I sure hope you’re not done making videos. Or that this one isn’t the reason for your break. I just found you, and although I’m a grandma, I appreciate your content. You’re well spoken and candid and just a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you💛

I had my third child at the age of 43. I am now 47. My biggest regret is that I tied my tubes. I had a lot of pressure from doctors and family members. Even other well-meaning Christians. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't regret my decision. I truly did not put my faith in God in that matter. I listened to the so-called experts. Now looking back, I realized that as I got closer to my due date on each of my pregnancies, the doctors wanted to know what plan of birth control was I planning to take going forward. They never even asked if I wanted more children. They just wanted to know how I was going to prevent getting pregnant again. I never realize how crazy that is coming from a doctor. I started as an older mom but I was obviously very fertile so why would they want to stop that? Looking back at the whole situation I feel so deceived. I let people around me convince me that there was something wrong with having more than a certain number of children. I can't totally blame them. I blame myself for not educating myself on the situation.

You are very brave talking about all this Steph. So many people will not agree. It seems like too many Christians like to pick and choose what is biblical. Thank you for this video! 🤗

I'm 22, I have been married for a year and three months, and preparing to birth our first child. My husband and I are both Christian and wanted to marry young and start a family young. We trust the Lord will provide for us as he does for the birds...but it wasn't particularly easy with so many people around us telling us we were too young to marry and then after we got pregnant being told we had pretty much ruined our lives. It's a blessing I came across your KZfaq channel. It has encouraged me. I also saw your blog and saw you had a freebirth. I have a midwife and plan on having a homebirth, which has also been looked down on, but I have my reasons for wanting to go this route. I want to thank you for being obedient to the Lord and talking about this topic. I agree with you and it's good to know I'm not the only one who believes these truths. God bless you and your family ❤

Thank you for this wonderful video! I'm 17 and a Catholic. I'm going to be getting married in about 3 years (my boyfriend and I need some time to get things ready for life together and a family), but I 100% agree with you. My boyfriend and I won't be using birth control or waiting for our first child.

A year ago I wanted my husband to get a vasectomy. Now I agree with you completely. Thanks for sharing this message! Your Instagram introduced me to this idea and the Spirit changed my heart. I'm so grateful!

I have 14 children and 19 grandchildren. And they are all best friends and such a delight! They are powerful people spreading truth and joy where they live. With Gods help everyday life was and is abundant!!! Love that you are broaching this subject as many lose out on Gods design and blessings!

I just found your channel and I absolutely love your videos! I am 28 and I often feel isolated in today's world because there are so few women my age who think the same way and have the same values. I appreciate you so much and love your courage to put these videos out because I'm sure you get a lot of people who disagree with you. I love your sweet disposition and your views that God made you to be a wife and a mother. I agree! I am a wife and mother first and then I'm a nurse. My husband and I struggle to get by but I refuse to work more than I get to spend time with my boys. They will be starting kindergarten soon and I will be homeschooling them as well. We have a small homestead but would love for it to grow. I just wanted to say that you are an inspiration and I pray God will continue to use you to help inspire more young women to know that they can be who they are not who the world wants them to be. God bless you and your family. ❤️

I'm 44 and just had my youngest baby 7 months ago (she's #8). My ovulation always picks back up really quickly even when I'm exclusively breastfeeding, only takes 3 months for me I wish I had a break with that 😅, even though I'm now a grandma I STILL want one more....my biological clock is ticking FAST 🤣

Thank you for such a great video! I am 33 and just had my sixth! It gets to be soooo much fun as the olde kids grow up and share in the joy of the little ones. We also homestead too! ❤ Keep up the good work!

I stumbled upon your videos just a week ago and I’m just so awe inspired by your dedication!! Btw as a fellow Catholic I so appreciate this video. Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing your perspective! You make a strong and solid argument and I agree. You have challenged me on barrier methods. It's something I was already feeling convicted of and I think this was my final push to be done with them for good - so thank you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR STANDING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS 💪🙏👑

You are inspiring to me. I didn't grow up going to church. My parents died as I was extremely young. But you keep me going and you give me knowledge. Thankful to you.

I just found your channel and I’m obsessed with it! I really hope you upload again because I’ve watched all your videos in like a week 🥲😂💖 you are so beautiful and such an amazing person xo

Thank you for standing up for what is TRUTH and being a voice of encouragement to those of us who are like minded, yet get criticized for it!

Thank you for your videos Steph ❤ they are light that many of us need 😢🙏

I totally agree with letting god provide our families But for all my pregnancies,3 in total including a set of twins,i suffered from HG , it nearly killed me. So for the sake of my existing children Me and hubby chose to be very careful and try to prevent any more pregnancies.

Thank you for being so open about your crusade against birth control!

Just had one at 48. 😊 Only one where my cycle returned in a few months while breastfeeding. If you take care of yourself, then you go longer with fertility. Plus, the stats do not support downs etc as you get older.

I came across another video of yours on making laundry detergent, and after finishing that one (I took notes, so ty), I stumbled across this video, and hearing you speak biblically about multiplying, hit me emotionally and spiritually. I’m 41, 2 kids, 3 and 5. My husband and I want another child, but I’ve been a bit terrified bc of having to go through with the delivery, pain, and the things after that. Both times, I’ve over produced and many many times suffered with mastitis which is excruciating, and that’s one thing that keeps me from wanting another on.

My friend, I’m sure this took some courage!! Preach! It was so insightful. You have given me much to think about. Thank you!

This was really good Stephanie! Thank you for your perspective! It is definitely something to look further into for this 42 year old mama of 5 who thinks she is done. 😉❤️

Thank you for this video, I am 25, and currently have 3 children 3 years old and younger (also lost a few babies inbetween the two youngest) People are already so rude about it! But my Husband and I shall take all the children God blesses us with. He has blessed me with being very fertle, I usually end up being pregnant no later than 4 months after birth. After lossing a pregnancy at 15 weeks, I would never not want the blessing of another child!

I'm so happy that you are such an inspiration to young folks like yourself...Thanks for this wealth of info I pray a lot of young folks benefit from it 🙏

This is such a difficult topic because our society has pushed bc so much over many years. I had my first baby at age 20 and she was stillborn at 39 weeks. They did an emergency c-section because they thought they could save her. My 2nd was born via c-section because the hospital refused to do a VBAC (this was 18 years ago). I wanted ALL the babies after I got saved!! But, once again, no one would do a VBAC for me. With the confidence I now have, I definitely would've fought harder, but I was young and didn't know. Fast forward to now, I've had 7 c-sections (almost died after #3) and we prayed earnestly about what to do while pregnant with #7. God had been so good to allow my body to heal well after each one, but we knew my uterus couldn't take much more. I felt His peace 100% about getting my tunes tied. I didn't want to be done, but I felt peace. When they did my 7th section, they said it was a mess in there. My post op read like a horror story! I was so glad I made that decision to have my tubes tied. But, I'm sad that I cannot have more babies. However, shortly after 7th baby was born, God put foster care on our hearts (something I swore I'd never do). In our state you can't foster with 6 minors in your home. My oldest just turned 18, so we are now licensed foster parents 🙌. So, even though I had to close that window, I felt God was giving me that direction and now He has led us to foster care. I now advocate against c-sections whenever possible! Almost losing my life because of a bad surgery was reason enough, but limitation of babies is another. Side note, I'm the freak person who gets their period 6 weeks pp. The only time it came later was with my last, but the tubal may have effected that and I was bf'ing 2 babies around the clock...lol.

You are so sweet! So happy to see someone like you on YT!! Hope you have lots more babies!!!

Your channel came up in my feed a couple of days ago and I'm so glad it did! I love your content and your boldness to thoughtfully speak your heart and mind! I read Nancy Campbell's book about 20 years ago and looked into the history of BC and am so grateful that I did. Our third born was a nursling at the time and I was sad that she could have been the last baby. Because of Nancy's study and my desire to learn more and my eyes opening to the deception that has been accepted by our society, I had our sixth baby when I was 40. Although our families didn't understand our decision, they have loved each of our children. Our oldest is now 27 and our youngest is 12 and we are grateful for each of them. Unfortunately we lost a few along the way and our youngest is a rainbow baby. They have all hoped that we could have another, but our youngest was our last blessing. We also use traditional methods in cooking and caring for our health so I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. Homesteading is a dream, but I've been working on the skills in the meantime. I'm looking forward to more of your content.

Great vid Steph! Glad to have others in our fam questioning vasectomies!!

I just found you and loved your talk. It's one that I've tried to talk to others about too, but I was not as well prepared or equipped to defend my thoughts and convictions in this area. I will be passing this video on to my children as needed. I will also be checking into the references that you shared. Thank you for adding a better explanation as to why. I'm a mom of 12 and a grandma to soon-to-be 8 sweet grandbabies. The one thing I can promise you is that you will NEVER regret allowing and accepting the blessings you have been given by God. So keep sharing and educating others on this subject and most importantly, treasure and enjoy the blessings you have been given.

This is so incredibly important. What a great witness. Excellent job

I love your videos and your honesty and strength❤

I'm 35 years old in a week & newly married (10 months) and expecting our first child the end of June. Really excited about being a mom but I am against BC. God said to be fruitful and multiply. I am looking forward to having 4+ babies as long as both me and all pregnancies/babies are safe and healthy. Trusting the Lord with this and believing that He will bless us with more children. Being a wife and mom has been the deepest desire of mine since I was young and I'll be homeschooling as well. Really excited about this. I want to say that you did such a great job at explaining your reason on not using BC and what the bible says. It was said in a very non-judgenental way which is really difficult to do when you're a Christian and being attacked about the bible. I find that most people who ask those questions about, "show me the EXACT verse" is feeling judged or HAS been judged in the past for their decisions or they are really wanting to find truth. This Christian walk is having that relationship with Christ and in that relationship, He reveals things to you.

This was terrific. Thank you! I have been incredibly blessed by surrendering my fertility. We have 5 kids (ages 15-6). There were times when I felt overwhelmed, but now that I am fairly sure our time of fertility has ended, I realize how sweet it was. May the Lord bless your family.

Just found this channel yesterday. Would have been such nice content to follow. God bless her in whatever is in front of her now.

As a christian women i'm so thankful for you speaking out about your faith ...just started watching you , i'm a mom,grandmom, great grandmom and feel blessed by all my grandchidren. Really enjoying your channel.

Wow, I am so blown away, in a good way, by your insightful perspective! It's so very important to hear all-sides of issues, to have a good and healthy debate about issues that truly matter when it pertains to human life. Thank you so much for being courageous enough to bring these "triggering" topics to the front and center!!! As a female, I always felt like I was meant to have more than two children, but being in a narcissistic (him)/empath (me) marriage at the time, it was not my sole decision to bear or not to bear more children (within a faithfully vowed marriage). I feel that I karmically paid for "giving-in" to his no-more-children demands, since after a horrific, awful divorce, at 40-years old, I had to undergo a partial hysterectomy after I developed fallopian tube and ovary fibroids and cysts. I ignored a lot of red-flags in the early part of our dating relationship, but, at 28-years old, feeling my biological-clock ticking, I was so desperate to be a mother, and a stay-at-home Mom, which he, financially, was able to provide. But, my two sons and I paid dearly for my mistake when he started an affair and sued for a legal divorce. I have had painfully come to healing terms that without our relationship, however toxic and rocky it was, I would not currently have my two very precious sons in my life today (who at 16 and 18, clearly see through their father's manipulative tendencies - not from hearing me "bash" their father, as I have tried so ardently NOT to do, but mainly from their personal experience of his manipulation and dominance of control), but through his direct debasement of me, and my mothering-style. The precious man that I have been living with for the past nine years, unfortunately, rushed to get a vasectomy due to the fact that he and his ex-wife birthed an exceptional, high-functioning autistic girl; for reasons due to his own traumatic and abuse-witnessing childhood, he somehow (and falsely) believed, that he was genetically responsible for his daughter's development issues. So, when we started our relationship, him having a vasectomy and me having half of a reproductive system, "naturally" rendered us unable to bear any children together. To this day, I still believe that we could have had at least one amazing child together, but it obviously was not meant to be due to our unfortunate reproductive circumstances.

Wonderful testimony Steph. You have such clarity. Blessings to you and your family.💕🙏🏾🎶🦋

My period has come back at 3 months postpartum BOTH times I've had kids! Exclusive breastfeeding both of them. Great talk!

I love this video. I have four children. I wanted to have more, but my husband wanted to have a vasectomy when I was in nursing school. You have a lot of wisdom and I admire that you have that at a young age.

Please show the hair test results and what you do about it!! I’m very interested in doing it as well

Hello, I recently found your channel and have learned quite a bit already! I’ve noticed you haven’t posted a video in a while and was curious if you will continue to put out content!? Really enjoy your videos!

Love it !! Completely agree!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank God he opened my eyes years ago . 🙏🏻

I just found your channel and after watching this video (and others) I like you more and more ! You go girl !

My husband and I married pretty late in my childbearing years. We were able to conceive at 34. Now 38 we have never used any type of birth control and have not been able to conceive again. I’m going to look into that book you recommended.

Now that I've finished watching the video. I can say that I wish I saw this video 4 years ago. God bless you and your family!

I love ALL of your videos, especially this one. Thank you❤

Oh I love your Jenny Lind crib. My babies used one just like it many many years ago.

Thankyou so much for putting this videos out xxxxx

Also would love to know how you regulated your hormones when you realized your cycle was off-you mentioned herbs? Thanks!

Such an amazing video! Thank you! I agree with everything you’re saying but I’ve always had such a hard time collecting my thoughts into words to be able to express it to someone lol.

Thank you for this message- very interesting. May you and all who desire to have children be abundantly blessed.

Do you still recommend the Nora tea? I went to make another batch and don’t see it on your blog anymore 😅

Just discovered your channel today and have probably watched through 4 videos in a row. Enjoyed your content very much. Already shared this video with a family member. Thank you for sharing your voice "random lady from the internet" 😁❤

I adore this book! And I am grateful for God's providence in changing my heart on this topic. We exclusively practiced FAM during our marriage and got pregnant with my daughter 3 years in by 'accident' (I had never miscalculated except that ONE month and i attribute that to God's timing and am so grateful for it) and through becoming a mom I've seen God open my eyes to the broken view of my own control. If I proclaim God is a GOOD KING and sovereign over my life then wouldn't that extend to the number of kids we have? It wasn't until getting pregnant that I began to see how the reasons I wanted to control our family plan was purely out of selfish reasons, nothing to do with serving God better. Convicting and necessary, really appreciate these hard conversations!

What was the tea you used to help regulate your cycle?

God bless you !! I wish I had this information many years ago. God bless you and your family absolutely.

Amen I absolutely love your channel your an inspiration to all women and all children are a blessing

I absolutely love the fact that you did this Q&A. Your views on all of these things are so right because it is exactly how God meant everything to be even though the world especially America is so quickly turning away from which is so dangerous, but thank you for doing this video!!

I love your Honesty and knowledge.. On topics you passionate about .I'm glad I found you 🙏

LOVE this video!! I grew up in the protestant church and definitely know what you’re saying, based from my experience and upbringing. Thank you for speaking with clarity and conviction. May God have mercy on us (namely the American church) not following His ways and His commands and turn us back from our waywardness.

Thank you for presenting things kindly, even for those who may not agree with you. THAT'S rare.

Just found your channel... I absolutely love your views!

I really enjoy watching your videos. So glad you mentioned permanent BC for men issues. Nobody talks about what side effects. #1. Pain 2. Cancer 3. Depression because the hormones aren't working properly. Had no idea it was reversible Wow. Tied tubes also have down falls like PCOS and fibroids plus intense painful cycles. Don't mess with it if it's not broken :)Stay Well

Totally agree with everything you said! I am Catholic and feel like this is very much talked about in our church (Theology of the body is an amazing book) and not amongst Protestants. I’m curious of why you left the Catholic Church, would you ever do a video about your faith?

I love your videos! I look forward to seeing more.

I just found your channel… so so glad!!

I was hoping youd say that. Im against it too. Where did you go ? I just started your videos and Im amazed. Your incredible. I really hope you come back. Sending love and prayers to you and family. Thanks for all the incredibly helpful tips. Hope you come back and continue.

I hope you are coming back! So many simple, common sense postings. God bless you!❤

Hi there! I’ve recently found your channel. I was curious about how your hair analysis turned out?

I LOVE your videos!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

What an adorable final picture!

I am so glad I found you. Recently I’ve been watching MANY of your videos and I just want to say I love them!! I’ve been a Christian all my life but just last summer I really started to believe. Me and my boyfriend found a church that we LOVE! And then that fall we went to premarital counseling since we knew we would be getting married in the near future. I met now my best friend through that. She was one of the counselors there and we just instantly clicked. We may have 30years between us but she seriously is such a blessing. Anyways, I always had this mentality that the government was poisoning us and killing us off with medication and our “food” but after I met her she showed me what vitamins and minerals to take and what foods to avoid to become healthier. Now, I’ve started sourdough, growing my own little garden on my balcony, and becoming more traditional.

I’m so grateful that you’re sharing this so boldly. It’s such a relief to hear someone with the same views! I’m curious as to what made you leave Catholicism - I grew up Catholic and still am (and love it) and we seem to think veryyy similarly! Thank you again 😊

I see you are not longer making videos. I just found you and have watched all your videos. You are an inspiration to many. Dont let the voice of the few silence you. Would love to see you make more videos and maybe just ailence the comments?

Is there a way to see the instagram info without an instagram? Do you have it posted on a blog too? Thank you so much!

I loved this video!! Thanks so much!

I just found you and this video is absolutely beautiful!!! ❤

God bless you dear heart!! Praying rosary for you and yours! ♥️🙏🏻♥️

You are beautiful soul and I thank you for this amazing video❤

Loved this video! Completely off-topic question, but why do you have upside-down jars on the shelf behind you?

I am 55 and just moved out to a rural area and am able to homestead more than I was in the city. I just found your channel a few months ago and look forward to your weekly videos and I see you haven’t out one out in a while. You must be taking a break. I hope everything is ok with you. 🤗

You are so intelligent and discerning ❤ very inspiring, Thank you

Where do you get your hair analysis done?

Nancy Campbell was the one who started the quiverfull movement. So maybe that’s why some are asking about that. Just an observation. I have been following along on your IG stories and have been diving into the word on this topic and had a few come to Jesus moments. It’s hard being cleansed but just wanted to say thank you for being so open to sharing this. Our culture is so easily swayed the more I dive into things and unfortunately I was blind to a lot of it. Just grateful I have the tools and wisdom now to help my babies in the future with this area.

Loving your videos!

Beautifully said!

This video gives such positive energy and truth. Thank you for your time and understanding❤️☝🏾🙏🏾Your baby is such a cutie pie and you are so right children are blessings💯☝🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️

I just came across your channel today and watched at least 3 videos I hope you continue to upload videos. You are very generous in your content and I love the way you deliver your content. Subscribing and will continue watching your other videos.

It is actually mentioned old testament that after the birth of a male child, you wait 40 days for relations and 80 days after for a female child. I've read in some medical literature that's where the obgyn's medical wait time after birth is typically 6 weeks.

I'd like to know your thoughts on age. I'm 47. My youngest of 8 just turned one last week. Do you plan to keep having children until you don't get pregnant anymore?

Amen, sister. Very well put together and I agree whole heartedly. Love the content!! Keep it coming!!

Enjoyed watching! I have a 13 month old who is exclusively breastfed. I would love to have another baby right now. I had crippling chronic pain while pregnant and was bed ridden for nearly three months. It makes family planning decisions really difficult. We’re very prayerful in this season that my future pregnancies would be different.

Please keep making videos, especially about how to prepare 🙏❤️

Love your videos, I hope you keep creating again soon :)

I’m interested in doing an HTMA test. How would I go about doing that? I would love to see a video on more information about how you do them from home and how you read the results. Maybe you discussed some of that in the video and I missed it?

Thank you for making this video!!

Thank you for your videos 🙏🏻 God bless you and your family 🤍

THANK YOU SISTER!

I just found your channel and I love your videos!!! God bless ❤🙏🏼
