Hey friends, 🎉
As the holidays approach, our annual sabbatical has begun. 🥰 This is our “wintering” season—a time with no clients due, where we rest and prepare for the year ahead.

‼️ Our midwife line is still active. If you are currently pregnant or within 6 weeks postpartum, please call the usual number for urgent concerns only. Bethany is off call, but our wonderful support midwives—Inna, Becky, Kim, and Kiesha—will rotate call and each has full access to your chart. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re worried.

💕Urgent Pregnancy Concerns (call the midwife line):

-Vaginal bleeding before 37 weeks unrelated to in*******se
-Rhythmic back pain, cramping, or contractions before 37 weeks that don’t resolve with rest/hydration
-Reduced fetal movement (not normal for your baby) after 28 weeks
-Visual disturbances, persistent headache, or high blood pressure
-Excessive nausea/vomiting not helped by natural remedies
-Swelling not relieved by elevating your feet
-Fever above 100°F

⭐️Urgent Postpartum Concerns (call the midwife line):

-Painful or difficult latch
-Damaged ni***es
-No wet diapers in 24 hours or very concentrated wet diapers
-Excessive bleeding
-Feelings of hopelessness, or thoughts of harming yourself or your baby

📧 Non-urgent concerns (email the midwives):

📧 midwives@northtexasmidwifery.com

Use this email for:

-Lab work questions or follow-up
-Prescription refills
-Supplement or product questions
-Discomforts of pregnancy
-Referrals and other routine needs

✅ Non-urgent administrative needs:

📧 Email our admin team for:

-Appointment scheduling/changes
-FMLA, disability, or maternity leave paperwork

Hey friends! 🎉
Providing individualized, unrushed care is deeply important to us—not just for the families we serve, but also so we can show up as grounded, rested midwives. Because of this intentional approach, our 2026 calendar is already filling up!

💕 If you’re newly pregnant, please reach out to schedule a consult. It’s common for us to be fully booked by the time you are 8 weeks, so don’t wait. If we’re not the right fit or we’re full, we’re always happy to connect you with other wonderful midwives in the area.

📧 Use the contact form on our website and we will get you scheduled!

Thank you! 😊

Hey friends! 💕
The holidays are almost here, and we’ll be continuing routine care for our current clients through Thanksgiving and Christmas. 🎄
➡️ If you’re newly pregnant and thinking about working with us, please reach out soon! We have limited availability for next year and only a few consult spots left before Thanksgiving and Christmas.

📩 It’s best to connect with us early—ideally around 5–6 weeks—so we can start getting you the care and support you need. The first trimester can bring questions about nausea, fatigue, bleeding, or miscarriage concerns, and we want to be available for you during this busy season.

💯 You deserve attentive care, even through the holidays. 💛

☎️ Use the contact form on our website to schedule your consult—we can’t wait to meet you!

New little pumpkins to our patch! 🎃

This October has been full of joy, transformation and the raw beauty of birth. We've had the honor of welcoming three precious babies earthside this month - each arrival a unique, sacred unfolding of strength, surrender and love.

One of these sweet October births was extra special! Our very own midwife, Becky, gave birth to her little one, surrounded by the same care, calm and deep trust she’s given so many others. 🥰

Each birth story this month has been a testament to the incredible power of mothers - the quiet courage, the deep intuition and the unwavering strength.

To the new parents: thank you for trusting us. To our midwife-mama: thank you for letting us walk beside you again.

Welcome, sweet little ones. The world is already better with you in it!

On September 11th, a beautiful baby girl made her entrance into the world in the most memorable way - arriving quickly and swiftly, lovingly caught by her dad. 💕

This sweet family is dear to our practice, and we are honored to have walked alongside them again as repeat clients. What a joy to witness their story continue to unfold. 🌿👶

Congratulations to this strong mama - we are so proud of you!!

We’ve had the joy of walking alongside three beautiful families as they welcomed their babies into the world recently and we wanted to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate them. 💛

Labor and birth is so such an individually unique experience and these little ones were no exception. Two mamas becoming mothers for the very first time and one welcoming her fourth little one… every journey was different, yet each one was a powerful reminder of the strength, love and resilience that birth brings. The one thing each one of these little ones have in common is how incredibly loved they are!

We are so proud of each of these families and honored to have walked alongside them during such a transformative time. Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for trusting us. 🧡👶

Today, we pause to honor the lives lost and the families forever changed on September 11, 2001.

We honor the families who lost loved ones, the mothers who carried the weight of unimaginable grief, the children who grew up without parents and the parents who said goodbye too soon. We acknowledge and remember those who faced unimaginable circumstances and continue to stand today as a beacon of bravery to the entire world.

As midwives, we are daily witnesses to the beauty and hope of new beginnings and we hold close in our hearts those whose stories were cut short.

May we always work toward a world where peace, compassion and love guide our steps. 🕊️❤️🤍💙
