I can’t believe we forgot to post our Summer Baby Board! So sorry to all of the families who have been waiting as the seasons have changed.
☀️ The summer was filled with beautiful new lives and stories of determination and resilience, healing and patience.
👩🏽‍🍼 We are honored to be invited into these incredibly special moments, and don’t take the invitation for granted.
🌱 We are excited to see how these babies and families continue to grow and make their mark in the world.

Or…if you switch the perspective to a normal, physiological one…”Could obstetrics be the cause of the American maternal health crisis?”
Because midwives were the norm, should be the norm, until about 100 years ago when birth switched to hospitals with doctors and healthy outcomes went up and down and now are currently in an absolutely abysmal state for a high-resource country. Those countries that have much better maternal health outcomes? Utilize midwives. How is it that we cannot see the issue for what it is?! When you try to interfere with normal, when you try to control what is out of our control, when you think that you know better than nature/Creator, you get repercussions. Profit over people leads to poor health outcomes.
Be informed. Know your options.

What a Spring. The beauty that comes with walking alongside those who carry life doesn’t always come with happy endings. Life can be so fragile and birth plans can change and we can hold both joy and sorrow in our hands. What a gift it is, no matter the outcome, to love, support, and bear witness to the transformations that take place as mothers bloom and families strengthen and children make room for siblings. We love these families fiercely and are so humbly honored to have been welcomed into the most intimate times of their lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

One of the benefits of community midwifery that isn’t talked about enough…getting to have loving pets included in home visits while you sit cross cross applesauce on a homemade quilt and talk openly with a new mama and her babe abut the joys and sorrows of new parenthood.

While I always appreciate posts like this one by MotherLove Herbs, it is always important to me to set the standards correctly. When we set the standard at what is historically, culturally and physiologically normal - birth with midwives and not with OBs - the statistics look different.
Birth with midwives doesn’t lower rates of preterm births; birth with OBs increase the rates of preterm births.
Birth with midwives doesn’t lower the rates of pain relief meds. Birth with OBs increases the rates of pain relief meds.
Birth with midwives doesn’t lower the rates of cesarean sections. Birth with OBs increases the rates of cesarean sections.
Birth with midwives doesn’t lower the rate of episiotomies and forceps and vacuum deliveries. Birth with OBs increases the rates of episiotomies and forceps and vacuum deliveries.
Birth with midwives doesn’t raise maternal satisfaction rates. Birth with OBs lowers maternal satisfaction rates.
Birth with midwives isn’t cost-effective. Birth with OBs is cost inflated.

Midwives have been supporting women giving birth since the beginning of time. OB-attended birth is a new intervention and not what the standard should be for a normal, low-risk people. When you set the standard at midwives, you begin to see the story as it truly is.

Welcome to all of our Winter Babies! Through snow storms and heat waves, these babies have brought love, joy and laughter to their families as well as their midwives. We love each and every one of these precious little ones and are honored to be able to be part of their beginnings. So much hard work and dedication has gone into each of these names on the birth board and we are awed and inspired by the families that put them there!
