how many metaphors are used through scripture to relate to the work of a laboring woman, and the connection between a mother and her nursing baby. This was no nonchalant task, and finding guidance through this time in the Bible is quite comforting to many Christians.
