The American College of Nurse-Midwives has released its updated Position Statement on Planned Home Birth, now available as a member resource.

At its core, this statement affirms that every individual has the right to give birth in an environment that upholds human dignity, self-determination, and respect for cultural context. Choice of birth setting is not incidental to quality care, it is part of it. ACNM underscores that shared decision-making about place of birth is fundamental to ethical, person-centered maternity care.

The statement makes clear that planned home birth should be an accessible option for those who choose it. For appropriately selected individuals attended by qualified midwives, research demonstrates that home birth can support normal, physiologic birth and is associated with lower rates of obstetric and neonatal intervention. Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) and certified midwives (CMs) are educated and prepared to provide comprehensive antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, and newborn care in the home setting.

Importantly, safety is optimized within integrated systems of care. Respectful collaboration, clear communication pathways, and seamless transfer processes between home and hospital settings strengthen outcomes and reinforce continuity.
ACNM also calls on states, payers, and insurers to align policy with evidence and professional standards. Laws and regulations should support childbirth across home, birth center, and hospital settings. Reimbursement from third-party payers and access to professional liability coverage must reflect the legitimacy and value of licensed midwifery care.

For clinicians, health system leaders, and policymakers, this updated Position Statement provides research-informed, advocacy-ready language to advance autonomy, system integration, and equitable access to midwifery services.
Available now in the ACNM member library.

As I was talking to a patient earlier, this acronym was given to me. In midwifery, there are a lot of pieces that go together to complete the puzzle. 

First is the guidelines. These are the standards of practice in which any person providing care to a pregnant woman should be expected to follow. This includes recommendations concerning, labs, procedures and increased surveillance of and delivery of the baby.

Second is the gut. This is your intuition or your “Spidey sense” that comes with experience overtime regarding the pieces of the puzzle that have no exact guideline that fits. Often, this is the G that you learn to trust.

The third G is God. In midwifery, there are some things that only God has an answer to/for. He is the one (that I no doubt know) helps to inspire the gut and brings peace to those that are adhering to the guidelines.

I have found myself saying in the last few weeks, “If we only had a crystal ball,” then we would know the outcome and what choices we should make. What we do have is the 3 G’s and for that I am grateful 💜

We’re so excited to announce the arrival of our newest set of twins, Cyrus and Eliana, born on February 3, 2026 to parents, Courtney and Sam. Courtney was an absolute rock star during labor after carrying her twins to 41 weeks! Sam was an amazing partner and provided so much support and encouragement along the way. It was a pleasure to be given the chance to care for you and your babies. Happy Birthday Cyrus & Ellie 💗🩵

We had several postpartum visits this week and I’m always so blown away at the love shown! 🥰

I had to share this bag that one of my patients embroidered herself. I love it! 💗💗💗
