- TW: miscarriage and TTC. Welcome back fam! This is an episode that is long overdue. Milena sits down with Christian Content Creator and good friend, Brittany Dawn. If you’re familiar with Brittany, you know that she boldly takes a stand for the Kingdom of God and in the wake of cancel culture doesn’t shy away from speaking the Truth. From sharing how Jesus radically saved her life, to miscarriage & trying to conceive, Brittany uses every part of her story to bring God glory. Join us for a raw and extremely vulnerable conversation on trusting God through such pain and heartache.
On the IVF conversation...it is a good reminder that just because medicine "can" do something doesn't mean medicine "should" do that something! Not only in medicine...
What a beautiful interview ladies 🥹 Thanks for sharing your hearts!
I’m 13 weeks pregnant with our 4th baby. We lost our 3rd at 9 weeks in the fall. Milena hit the nail on the head, that was a different child that we won’t get to know on this earth. I still cry about the baby I didn’t get to meet even though I’m happy to be expecting another. ❤
I had a miscarriage 2.5 years ago. The grief definitely still comes in waves. I’ve since had my rainbow baby and I am so so thankful for her, but she’s not a replacement of the one I lost. I’ll always wonder what would’ve or could’ve been. I see God’s plan in it all, but the sadness for that child will always be there until I get to heaven.
Really proud of you girls for speaking out on IVF. It’s a tough subject and most people are not ready to have that conversation. God bless you in your journey 🙏🙏
My daughter is an IVF baby and she is my entire world, and the same God that gave you your naturally conceived babies, is the same God that gave us doctors and medicine, and my babygirl.
God gave us doctors and medicines sure, but that doesn’t mean everything they do is honoring God and what he calls us to do.
@@asdfghjklasskdfghjkl who said they did?
But did he give us modern medicine and artificial birth or did Satan ?
God gives man’s talents to advance medicine. Man corrupts many things just like they currupted marriage with same sex marriage. Or corrupted sex with sex outside of marriage but that doesn’t make marriage a bad thing. God created marriage.
Only God alone can breathe life. Every IVF child alive today is alive because God breathed life into them. Scientist can try all they want in the lab but God does the life breathing.
There are ethical ways to do IVF. Not every IVF process is unethical. Just because man corrupted it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. There are many responsible Christian families doing IVF who request to only have small amounts of embryos that they will give birth and life to. Not everyone is doing 10s of 20s of 100s. There are alternatives.
What is IVF?
Of course there was a little Information tab under your video encouraging abortion. It’s like when we talk about babies and the blessing they are, the enemy just hates it. He does anything he can to keep us from having children for the Lord. Just evidence that there is so much fruit when you speak on topics like this ❤️ also this video was so beautiful, my husband and I are expecting a baby in September, and couldn’t thank the Lord more for anything, it’s such a privilege to be able to carry babies for the Lord🥺
You can send feedback to Google about the abortion info! Just click the three dots to the right of it.
I was just going to comment the same thing- feedback sent*
We’re expecting a baby in September as well!
Encouraging?
This truly healed some parts of my heart that needed it after our miscarriage in October. We are currently 7 weeks pregnant and the back and forth of stressing and praising is something I never thought I’d struggle with. When you chatted about the feeling of still grieving while carrying the next child it made feel not crazy for the emotions I’ve been feeling recently. I just appreciate your honesty and love with what you say. Thanks for being you…
Thank you both! This was beautiful!❤️
As soon as I saw this I was like she is on maternity leave!! I am wondering if she had her baby 😊 if you did congrats Milena and Jordan!
My thoughts too!😂
The fact that milena has posted this first interview can only mean that she has had her baby!! Congratulations Jordan and Milena and your sweet growing family! Praying that all is well and you are just basking in the newborn bliss 🤍🙏🏼
Two ladies that inspire my boldness in sharing the Gospel with conviction and without fear! Bless you and your families! Praise God for you and His infinite love and grace! 🙏🏽❤️
I dont know anything about milena but I do know that any person who willingly supports a woman who discards and changes up her pets more than she does her hair extensions has got to be problematic as well and could in no way be a loving Christian woman
My husband and I tried for 8m I got pregnant and miscarried. We tried for a year and 1/2 I got pregnant and miscarried but the next month I fell pregnant again and got my double rainbow! This past December we were not trying, I got pregnant and had my first missed miscarriage. Everyone thought I was crazy because I was STILL happy and filled with the joy of the lord. I truly don’t know how people go through such hard times with out the lord. I know for a fact Holy Spirit had me the entire time
Totally felt that when I was carrying my second baby (my oldest Earthside). I was 20 weeks with him and did have a random occurrence of mourning again thinking of my very first that is in Heaven 🤍
I am so glad that Brittany has not gone the route of IVF and that feeling she has is conviction from the Holy Spirit! The reason she says she didn’t feel right about it is because IVF is really playing the role of God. He is the one that opens and closes the womb. Scripture is full of this truth throughout the ages. Also when someone does adopt a frozen embryo it is called a snowflake adoption. very sad that there are frozen embryos just sitting in a chemist lab somewhere.
This was so encouraging and beautifully said. My husband and I are still waiting on the Lord to bless us with a baby, but his will comes before our desires.
For some reason I also felt a bit of discomfort with IVF or more surrogacy, I honour everyone who chooses those routes.
I do believe strongly in the miraculous power of God and I want to encourage everyone to believe that the miracle God did then He will do even more now. Continue praying and trusting Him. He is a God of abudance and will show Himself in it all.
I'm so incredibly grateful for this video. ❤
Also about IVF I agree it’s an important conversation to have when things are unethical, and we are all the babies have to stand up for them.
My water brooke at 21 weeks. We stay at the hospital until 23 weeks, my baby and I were in danger so the doctors induce my labor. At that moment we knew that our baby could die and we pray a lot saying that our God was sovereing and He has the last word. Our daughter lived outside of my womb for 3 hours and the Lord decided to take her into his presence. We hold her during that time, we kiss her, we talk to her, we sing her "Jesus loves me" and read the Psalm 23 to her until she stop breathing.
This have been the most hard thing that I experienced in my entire life. Now, almost two months later still hurts, the Lord has been with us all the time teaching us to rest in him and trust even when we dont understand the purpose behind this. I've been feeling a lot of fear of getting pregnat again, the battle in the mind is really heavy. My only refuge has been praying a lot and reading the Scripture, hear worship music and testimonies. I'm really glad that you share your story and now this video. God bless you all, He is our good Sheperd, loving Father and faithful friend. 🧡🙌
this broke my heart, I’m so so sorry 🥺 your faith and dependency on the Lord is powerful to read. Praying for your continued healing, trust in Him, and letting go of fear 🫶🏼
I’m agree with Brittney on IFV! Thank you so much for sharing you guys 🤍
My 2nd cousin and her husband adopted an embryo. He's a answer to their prayers of infertility and he is 7 years old and very healthy today. He would not be here if they didn't adopt him.
proving everyones point of how cruel this system is 🤷♀️ homebro was abandoned, stored away, and sold. Now lets think of the medical treatments for the women. oh now lets think about the MONEY how much money did they make off of all yall…… all in the name of having children. Selfish and cruel.
@@Pointblankhome I mean I would never do IVF but if someone is going to go down that route anyway I think adopting the embryos is better than creating a bunch of new ones. And I have no problem with people adopting the embryos, at least they are saving some. They were no selfish in the least because they took a child someone else threw away and were able to bring him into the world, love him, provide for him and care for him. And they tried for adoption in general but the state has a billin reasons why people who would deeply love and cherish adopted kids get turned down for adoptions.
And plus, embryo adoption is much cheaper than doing ivf yourself. That being said I think its wrong to judge people who have already made the decision to do ivf. You truly don't know if they did it responsibly, and you don't know if God guided them to do it. My 2nd cousin and her husband paid for the whole procedure themselves and it was several thousand dollars. I dont like or agree IVF at all however I do appreciate the people who decide to give these frozen litte ones a chance at life. These are beautiful children made in God's image and at the end He still decides if any IVF embryo will continue to grow and develop or if he will take that precious soul home.
@@tarynthompson4141an embryo is not a child tf ?
@@Danib81000 however you see it they still have to go through paperwork to adopt it, I view embryos as unborn babies you don't have to agree with me but that is my belief.
Brittany you are such a faithful strong woman you will be such an amazing momma! God has amazing plans for both of you!
I’m so proud of you Milena 😭🫶🏼🩷 We love you
Some people do not get married. Some people do not have children. Most of my life i have not had friends. I had close to zero extended family support while raising my children. We do have to admit that if we truly want God's will, it may run counter to what we want. I think too that most infertile couples reject foster adoption. That needs to be rethought out. God wants the orphans cared for.
Milena you should definitely interview a Christian IVF advocate, we need more of this conversation!
IVF is unethical, there’s not much conversation on it
I’ve never heard of this. I’ll have to look into it because I’m about to walk into IVF soon here.
IVF is unbiblical. It is playing God! Just because something can be done, doesn’t mean it should.
@MyWifeUsesMyAccount A friend of mine adopted embryos that were over 20 years old. Those poor babies just sat there, frozen for years. If they would have been born when they were supposed to, they would be graduating college, getting married, and living beautiful lives. But that chance was stolen from they due to the selfishness of their parents. Even so, those parents were less selfish than the millions of people who do IVF, get the baby that they want, and then throw the others away. IVF contributes to mass abortion. Also, look into the lawsuits. A doctor put his own semen into the eggs without the parent's knowledge. How do you know that that child is even yours? Also, children have been mixed up. Wrong embryos put into the wrong women. It is a mess. Just something to look in to. All my best to you.
Two of my favourite people. I so wish sometimes that I can join you for coffee. My husband and I have been walking through infertility for 3y1m. It has been the single most difficult thing I have ever had to navigate through. However, what I have learned about the Lord and His faithfulness is unreal. Nothing else in the world would have taught me this otherwise. We are not interested in IVF, I am on hormones, but it took me close to 3 years to agree to it - I had blind faith that God will do it naturally. I still do, and felt defeated when I agreed. But the Lord gave me so much peace during it all; in the thick of feeling so ill, so weak, the Lord is so strong. This generation (born from us) is truly set apart by God because I truly believe they will usher in the return of Jesus and they need prayer mammas and pappas to raise up to stand in what will be probablt the most difficult times, for the Kingdom. We needed to be refined. And truly learn how to tap into the grace of God. Thank you for this.
What a beautiful soul - I pray for you Brittany that God may bless you with children.
You can limit how many eggs they pull, you can also make requests for how many embryos you are willing to having created. You can even limit it to one. The reason the doctors push for me is because of the cost expense. But there are ways to do IVF in an ethical Christian way with your convictions. I have a doctor in OC I used and he does “natural” medication free IVF where you can do it drug free so there for you only have one natural egg available for use. And I believe fully that even if my son was made in a dish that God knit him together himself because there is no way for the embryo to be made besides God.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
just curious… what does he do if its natural and without medication..
@@Pointblankhome the doctor lets the women go through her natural cycle and they monitor the development of your single natural egg with ultrasounds during ovulation. Then with the right timing, they perform an egg retrieval to retrieve your natural produced one egg. And then attempt to create one single embryo from that egg. It isn’t a path commonly talked about because since IVF is so costly so some people prefer to have a few more eggs(for better odds) to work with since not every fertilized egg develops into an embryo. But there are doctors who take a conservative approach with even medicated egg retrievals providing smaller numbers like 6 eggs retrieved resulting in about 3 embryos.
I am just starting the podcast. I hope they go into two very important issues: 1. The principle that God opens and closes the womb is firmly established in scripture. Manipulating that circumstance is like Abraham and Hagar. Hannah is the biblical example for childless women. 2. The stats on how many frozen embryos (humans) are being held indefinitely because the couple doesn't want more children, but also don't want to adopt them out but also don't want to destroy (kill) them. This is evil. So, because a handful of people are doing this more ethically does not excuse the whole diabolical industry.
@@RCGWhothank you for speaking out about this!! Yes!!!
Oh my gosh! I LOVE this collab!!!
Not every egg they have makes it to an embryo stage. and not every embryo makes it to a blastocyst stage.
we went through the fertility route and had all these tests done to figure out the cause. could be a blocked tube you don’t know about or an autoimmune disorder that hasn’t been detected. I’m 32 and my autoimmune disorder began triggered by pregnancy. Once i controlled it, i was able to get pregnant naturally instead. I would maybe think about checking your own overall health and hopefully changing something small (i had to go gluten free) can help! xoxo
22:35 not being ignorant you have common sense and your senses are tingling from the cruelty
Goodness 🥰 What an encouraging episode. Thank you so much Milena and Brittany for sharing. ❤
So glad you were encouraged 😊
An example I have from a Christian perspective food for thought…just because the world corrupts something doesn’t make it sinful in its original intent from God. MARRIAGE, for example. The world has twisted and corrupted and made marriage something that God has not intended(same sex marriage example) but that does not make MARRIAGE wrong. It makes the way the world has twisted it to be wrong.
Same thing applies for IVF. God has given man the talents and skill to do amazing advancements in the medical field. That doesn’t make those advancements sinful. What makes them sinful is when the world corrupts them I.e. abortions and unethically making embryos that will never be used. But there is a Christian Ethical way to go about IVF. Upon your request (for tons of money however) clinics WILL do natural IVF cycles using your one singular egg produced, or you can even limit embryos created to just one.
The same God that knits a child together in the womb is the same miraculous God who knit my child together in a lab. It’s a beautiful miracle and act of God. Nothing breathers life but God. Scientists can implant all that want but that doesn’t mean an embryo is created. God breathes life
I highly recommend doing a thorough study of God opening and closing the womb throughout scripture. This is God's domain.
IVF is a personal decision. Everyone needs to listen to the Lord and his guidance for their own families.
IVf crosses into the realm of playing GOD. You have then the ability to choose only the healthy embryos and also what gender, color eyes, etc. those things should be left to God. He is the one that opens and closes the wombs. Just because doctors can make an embryo in a Petri dish and then implant it in a woman doesn’t mean they should. It is about what is ethical and moral based on the Bible.
OMGoodness!!! You are my two YT ride or dies... and now you are together. Glory to God in the highest, I hope this time together for you two was fruitful and encouraging, thank you for giving us a lil' glimpse!!! ♥
I kind of think congratulations in order😮🎉 happy baby hopefully
i had 5 chemical pregnancies before my second daughter and it was such an emotional roller coaster, i was told to start taking 1 baby aspirin a day to encourage vascular development and i kept the next pregnancy going through 9 months. I understand things like that and other things that help progesterone levels etc. i dont know what my stance on IVF is.... Ive fortunately never been put in the position to need it, and i really sont want to jusge its not my place. after seeing the gay couple who had a surrogate and then found out the surrogate had cancer and to treat it the baby would have to be taken early and would be in the nicu, they forced her to have the pregnancy terminated. Because the baby was esrly, zero parental instincts... I just was heartbroken over it when i heard, the surrogate was on allie stuckey. So theres definitely a slippery slope of things like that where babies are made and then discarded like they mean nothing when life is so so precious..i understand people have great IVF experiences and are great parents and obviously are so so wanted.... So im torn but definitely leaning in and looking for more info but
Had to really pray before listening to this one as Brittany isn’t someone with a good past and very polarizing figure. As a fellow mom with an angel baby this was a good listen

What if she’s pregnant as she speaks you never know I pray she has a baby I truly believe she will have a baby soon! ❤ she will be the best mom! I absolutely love Brittany and I know one day she’s gonna have a sweet healthy baby ❤
This is such a full circle moment! 🎉❤Both have grown so much in Christ. God bless you guys!
I loved this episode 🤗 praying for you Brittany!
Pray for her pets
I. LOVE. THIS. COLLAB!!!!! 👏 ❤
Love you both!
🤍
Awww Milena I cried with you, you sweet soul.
You got Brittany Dawn on your podcast!! ❤❤ this is going to be a good conversation
Oh no Milena 🥺🙌🏼 how can you be friends with Brittany Dawn and support her?! 🙃🙃😖😖
Agreed 😮💨🥴
Really she is so horrible
Can't just say she's horrible and not say why. Why are we worried about who others are friends with? I'm sure you have moments when you overlook your friends faults y@@DarkBunny03
Yeah I was really sad when I saw they chose to highlight her on their podcast.
Can't just say she's horrible without saying why. Why are we worried about who others are friends with? I'm sure you have looked over the faults of your friends at times. Did you pray before making this comment? Do you know her personally to know if she's unrepentant? Like what is even happening here?
I love you two
I lobe Brittany dawn I love yall so much ❤
🤍
My favorite instagram girls 🧡
🤍
Scammer
Really? These women are trying to lift others to Christ and that's all you can say?
I saw online but I don’t know how true it is that when you carry a baby even after they leave your womb, you still carry their dna and cells. Made me feel so happy thinking that even the one I lost is still apart of me in a way. Your babies are still apart of you too 🫶🏼🤎
I’m assuming that the posting of this video plus the silence on IG means that you had you baby? If so congratulations, and hopefully everything was smooth and uneventful. If not, I’m praying for a smooth and peaceful, and healthy labor and delivery!
My friend went through Ivf twice and it didn’t work so she was just in for a bigger heartbreak ❤️🩹
