Hi Momo’s! So happy to be back! Sharing a very raw moment with y’all. Drop an encouraging comment below for all of us! 💜🙏🏼
"just because this birth didn't go how you thought doesn't mean the next time will be the same" - xx on a birth group
You physically look like you are healing and that makes me very happy.
Omg! Morgan!! God just pushed you through and held your hand has you walked through this rough pregnancy and birth! He can help you overcome any circumstance! Just lean on Christ and he will pull you through any trial! You will be a great momma! Love you and Paul and Baby Luca🥰
Morgan you're so strong, bless your courage and endurance and most of all Faith through the scary moments... May God continually protect y'all
I am currently 14 weeks pregnant after YEARS of prayer, and your story has been so comforting to me along the way! Thank you for your honesty and bold faith! Love you guys! 😘💓
Congratulations!!
Wishing you the best! Hope everything goes well for you ♥️
To You oh God be the glory! I pray for a safe delivery and life with the little one in Jesus’Name
I am 18 and just lost my first baby... it was an unplanned prematerel pregnancy I was so scared to tell my mom and finally ask help for sin and have God make me bring it to the light but still so difficult one to find out I was pregnant and know my life was changing and then find out soon after that it wasn't changing and that I lost my child. I can't imagine how hard it would be to be trying for years to have a baby and then have such a hard birth...I am so glad that you can be an example of trusting God through hard things.
I'm sorry for your loss
I'm sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending love to you and I admire you💛 I pray God has a beautiful future for you and that your story leads to a beautiful journey that helps lead others to Christ.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss 💛 If you are too nervous to reach out to your mom in fear of judgement, please at least tell a teacher/counselor, therapist, someone you trust at your Church, etc. because you need and DESERVE support. What you are dealing with is traumatic and painful- disregarding even the faith aspect- please reach out to someone (even if they aren't religious) and have someone help you during this time. God forgives all- but you need to heal first.
Your miscarriage wasn't your fault, unfortunately it happens often. I wish you healing.
I did not expect to cry- Paul- your vulnerability was so palpable.
Labor and delivery is so wild- beautiful and scary. Praise the Lord for giving you both strength through and beyond this experience. Luca is so blessed.
I highly doubt that women of history would have been adverse to the benefits of modern medicine given the choice. Childbirth is inherently risky. Right now, to have the ability to medically mitigate these risks is a massive privilege and religious belief should not make you feel guilty about that. Any deity worth their salt will care more about the life of an innocent baby and weary mother than being bothered by the effect medical intervention has on their personal ‘glory’. Congratulations to you both xxx
I remember that night I prayed like I never have before to keep you and the baby safe I'm just so thankful that you're both okay. I remember I would just get this urge to pray at random times I don't know why it was but this video explains it
I also got up in the middle of the night to pray for you guys. God was definitely at work! ❤
Me too... so wild.
Me too! I actually had a dream that woke me up and I prayed immediately!
Also awakened to pray during middle of that night. God is AMAZING!
As a mom who has has 3 c-section all with there own scary stories! I can so relate to this story.. I just had to cry with you! Gods plan is always better than ours! So thankful both of you made it through safe!
Two days from my due date and have been in and out of early labor for almost a week… thank you SO much for sharing your story. I’m working on letting go of my own expectations and surrendering to Gods plan and timing right now and your testimony was such a blessing and encouragement. ❤️
Crying here with you on this video😭🥹 it’s so weird bc they’re tears of sadness but also joy💕 I live with chronic pain and can’t tell you how many times I have thought “this is in vain”, “I’m going through this pain for nothing” “I’ve already prayed and God is ignoring me on this one” but like you looking back on these 6 1/2 years of pain- He’s been there every step of the way. Wouldn’t be here without Him🫶stay strong in your faith- it’s inspiring!
I cried with you guys, thank you for sharing your story with us. I know it will take time, more time, to process everything. I love you guys, your faith encourages me. What a blessing your family is to so many. Continuing to pray for you guys ❤
Amen! Hallelujah!
“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. "
I'm sorry you had such a rough experience. I'm so glad you survived! You're a warrior!
Paul really got me crying 😭
Love how raw and honest he is about his feelings towards his prayers not being answered. As a religious person I feel like in my community it's such a taboo to say that, but it's honest human emotion
Christians treat God like he’s a genie 😂
I cried with you both when you guys started to talk about Morgan’s c-section scare. Ugh, the Lord is so good. I’m rejoicing with you guys in that you can still say this even after going through that. He is worthy! And when we think about what He went through on the cross for those who are His, WOW is all we can say. Everything is of grace! He paid it all for us. Now we owe all of it to Him, including our very lives which are His. I’m just praising the Lord as I type all of this because He is so so good!!!!
Btw Morgan the fact that you laugh and smile and everything, makes me so happy! Don’t let the people making fun of you get to you! I also get made fun of or just discouraged for laughing too much or laughing at certain things. (of course there are serious things that should not be laughed at 😅) but for the most part, keep being smiley and happy and laughing!
I’m crying again 😭. Thank you so much for this in-depth share after your Birth Vlog. This was so raw and beautiful (and thank you for sharing the longer version too!). I am so happy for you guys. When I look at your IG updates and I see the 3 of you, I’m amazed each day.
I remember not being able to sleep after your water broke, and after that. I prayed so hard. We all did. The Lord was quietly working behind the scenes, and I know all the prayers for you made Him so happy. I was probably one of the thousands who kept messaging Paul, bugging him- letting him know I was praying for you all. Morgan, you’re a true warrior. God has strengthened you through your situation, and helped you to be a voice for other mommas/families. I continue to pray for each of you. Pray for your joy, your peace, love, and strength. May God bless you forever and always. Love you guys! Xoxo ❤
I’m so sorry you had to go through all that and that your plans didn’t work out, but what a beautiful testimony you have now. You will be able to help so many who go through similar things.
Watching your birth vlog and this one, my heart feels for both of you. While birth is “natural”, it can be unpredictable. Be gentle with yourselves ♥️ Morgan you did amazing. You went through the motions and pains much longer than is typical, you did not fail. You held on to what you wanted til literally the last minute when it was completely out of your control, and you trusted the Lord. You carried Luca, you birthed him, and now you’re continuing to give him from your body through breastfeeding. You’ve done absolutely amazing. And Paul, you did amazing as well. There’s a lot for both of you to process but you both did amazing for Luca and one another
Oh Morgan. I hemorrhaged tramautically (among other things) after the birth of my son. When you described here what was going through your mind in that moment I felt like you literally described my experience. I had almost the same exact thoughts going through my mind in that moment and remember feeling heartbroken yet at peace that my husband might have to raise my son alone. It's something so unfathomable that you just can't describe or imagine what it's like to go through something like that unless you've experienced it. Thank you for sharing, it's touching to hear a similar story🤍
Thank you for being so vulnerable. You are helping so many people and your work sharing the gospel is so important. Praying for you guys ❤
Thank you so much! 💜🥹
Wow what a powerful experience!! I really started crying at the part where you started crying, Morgan! God has really taken u through such deep pain, but He has lifted u up on the other side! Praise God that He kept u and your baby safe and has given u both health! So encouraged by your testimony!:):)
Honestly Morgan, I am so glad I did not watch your video while I was at work because my coworkers would have seen me ugly crying! Your story was soooo impactful and just the thought of losing you and Paul and Luca being alone was so sad bit God has a plan for you, but to just see you beautiful wonderful faith that was so strong was just so beautiful! I love you guys so much and I pray that the Lord will just bring you such healing and see such a beauty in all that he has shown you through this experience 🥰🥰
This is one of my favorite videos from you guys. Thank you for sharing your experience, this was touching and emotional and made me cry!
I’m so sorry for how much didn’t go according to plan and how terrifying it must have been. Your honesty and vulnerability is beautiful to see (both of you!). I hope you both find peace, comfort, and healing in Christ and in the community surrounding you.
I love what you said about your faith in the end. Honestly, it’s not the “out of this world” miracle testimonies God has done in my life that show me that my faith is strong, it’s because I got through every traumatic and heartbreaking experience even stronger than before that I know God is real. 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing this hard story. I can’t imagine going through such a traumatic experience surrounding such a beautiful and important time. Praying for both of you guys- continued healing, comfort, and peace. ❤️
I’ve been waiting so much for this! You did amazing mama and that beautiful blessing that came into you and Paul’s life is so loved. Inspiring seeing a young family like this, I can’t wait to have my own someday ❤
I'm 19 and have never met y'all, but y'all have been a real inspiration and source of proof that there is hope in this life no matter how rough it gets. Listening to y'all for about 3-4 years now, I can't imagine a world without either of you. Literally, I almost began to cry with y'all at the telling of possibly losing Morgan. Guys, I'm praying for y'all for recovery and that y'all will be a beautiful blessing of godliness to Luca Grace. I look up to y'all- love you both❤
Im crying but tears of joy. God is so good. He answers prayers even when it's not what we ask for. God always have a better plan. I'm so happy both mommy and baby Luca is here and well and alive 💙 Dad did an awesome job covering his family in prayer,congratulations 🎊 Ollie's.
Laboring for so long on pitocin and not having progress is so crushing :( the same happened to me and I remember feeling so discouraged- those contractions are just absolutely wild. My heart goes out to you both, but you’re so right that the Lord was working and there was a greater purpose 🤍 He is still good.
Tears 😪💙 Thank you for sharing Morgan, I'm glad you are alright seriously so glad. And that Luca is here safely. Nothing happens without a reason or higher purpose. God is good. 💜 you guys
As someone who had a very rough birth with my youngest (c section with PE and 6wks in the ICU for me) I can feel your pain Morgan.
It will get easier to work thru the trauma. Please seek counseling.
What an emotional roller coaster 😭Morgan, it sounds like you endured it all! So encouraged by your story when it doesn’t go according to your plan you still trust the Lord and give him glory!!!
Thank you both for sharing and being so vulnerable! Praying for you as you continue to process. Also Luca is the cutest!!
So glad Luca is here and safe and that you are also safe Morgan! I honestly wasn't even sure I wanted to watch this video as I had my own traumatic birth just a few days before Morgan. I've had a really hard time processing what happened to me and my baby. Thankfully both of us are also safe and healthy. God definitely put it on my heart to watch your video this morning and I'm so glad that he did. I've also had a lot of the same feelings and questions that Paul had when it comes to, " why did God not answer my prayers?" " why did this experience go exactly the opposite of what I hoped and prayed for?" In the moment like morgan, I had fought so hard and just did what I had to do to get my baby here safely, and that didn't allow much time for processing the whole thing. I've had a hard time since then taking it to the Lord and trusting that he did what was best for me. I've definitely had some bitterness and I'm working through it. Seeing both of you speak about the experience that you had and knowing that God did what was best even if you don't understand it was really helpful to me and I'm encouraged to just continue pouring out my feelings to the Lord in prayer and to continue seeking him even when I get frustrated about how things went for me and even though I don't understand why we went through what we went through. Thank you for sharing your experience ❤
So beautiful, I’m due any day and felt so encouraged by this! Thank you❤️
As you were talking about the scary moment towards the end a song called “You call I’ll answer” by David Leonard came to mind. I could just hear it in my mind playing as you were both sharing about the moment in the operating room, give it a listen. You both are so strong.
Also care to share your labour playlist?
Sounds so beautiful!
❤ so so so moving. When I was born, I was sent to NICU, and missed out on skin to skin, and honestly i struggled with abandonment wounds for most of my life until now. But hearing this kind of story from your perspective as parents, is just so achingly beautiful.
❤❤❤
This has been such a powerful testimony! I've taken awhile to watch this vlog because i just had a miscarriage after watching your vlogs of waiting and waiting and waiting for this miracle.... But the thing that has blessed me the most is how you walked a journey that you never expected; you had your beautiful miracle through all the pain, twists and turns and this is what has touched my heart the most...you sharing your pain experience with us. Thank you very much Paul and Morgan. Your life story has truly truly ministered to me during my own pain journey. May the Lord use this to speak to so many people as you have spoken to us. It's true! There's always some beauty in the pain.
Don’t take this question wrong but did you guys do any research about what happens if you don’t go into labor after your water breaks? I quick search would tell you that it could be dangerous and lead to infection! But midwife should have better communicated that with you.
Yeh, I’m shocked you weren’t told this in your birth education. It’s standard practice in Australia to get antibiotics 18hrs after water breaking & to make sure women know this. It was my first question after watching your birth vlog & I’m only a recent FTM. Your midwife should have clearly explained this BEFORE your labour not during. I’m sorry you went through this 😢
As a labor nurse in the states I can say that in hospitals we teach the patients as soon as their water breaks that we will check temps every hour and that if temp goes up and baby’s heart rate goes up we will start antibiotics so they’re aware from the start what the possibilities are.
Yeah, I was told that after your water breaks the baby needs to be delivered within 24 hours
Yep, she definitely should've told them that she was at risk. But on the other hand, there is so much information on the internet that it is surprising she didn't know...
Exactly ugh my water broke and I went in immediately and took them two hours to get me in and start pitocin and I got a bad fever after 15 hours and we just made it vaginally. I can’t imagine waiting after my water broke
Welcome to the world Luca!!🥰 You are SO loved and cherished little man!! Thank you, Paul and Morgan, for being open and sharing what happened I was touched by your birth story. It is a reminder that we make our own plans, but God is the one in control and He saw you through it all. All glory be to God! I am sending love to your little family from Honduras 🤗
i have to thank you both for talking us through what happened. I had my daughter on the 3rd of September and I'm still very much traumatized by the experience. There was no way I was able to handle watching your birth vlog unfortunately, even though I was curious and wanted to know how you guys were. This way I do and I wish the best for you both.
I just wanted you guys to know I am so encouraged by your vulnerability! Truly it’s impacting lives. I 100% get you on all your convictions of a home birth. I truly see the Lords grace in your story and I just want you thank you for sharing it!
I cried with you guys while watching this beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I see two very strong people who love eachother and love the Lord. God bless❤
This birth story sounds like my second. My husband and I have ptsd from the experience and it's stopped me from having another baby. It was so traumatizing for us both and I thought over time I would forget but that hasn't happened. I'm content with the family God gave me ❤. Blessings to you and your family.
Crying sooo much 😭😭 oh my goodness I am so thankful God answered your prayers for life and everyone is here to tell the story of God's grace. What a scary experience that must have been 🥺
Beautiful vlog. Thank you for sharing this experience, I definitely cried when you were crying. So happy you are ok and that baby Luca is here. He is so cute!
Thank you for being so honest! It's so encouraging to see how raw you are and how God has been working even in the hardest moments ❤Luca is adorable I caaan't
What a beautiful story. I think part of this is to show that your lives, even down to your child, even down to the way he entered this world, does not belong to you, but to God. And I think that's beautiful. Thank the Lord that we belong to Him and not ourselves, and that His ways are higher than ours. Because if He only operated within our understanding, imagine how much less that would be.
I'm so glad Luca and Morgan are safe, and that you guys are stronger because of this. I hope this encourages y'all! Love you!!!
You are amazing Morgan!! I labored on pit for three hours without the epidural and that was rough, I can’t imagine 7+ 🥴 way to go girl. You definitely block out the pain, and I remember to vividly never wanting to do that again haha. Labor is something crazy. It so hard to explain the emotional toll your labor and delivery story can take on you, something people won’t understand unless they’ve been through it. You’re a champ mama!! I’m so happy for you and the family. Praying for y’all 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing ❤ It was so lovely seeing all 3 of you together!
Even though it didn't go in the direction you had planned and was a scary experience, God was in control. He provided a hospital, doctors, nurses, an operating theatre and medicine was readily available. I have had an emergency c-section too (baby born 20 mins after I was told I needed one). It is truly frightening, but I am so glad that God provided for all my needs. God bless you and your family.
joinhismajesty interesting that God doesn't provide all of this medicine and service for people in other countries no matter how much they beg him
Decided to watch this before going to sleep…Im just gonna cry myself to sleep now. 😭 So thankful God kept Morgan and the baby safe. Sorry you guys had to go through that traumatic event as a family!!
How did God keep her safe? Everything went wrong, without the doctors she would not have madu it!
@@Lauraphoid God kept her safe in the sense that when she was in danger of death in the hospital, she survived. Therefore I see it as God keeping her safe. But this is the viewpoint of a believer of Christ. We give God the glory, not the doctors.
I was listening while getting ready to do my morning exercise and as I'm warming up I get to the part of how afraid you were Morgan might not continue on that journey of raising Luca... You two made me cry while doing jumping Jacks....but I'm so glad you're sharing your journey. God is good all the time!!!
Morgan thank you for sharing such an intimate thing with us 🙏 God kept you strong and are such a powerful woman going through that! Thank you!
The Holy Spirit truly lives in you. I felt like God talk to me through your words. Lately I've been feeling very hopeless because I feel like God hasn't answered any of my prayers. Thank you guys for sharing your experience, it's very encouraging. You're such a beautiful family ❤️
Morgan you fought sooo hard and for so long. You should be SO proud of yourself. Warrior mama ! For real ! 🫡🙏💖
Wow! This is wonderful. I think I understand a little - God was giving you a testimony to share and bless more people than you can imagine. I love you guys more after hearing this. Thank you for trusting God in intense moments such as the one you have shared. Love from Cameroon!
This is so beautiful and emotional 😭 congrats Morgan and Paul on your bundle of joy ! ❤️👶🏻👣 I’m 6 weeks pregnant myself and all I ask the Lord is the safe and healthy pregnancy and baby 🤍
@Morgan Olli Vlogs Morgan I was almost in tears watching this video. God was really protecting you, even though he didn't answer the way you wanted him to he had a purpose. Thank you for always being so real with us. THANK YOU GOD FOR BABY LUCA GRACE OLLIGES. Bless this family Lord. Love you all 🥰
Congratulations once again Paul and Morgan. He’s beautiful and thank you both so much for sharing your experience. It was a blessing to hear about and a helpful one for me. So blessed to get to know you both a little bit through RUclips. God bless your beautiful family
Best Fitting Title Ever…
It’s been a full 24 hours since I’ve watched this video & still, I am shocked & pained thinking about your having gone through what you went through just 5 weeks before this video. The brevity of life… the twists & turns… how in an instant, absolutely everything can change… Paul & Morgan, I wept with you, rejoiced (rejoice) with you & everything in between! ~2 Cor. 12:9… Amen! Part of my prayer for you is that you will continue to take excellent care of yourselves & each-other & move at (only) God’s pace for you. Everything about this video ; from how you handled yourselves to your transparency, wisdom & grace, etc.… WOW! God is working in & through you; using your lives/story in an extraordinarily powerful way! It is your undivided hearts for HIM that indelibly inspires me (& countless others, I believe) in my walk with the Lord! When the timing is right, please consider letting us know how best for us to pray for the amazing 3 of you! Luca is the BEST Bundle of Cute… EVER!
I had my first child back in February, and mine was intense too. But different. I should’ve had an emergency c section, but ended up delivering vaginal. I threw up the entire time after I started pushing, I couldn’t get her out… because I was throwing up the entire time. So they had to use the vacuum on her head 3 times. She still has a scar on her head. But I’m so thankful God helped. I was like you all praying, God help me get her out. It was intense, but God is faithful! She’s my world, and has brought so much joy to our family!
So happy for you all, and thanks for being real.
Do you know why you were throwing up? Was it from meds? Pain?
@@rebeccasimut1929 She may have been on one of my nerves possibly. Not really sure.
Right on!!!! Everything was so moving!!! Your story is so incredibly powerful!!! Love Christ’s strength in you!!! Yes yes yes!!! Thank you for standing up for truth!!! 🎶🎶🎶 You guys are being used of God so much!! You laid down your life for Luca!!! ❤
What a powerful story of faith that was tested and refined ❤️ amazing y'all...just wow!
Touched my ❤️
I also had an emergency csection after wanting to do everything all natural. We did it to save her.
It gets better. I'm already ready somehow. It's so worth it.
God is so good!❤️
Nothing wrong with a C-section, without it, my mom and little sister would've died.
I’m not in the same situation as y’all with trying to conceive/difficulty giving birth, but I am in a very difficult time in my life in multiple ways. And this video just helped me. Helped me to feel (because knowing what I’m feeling can be difficult for me sometimes). And heal a little bit.
On a different note, Paul’s strength& testimony in the Lord also encourages & reminds me that my husband could come back to the Lord at some point in the future. And that there are still very strong men in the Lord out there :)
Thank you, as always, for yall’s videos 🤍💛
Wow!! I was in tears watching both of you relive that. Thank you for sharing. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a few years now with no success, but I have peace that everything will happen the way it's supposed to. Hearing you talk about the peace God gave you in the midst of this was incredible to hear. He definitely was moving! This was very encouraging Morgan thank you again! Praying for your continued healing 💜
I wish you the best in your fertility journey! Are you also looking at adoption options?
@@KKISCRAZYFUL thanks! 😊 we're still fairly young and we're currently going through various tests to find out what could be affecting our fertility. But we definitely want to adopt in the future!!
@@jesscook that's lovely! I think I'd like to foster or adopt one day. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck!
Thank you for sharing, it was moving hearing your story and will be so helpful to others experienced the same or preparing for birth scenarios!
Girl your definitely not alone!!! ♥️
We just delivered our baby girl a little over a week ago and planned a natural home birth as well but ended up in the hospital. Nothing went as planned! But God was still faithful and there through it all! 🙌🏼
Can relate to forgetting the pain a bit ! Can also relate to that peace from the lord I went into labour early and I had to push my twins out at 31 weeks and prayed to the lord how much I needed his strength to push these babies out unmedicated as I was supposed to have a c section but didn't have time and one of the girls heart rates were dropping and I went into a world that was just with the lords strength ❤️ as I pushed and its like everyone was there but they wernt it was amazing ! It was hard seeing them afterwards with tubes ect but the lord was there through it all. Yous did so well !! You should both be proud 💞
I have never cried watching a birth vlog, let alone birth story until now. I think that beauty in pain, is that you can’t grieve if you never loved.
Wow!! This is so encouraging and inspiring. Praying for you all 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Literally sobbing 😭 I love you guys so much.
Wow that is a crazy birth story, I felt it as you told it! I’m so happy you are in the other side! God is good.
Y’all making my preggy self ball my eyes out. Oh my goodness praise Jesus for everyone making it. It wasn’t your time ❤
Sending you good vibes in your pregnancy ♥️
Thank you for sharing. My first birth was tragic and ended in the loss of my son. 💙 Followed by a beautiful, healing birth with my daughter. ❤️
Wow, my words fail me at the moment. All the memories flood back to me from 1 year ago my husband and I just fell pregnant and were going for the first scan. I pushed for an early scan because I knew something was not right. Had a lot of pain on my left side of my body. We arrived at the gynae and when the wand was put onto tummy, all we could see was fluid. I was bleeding internally because my left tube had ruptured from the pregnancy being ectopic. My gynae said to me that it's a miracle that I was standing with so much blood loss and that I walked in there without help etc. God came thru with the funds for me to have surgery in the following hour. The Bible verses that stayed with me was from psalm 23 - even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and staff comfort me. I'm now 28 weeks along with our next baby and hearing your birth story is a sober reality and reminder that God is the sustainer and giver of life and that we need to relinquish control over to him.
Oh my goodness I was crying so hard during this. The vulnerability and the emotions tugged at my heart. Poor Paul my heart was breaking for you having to experience that, but God puts the heaviest weight on the shoulders of his strongest soldiers. Sometimes if you wanna see the rainbow you have to put up with the rain. It’s so crazy because I had a dream that night about you morgan the night you went into labor and I remember waking up all of the sudden and feeling this urge to pray for you. It was the strangest dream. Oh bless you all. ❤
What a perfect name for your boy given your birth story. Light and Grace!
Ok, not Ellie Goulding- now I'm crying 😭😭😭😭
So amazing that God works to strengthen your faith and relationship with Him and each other. Your faith in the Lord is inspiring even if I don't always agree with your pov. Lots of love and prayers to you and your growing family. 💞✝️
Hearing your story brings tears to my eyes and a heart full of praise for our God. Praise God that you’re alive in a time of modern medicine, praise God for not answering Paul’s fervent prayers for a home birth, praise God that he is sovereign and even when things aren’t going “right” they most definitely are going right. Praise God for a healthy Luca and Morgan. Our God is so very worthy of praise and worship and this is a very powerful testament to that!
It is unfortunate that Morgan's birth plan didn't work out but I am so grateful that we have modern medicine so that Morgan and Luca are alive and healthy.
Thanks for being so open and honest about this. The Lord is great, even in times of pain, uncertainty and fear. I'm happy He was able to give you peace in those moments and that you could look to Him for strength.
It's sad that people still feel the need to respond to this video and pick it apart and find things wrong with it. You never once said that everyone's experience has to be like this, you're just sharing your story.
It is supernatural that all these trials brought you even closer to God. I am so thankful for your honesty! Your faith is strong and like Job he didn't deny God for a moment you didn't do either. Thank you for your trust that inspires others as well :)
Thanks for sharing! I haven’t experienced anything like that, but I was challenged by you all sharing your story.
I'm happy that you were able to get through this battle! It paid off because you have a beautiful baby boy in your arms.
wow guys...such a story...thanks for sharing. i have been there with my wife. Paul, i know exactly what you went through..felt so powerless hearing my wife cry and scream....it literally traumatized me...your so brave morgan !
Paul and Morgan your testimony is amazing! If you don’t see it now you will as baby Lucas grows. It definitely impacted me greatly and your testimony strengthen my faith like in the book of Job. Everything won’t go your way but your faith will never fail and lord always will bless that! Thank you for sharing your story! God bless you always. 🤍
I’m so sorry you had to experience this. Sending you love and so much peace!!! It’s been 1 year now. I’m sure you’ve grieved and processed your feelings and experience. I hope you are at peace and are happy now and I hope you and baby are doing well!!
Praying for an easier experience the next time! And, when your water is broken for 24 hours and you still haven’t had baby, please go to the hospital. This probably could have all been avoided with better advice from your midwife. Prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m sorry you had such a hard time. I’ve had 4 c-sections. Just wanted to say that God did answer your prayers. Sometimes you get a no to what you’re asking for. I think in this case it’s because he wanted you guys to have this amazing testimony. You are helping other people and the biggest yes you got is that Morgan lived! Please don’t mislead people to think that God is not answering because they don’t get what they want. Got knows best and we sometimes get a no. We don’t always understand why but God knows and we have to trust, especially in the hardest of times.
There are already so many people who told you how encouraging this video was. Still I want to tell you, it hit home so hard for me when you where talking about God not answering your prayers. I am now Christian for a pretty long time of my life and there was nearly never a situation where I thought, that God really doesn´t answer, even tough I experienced many times that God did something very different than I was praying for, and I was often in the situation of praying and still not seeing any brakthrough, even after years, but yet I was always able to trust and trust and trust. But at the time and the last few weeks I really experienced that everything I prayed for wasn´t answered, also topics from many years ago, where there is still no breakthrough and I feel so overwhelmed and kind of angry but still want to be faithful. But still, some time in the last days I really wasn´t sure if my prayers are useful, and as Paul said, maybe if I dont pray it will get better. I know thats not true, but still I caught myself sincerely thinking and considering it. You spoke out of my heart and it was SOOO encouraging to hear even tough NOTHING got as planned or as you hoped and prayed for so many times, in the darkest and hardest time God didnt let you alone and woke up so many people to pray for you. It gave me a lot of hope for my own situation and unanswered prayers to still continue praying and trusting. I tried so hard also in the last time, but it got harder and harder and I got really sad, seeing myself doubting and feeling more unsure than ever, maybe it was God who wanted to hear me this, there has to be a reason why you both had the strength to make this video right now and as you said in the beginning Morgan, that you are even able to sit hear even tough you both are in survival mode. I am sure you encouraged and helped so many other people, but I want to tell you for myself, that you really made a difference in my life with this video. Maybe this sounds dramatic, but eventually you guys can understand, how special it is to feel touched in a topic which is really hard on your soul.
Thank you for sharing this story with us💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing your story and I’m so glad that at the end of everything that happened, Morgan and baby Luca are healthy and doing well. 💗 Ultimately, everything happens the way God intended it to happen even when we don’t understand in the moment but God is always faithful.
Side note: I can relate to what Paul said at the end. When my brother passed in 2016, I got angry at God because I did not understand why God took him from us - he was 28 years old. It took some years actually, wasn’t until 2020 that I came to terms with the reason why God took him and I re-dedicated my life to the Lord and since then my faith in the Lord is the strongest it’s ever been in my life. I now understand these Bible verses so well - “Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.” -James 1:2-4.
I have followed you guys for years and thought of you often. I had my daughter in Dec of 2021. I had a placenta previa which landed me in the hospital a month before my planned c-section. We suffered from some complications and loss of blood. I thought we lost our baby girl but by the grace of God we did not. Due to COVID regulations I was only able to see one person per day (this included my husband if he was not working and able to see me). I had to deliver a month early (36-37 weeks) via c-section. I had a great experience in the hospital but the c-section and being so isolated for a month leading up to my daughters birth was traumatic. I wasn’t able to hold my daughter right away either. She needed the nicu. The Lord was heavily present throughout my entire pregnancy and birth. The experience has made me much stronger. Healing continues. But these babies are such a blessing and gift ♥️ endless joy has come from temporary suffering.
Paul.. The Lord was answering your prayers through out the entire time and every step 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
This was beyond .. emotional. Wow you guys are amazing and God 😢works in mysterious ways. I’m so happy you have your baby .. wow. An inspiring story
Beautiful and powerful.. like that song “There is power in the name of Jesus…” you guys brought me to tears 😭
The most beautiful nursery I’ve seen in a while 🥰🥰 what a beautiful couple it looks like it’s been a year already but congratulations!
Your experience is a great example of how important it is to compunicate well and understandable as a doctor/midwive/nurse to your patient, so they can make a desicion they fully understand with all their consequences. I am so sorry that your birth didn't go the way you wished, but as you said, the Lord was always by your side and guided you and in my opinion the dramatic scenario in the end, where Morgan lost so much blood showed on the one hand God's amazing sence of humor by playing that special song in this exact moment of scare - kind of sarcastic as well (but he knew everything will be alright) and on the other hand this showed you as a couple your selfless love for eachother, which is the actual thing that made me cry in this moment. Paul was not concerned about his Son, because his Wife Morgan was in Danger. And this is as thinks should be: One should of course love one's children, but at first place one's spouse. And Morgan was worried about Paul, about how she could no longer support him and he would have to raise Luca by himself. You both gave God all your feelings, all your worries, all your anger and emotions. You laid it all down up to him. All this caused that this is by far the best "Birth-Story" I've ever seen. May God bless you and always keep you close to His Heart ❤️

This was amazing to watch I can tell this is still very raw and emotional for you guys!! Hugs! Luka is adorable and you guys are going to be amazing parents! My thoughts were God must have an amazing plan for His life!!
I'm so sorry you had such a challenging and painful experience! Just remember, there's no condemnation on those who are in Christ Jesus. Morgan, you rock for your warrior spirit and for what you endured! We live in an imperfect world and life can just be so hard for all of us in one way or another. But your testimony will be an encouragement to so many women who will go through the same thing. Thank you for sharing and for glorifying God with your testimony!
