Mountain Home Birth

04/05/2026

💙💙💙 Three baby boys. One extraordinary day.
On March 18th, we had the honor of welcoming three beautiful baby boys into the world — and into our Mountain Home family. Three separate families. Three precious births. One unforgettable day.
And yes — this is a first for us. 🎉 Three babies sharing the same birthday is a brand new practice record, and we couldn’t be more in awe of the strength, trust, and love we witnessed.
To our three newest families — congratulations. You are why we do this work. 🌿

Merry Christmas! 🎄
This Christmas, my heart is full of gratitude.
Thank you to every mother who has trusted me with the sacred work of bringing your baby into the world. Your strength, your courage, your love - these are gifts I witness but never take for granted.
Thank you to every family who has welcomed me into your most intimate, powerful moments. Being present for your births is not just my work - it’s my honor and my joy.
The Christmas story reminds us that birth has always mattered deeply. Every baby is a miracle. Every mother is a bearer of hope. And I am so incredibly grateful to walk alongside you in these life-changing moments.
To the families I’ve served this year: you have blessed my life more than you know. To those preparing to welcome their babies: I can’t wait to meet your little ones in the new year.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with love, peace, and the profound joy that comes from treasuring what matters most. ✨
Thank you for trusting me with your journey.

Midwife skills to check on, because IF we have an issue, it’s usually one of these three…

When interviewing your homebirth midwife, make sure she has these skills and that she talks in depth about them.

Posted • .nacpm.midwives We are proud to take part of Georgia’s first ever consensus bill. 💥
What is a consensus bill? A consensus bill means that we got every type of midwife we could find to the table. This included hours of discussion, going line by line over every word in our proposed bill language for the Georgia Licensed Midwife Act.
🙏🏼Georgia faces a maternal health crisis. We do not have time to play around, attack each other, or grapple for power. We need all the midwives helping, NOW.
✊🏼This bill is midwives of many pathways standing in solidarity with one another, demanding change.
1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣There are four proposed routes to licensure, in addition to decriminalization for midwives who do not seek licensure
🖤Our commitment is to advance the midwifery profession without causing further damage. We did not shift our standards- midwifery requires training and skill. We did the hard work of including midwives who have different perspectives from one another, knowing that only good things can come from this effort.

So glad to see this! Vaginal birth should absolutely be an option with twin pregnancies.

First study of twin home birth published with PLOS ONE!

Kanab, UT, December 11, 2024, 2:00 pm EST -

This study follows 100 sets of twins attended at home by an obstetrician, the first publication looking exclusively at twin home birth. Overall, 91.3% of women gave birth vaginally, compared a national average of 25.2% for twin pregnancies. Most women with twin pregnancies in a hospital setting have few options but cesarean section, even though the evidence shows no benefit to surgery for the majority of cases. This study demonstrates that a home setting that supports physiological birth can yield excellent outcomes and a high vaginal birth rate.

The authors comment:

"Properly selected, motivated twin mothers can successfully birth in a home setting, if they have a supportive environment, a skilled practitioner, and a competent team of birth workers. Vaginal birth of twins, regardless of presentation (breech or cephalic) or birth location, is a reasonable option with excellent success rates in skilled hands and should be offered. Residency training programs should reinstitute the teaching of these skills to ensure that women desiring hospital births are not pushed outside the system. Professional medical organizations and state legislatures should recognize the value and dedication of midwifery care in the community and stop limiting choices, under the guise of safety, that rightfully belong to the pregnant woman. The goal should be to create a nurturing environment, where each woman is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect by a skilled twin practitioner and where her choices are not just tolerated but enthusiastically supported."
