Postpartum recovery, but make it fancy🥂

Serving up remedies and tinctures in the beautiful glassware we bought just for the birth center has become a new Brookhaven tradition. Mom can make a toast to new life while taking something to nourish her life force postpartum. Oftentimes, we make a drink with herbs like Yunnan Baiyao, a Chinese medicine herb that helps minimize blood loss. We offer these tinctures as alternatives to conventional medicines like Pitocin, which are also available.

We also welcome families to use our glasses to make their own birthday toast!🎂🍾

Some may say we went a *little* bit overkill on the fall sale the other day.

We say if your car isn't filled to capacity with flowers, you're just not doing it right.

Enjoy the mums, mums!🌼🍂

Savvy helping a mom feel confident with her new ring sling!

This mom came in to purchase a baby carrier, and we were so happy to help her try it out! Baby seems pleased, too - scroll to the third picture because she's SO precious!💘

We encourage all our moms to baby wear for the closeness and comfort it provides, with the added bonus to being able to get things done when you need to.

If you ever want to test out a baby carrier or need a chance to be hands-free during an appointment, we have different types of carriers available around the office, just ask! (Although any of our staff are typically more than happy to volunteer as a baby-holder😜)

This sweet pumpkin made his entrance 6 weeks ago and what an honor it was to care for his mama through her pregnancy, birth and postpartum. ❤
We love our clients here at Brookhaven and these sweet pictures are always a great reminder on why we do what we do!
Even though care is complete, we love seeing updated pictures or even a stop by to say hi from our mamas and their sweet babies! ❤

This week our office Mascot, Juniper, learned to scramble eggs and make hearts out of Babybel cheese wax 😂❤️.

We were also blessed with a generous gift of a gorgeous Norfolk Pine for our classroom space. This tree is stunning and has been loved for many years by the amazing Lenna Kiefer. I look forward to continuing to nurture this magnificent tree for many more years.

And a huge shout out to my Tree moving companion. It was a tumultuous adventure trying to get this big tree moved but we did it. 😊

Healthy pregnancy + healthy birth = saving$ down the road

Finances and medical insurance shouldn't dictate how we give birth. Unfortunately, it's a reality we all have to face.

So how do you make your dream birth experience affordable for you and your family?

1. Start with your pregnancy & birth goals! Prioritizing yours & baby’s health from the beginning is one of the best ways to avoid costly medical expenses down the road.

2. Talk to someone about your financing options. We're happy to help!

3. Do you have medical insurance? Find out what kind of contributions you might get. Even out-of-hospital medical care is increasingly covered by most insurances. Don't have insurance? We offer a discounted non-insurance rate.

4. Make a payment plan. Most providers (including Brookhaven!) will offer a way to pay off medical expenses in a timeline that works for you.

At Brookhaven, we do our absolute best to make our care accessible to anyone by accepting insurance, Medicaid, cost adjustments and more. Give us a call or join one of our weekly consultation sessions to find out what your options can look like.

Today marks the first day ever that Alena has used a drill. And she nailed it!! 😂😂😂

I stood by and gave advice for the first hole and then left her at it. Perfectly level and secure. She gets stuff done!

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

Today we remember babies from all around the world born sleeping, those we carried but never held, those we held but never got to take home, and those who came home but could not stay.

Parents we see you and we always want to remember your precious babies. In the comments share a photo, a memory, a name of your sweet little one or simply leave a heart. 💗
