They caught the babies. They stayed with the families to provide comprehensive maternal-infant care. They served underserved communities.

Before integration of the US healthcare system
Before medical credentialing
Before transit access to hospitals and doctors

Granny Midwives did the work!

They stood in the gap for families in need of expert medical care during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early infancy. They set the standard for the quality of (w)holistic care birthing and postpartum families deserve.

Together, we stand with in remembering and honoring the legacy of the giants who lift us up as birthworkers, educators, herbalists, and lactation counselors. Because of them, we are!

Fun Fact: LABP owner 's lineage descends from the Deep South. Her paternal great grandmother was an African-Indigenous Granny Midwife.

Comparison is a thief.

🪞 Comparison to your former self / selves
🪞 Comparison to others
🪞 Comparison to a distorted social media paradigm

Your beautiful growing body is the first home your baby will ever know. Your body provides warmth, comfort, protection, connection, oxygen, nourishment.

Created with heaps of love just for you, Happy Love Day! 💖 🫂

✨️ For days when you need a need to shake unwelcomed comments about your body, speak "Love Affirmations".

✨️ For days when you feel unproductive, read "What To Do". By doing nothing but living, you are building an entire human!

✨️ For days when you feel overwhelmed taking care of your body's needs, read "Build & Grow Lufe" and "Weight Breakdown". Your body requires a lot to grow a baby and sustain your own life. Give yourself grace.

**** If you suffer or have ever suffered from body dysmorphia or an eating disorder, please seek professional mental health support. Pregnancy can make you more vulnerable to intrusive thoughts.

Modern living has us looking outside of ourselves for solutions. We often believe

❌️ paying more means a better experience
❌️ money can make problems go away
❌️ the marketplace has a quick fix to every problem

When it comes to birth, there are no shortcuts. You have to do the work on the inside and out to make way for new life. That work may begin 3-6 months before conception! Fitness. Nutrition. Hydration. Hint if TTC

You cannot rely on others to do the work for you. Your medical care team, doula, birth partner, childbirth educator, coach, friends, or family can support you with your work; but you must do the work.

While there's no guaranteed outcome, prepare to meet all possible outcomes with more joy, resilience, and groundedness.

Soak up wisdom by listening to this episode featuring Midwife in its entirety because there's a lot of general confusion about the role of midwives, what midwifery care model looks like, and the high quality of care received by families birthing at home or in a birthing center.

⭐️

"Money alone cannot buy you the right birthing experience.

In this episode of The Second Opinion, Dr. Sharon
Malone sits down with Kimberly Durdin, licensed
midwife, lactation consultant, and founder of Kindred
Space LA, to break down what birthing centers actually offer, who they're for, and how they fit into the broader maternity care system.

Together, Dr. Malone and Kimberly explore how birthing centers can support safe, evidence-based care for low-risk pregnancies, while also discussing when hospital-based care is necessary and how collaboration between providers leads to better outcomes."

Adjust your crown and sit upon your throne, Queen. 👑

Grab a pillow and become acquainted with your throne. You will want to remain seated for some time. Supporting you in early labor and active labor, the Dilation Station is your new best friend.

Why? Our subconscious mind associates opening sphincters, relaxing the pelvic floor and perineum, and releasing from the body while seated on the toilet.

Work with what comes naturally to us! The toilet offers relaxation, privacy, quiet moments, and an opportunity to regularly release urine and/or BMs.

Congratulations on the birth of your third baby. Thank you for encouraging birthing families everywhere with your share.

⭐️

"Wow, I discovered this online and HAD to share it with you guys! 🚨 This will be my 3rd birth and I can't wait to try the Dilation Station! 🚽✨️

✅️ Helps baby descend deeper into the pelvis
✅️ Gives mama a chance to rest
✅️ Perfect for counter pressure from your partner
✅️ Can even help speed up labor!

Sometimes the simplest tools make the BIGGEST
difference. 💪 Mamas, add this to your birth toolkit!

"✨Grow Your Baby’s Brain✨

You can’t “spoil” a baby by responding to them - you’re literally wiring their brain.

Every time you pick them up, soothe them, feed them, or just meet their gaze, you’re building neural pathways that shape how they’ll relate to the world, to others, and to themselves. In these early weeks, your baby’s brain is making up to a million neural connections per second. Let that sink in. A million per second.

And do you know what drives that brain development? Responsive caregiving.

Research shows that when babies consistently experience warm, responsive care, it strengthens the architecture of their brain - particularly in areas tied to emotional regulation, attachment, and stress response (Harvard Center on the Developing Child, 2010).

That “spoiled” baby you’re worried about? They’re actually becoming secure, regulated, and connected. So next time someone tells you you’re holding them too much or feeding them too often, just remember: You’re not spoiling them. You’re literally building their brain."

Cuarentena. Sanhujori. Yuezi. Omugwo. Golden Month. 40-day confinement

Tradition whispers "slow down" 🧘‍♀️ while the world insists "keep up or be left behind" 🏃‍♀️💨. In modern times, postpartum families feel pressured to rush. Rush to heal.

⏸️ The body is healing. The mind is healing. The parent's identity is resolving. The parent is in survival mode for several weeks / months and is focused on:
1) maternal health & recovery
2) newborn care
3) safety

Nothing takes greater precedent than the needs of the parent and baby. Did you know - How the birth parent is supported during their postpartum will impact them for the rest of their life (e.g. PMADs, menopause, pelvic floor dysfunction)

Extended family and friends can support by caring for the birth parent's physical, emotional, and mental needs, so they can strictly rest, feed, and bond with the new baby.

✨️ handle all housework
✨️ plan and prepare warm, wet, nutritious meals
✨️ minimize the mental load
✨️ care for siblings, plants, and/or pets
✨️ check in on other parent and caregivers
✨️ keep home warm, quiet, calm, positive

Thank you Kimberly Seals Allers for sharing this community resource and reminding us that JOY is our bright right, especially during times like these.

Our hearts are with black pregnant, birthing, and postpartum families especially those who have experienced injustice, maltreatment, and/or loss.

Tag a BIPOC friend. Text an expecting black family. Encourage a black midwife, OBGYN, doula, nurse, medical care member. Practice culturally congruent care. Invest resources into BIPOC organizations aligned with Black Maternal & Infant Health and Wellness.

"The Black Birth Joyline is HERE!!! 📲📞🥳

Listening to Black birthing people proclaiming their joy on the Birthright podcast has been the highlight of my year! 🌞 Especially after another year of more negative statistics about Black birth outcomes and Black maternal and infant deaths. We deserve some joy & healing! 🤎 It's time to pivot from the doom and gloom narrative too common in mainstream coverage of Black Birth and remember that joy is also a tool for
birth equity."
