Welcome baby Briella!

She was born to Charlene and Scott at their home in Dallas on November 11th.

She weighed in at 8lb, 7oz.

Charlene had two prior cesareans and came to us late in pregnancy looking for a VBAC provider. With good discussions and informed consent, she and we determined that we were a good fit, and she successfully pushed her baby out at home!

Charlene then had a postpartum hemorrhage due to a retained placenta, despite the medications that we carry. Maggie and Bailey transferred her to Salem Hospital, where they were able to get the placenta removed and control her bleeding.

We are so glad to be in an area where we have local resources for when complications come up.

We were also so glad to be able to get to know her and her family, and to be invited to witness her birthing her baby.

Birth attended by Maggie, Bailey, and Becca.

We’re excited to share some big news! 🎉

Oregon Sonography is now accredited and contracted with OHP, making it easier than ever to access high-quality ultrasound services.
Reach out to us—we’d love to help!

This has been a year of incredible change.

We are so grateful for the team we have and the ways we are invited to serve families in our area.

We continue to provide home birth, have a beautiful, busy birth center, and do prenatal care for moms planning hospital births (even planned Cesareans).

Thank you to our community for continuing to trust us with your care, and sticking with us as we grow and improve!

We love seeing this picture go around on Facebook every Christmas.

The look on her face as her baby emerged into Joseph's hands, a look that, as midwives we are humbled and blessed to witness often. The way the artist depicts her birthing standing, the power of God and the power of giving birth both in one picture.

Birth is awesome and beautiful no matter where it takes place. We've been asked to attend them in houses, converted sheds, RVs, hospital rooms, motels, and birth centers.

We come to the end of our year in awe of the power of women, and so grateful that we get invited in to witness the miracle of birth.

(It's very likely she had midwives or other women present also!)

With labor and delivery unavailable in Lebanon through April, we are here and can provide prenatal care in Lebanon regardless of planned birth location.

For birth services, we offer home birth in Lebanon and have our birth center in Corvallis. There is also still a birth center open in Lebanon, Growing Family Birth Center.

The safety of parents and babies has always been—and will always be—our priority. Due to unexpected physician departures, a regional OB-GYN shortage, and the need for continuous inpatient physician coverage to safely support deliveries, we will 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 pause labor and delivery services at Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital beginning 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔. Outpatient OB-GYN care will continue at the Lebanon Health Center on Fifth Street on a limited basis.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞.

We remain fully committed to restoring services as quickly and safely as possible and are actively recruiting clinicians.

During this temporary pause, we have plans in place to support patients and families. Learn more: https://samhealth.org/news/open-letter-to-our-community/.

Thank you for your support as we work through this together.

Welcome baby Goldianne!

She is welcomed by Kaydee and Brian, and lots and lots of older siblings! She was born at their home in Scio on November 16th.

This is the sixth birth we've attended for Kaydee, and we were so happy to be asked to be her midwives again.

She weighed in at 7lb, 2oz.

Birth attended by Liz, Bailey. and Heidi.

If anyone is available to come up to Portland tomorrow, Liz could use an emotional support baby for standup.
