Pregnancy hydration matters more than most people realize.

Your body is expanding blood volume by nearly 50%, building amniotic fluid, supporting the placenta, and nourishing a growing baby.

That requires fluids and minerals.

Signs you may need more hydration
✨ headaches
✨ dizziness
✨ uterine irritability
✨ fatigue
✨ darker urine

Midwife tip
Try adding electrolytes, lemon, or a pinch of sea salt to your water to support better hydration.

Small habits. Big impact.

Three ways to hear the sweetest sound in the world. 💗

In this video we’re talking about the tools midwives use to listen to baby’s heartbeat:
⭐ The fetal doppler
⭐ The fetoscope
⭐ The pinard horn

Each one has its own purpose, its own feel, and its own place in midwifery care.

Fun fact: the pinard horn has been used by midwives for over a century - no batteries, no screens, just skilled hands and trained ears. ✨

Technology is helpful… but the art of midwifery is timeless.

Which one would you want your midwife using? 👇

Midwifery pop quiz today.

My student had me close my eyes and identify cervical dilation by feel on this chart. After years of catching babies… your hands remember.

But here’s the thing - in our practice we don’t check dilation very often. Cervical exams are an intervention, and many times they simply aren’t necessary.

Birth isn’t just a number.
We watch the whole story…movement, sounds, contractions, energy, intuition.

Sometimes the best thing we can do in birth…
is leave the cervix alone.

Until the birth center doors open, I’ve temporarily moved my midwifery office into a separate space here on our property — and it turned out so cozy and beautiful!!

This little office is its own private space, complete with a full kitchen, private bathroom, and gorgeous views of the lake in front of our home. It feels peaceful, welcoming, and exactly the kind of environment I want for the families I serve.

For now, this space will hold prenatal visits, conversations about birth, tiny heartbeats, and big dreams as we prepare for babies to arrive.

The vision for the birth center continues to unfold… but this sweet little office is serving us beautifully in the meantime. 🤍

Congratulations to this amazing repeat family on the birth of their beautiful baby girl this morning.

Her arrival was fast and furious, and mom and dad worked together so beautifully as they welcomed their sweet little one into the world. What a powerful way to begin this next chapter for their growing family.

One of the beautiful parts of homebirth care is that baby’s first newborn exam happens right at home, in the same peaceful space where they were born. No rushing, no bright hospital lights, just a calm environment where baby can stay close to mom while we carefully assess their transition to life earthside.

This photo shows what it looks like when we’re getting ready to do a newborn exam. Quiet, intentional, and centered around keeping baby and parents together.

Welcome earthside, sweet girl. 💗

Prodromal labor, often called “false labor,” is one of the most misunderstood parts of birth.

But here’s the truth… it’s not false at all.

Your body is practicing.
Your baby is positioning.
Your uterus is preparing.

Sometimes labor unfolds slowly and rhythmically before the real waves begin. It can start, stop, build, and change.

This isn’t failure.
This isn’t your body doing something wrong.

This is birth unfolding in its own time.

Normalize the process. Trust the body.

One thing I’ve learned after more than 20 years in birth work is this:

Birth doesn’t exist in isolation from a woman’s overall health.

Hormones.
Thyroid function.
Nutrient status.
Inflammation.
Stress and metabolic health.

All of these influence fertility, pregnancy, labor, postpartum recovery, and long-term wellbeing.

That’s why I’m currently continuing my education through Aviva Romm’s Women’s Integrative & Functional Medicine Institute, diving deeper into root-cause approaches to women’s health.

As I continue building the vision for InnerBirth and the birth center to come, my goal is to bring together the wisdom of midwifery with a deeper understanding of the physiology that supports thriving mothers and babies.

Because the future of maternity care isn’t just about where women give birth.

It’s about how deeply we understand and support the health of women themselves.

Grateful to keep learning, growing, and bringing this knowledge back to the families I serve. 🌿
