We are SO excited and SO honored to be part of an amazing Birth Justice Policy Lab with Yellowhammer Fund , Chocolate Milk Mommies, Margins: Women Helping Black Women & Oasis Women's Health.

Thankful for National Institute for Reproductive Health Action Fund for supporting our little corner of the country.

This is the beginning of a larger movement to ensure reproductive health care in Alabama is safe, accessible, and culturally aligned with the communities we serve.

We’re deeply grateful to the National Institute for Reproductive Health (NIRH) for hosting a strategic planning retreat for our Alabama Birth Equity Initiative. This Black women-led, community-driven collaboration is working to radically improve maternal health outcomes in Alabama through a holistic, Reproductive Justice framework. In partnership with Margins: Women Helping Black Women, Alabama Birth Center, Chocolate Milk Mommies, and Oasis Women's Health, we’re building strategies to:

🧡 Expand access to comprehensive and culturally concordant reproductive, prenatal, and postpartum care

🧡Grow and sustain Black midwifery and leadership pipelines

🧡 Advance policy and advocacy efforts to protect and expand birth justice across the state.

Thank you to NIRH for your partnership and for helping us strengthen our shared vision of reproductive freedom, dignity, and equity for all.

🌿 Your Baby Knows When It Is Time 🌿

At Alabama Birth Center, we know every baby has their own perfect timeline. Estimated due dates are just that — estimates! Only about 5% of babies arrive on their due date.

Our most recent moms delivered between 38 weeks 4 days and 41 weeks 5 days, with an average of 40 weeks and 4 days.. right on time in their own unique way. 💕

Each of these births was healthy, beautiful, and a reminder that babies come when they’re ready.

✨ As long as you and baby are safe*, we trust your body to know when it’s time. ✨

*Births may occur at ABC through 42 weeks and 2 days, as long as labor begins by 42 weeks and 1 day and your pregnancy remains low-risk.

The fourth trimester is the tender season after birth — a time of healing, bonding, and adjusting to new motherhood. 💕

Join us at Alabama Birth Center for connection, encouragement, and community with other moms who understand.

✨ You deserve support, too.

We are SO proud to share that our founder & Executive Director, Dr. Yashica Robinson, is featured in Unbearable: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America by Irin Carmon — a powerful new book that follows five women, each with a unique story of navigating pregnancy, birth, and the systems meant to support them.

Dr. Robinson is one of the five, and her story highlights her tireless advocacy for safe, low-risk out-of-hospital birth, and her unwavering commitment to reproductive and birth justice here in Alabama.

We’re also honored that our clinic manager, Elisabeth, and a former Alabama Birth Center patient are also included — representing the real families and providers working every day to make respectful, empowering birth care accessible to all.

This book doesn’t just expose the challenges, it amplifies the people creating change. 🌿

💜 What Is a Midwife? 💜

A midwife is a trained healthcare professional who provides care, education, and support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. 🌿

Midwives believe that birth is a natural, powerful process, not something that needs to be managed like an illness, but something to be supported.

At Alabama Birth Center, our midwives partner with you through every step of your journey, offering medical expertise, emotional care, and a calm, nurturing presence.

✨ Midwifery care is where science and compassion meet.

Trust the Wisdom Within You, Your body was designed for this. 💗

Birth isn’t about control — it’s about trust. Each breath, each contraction, each moment brings you and your baby closer together.

At Alabama Birth Center, we believe in honoring that wisdom — supporting you as you listen, breathe, and let your body lead the way.

✨ Your body knows what to do.

10/23/2025

At Alabama Birth Center, every story reminds us why we do what we do. 🌿

The love, trust, and connection that form between our families and care team are what make birth here so special.

We’re so honored to walk alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. 💛

When the big day arrives, having a few familiar comforts can make all the difference. 💕

When you birth at ABC you go home 4-8 hours after baby is born, so you don't need to bring a whole lot!

Here are a few of our favorite things to include in your birth bag:
🍼 A going-home outfit (for you and baby!)
🛏️ A cozy blanket or pillow from home
🎶 Your phone charger + a playlist that keeps you calm
🍎 Snacks + drinks (for both you and your support person)
👕 A change of clothes for your partner

Your birth space should feel like your own — comfortable, calm, and filled with things that bring you peace. 🌿

💚 Three Ways to Support Your Partner in Labor

Labor is a team experience. Whether you’re a partner, friend, or loved one — your presence makes a powerful difference.

Here are three simple but meaningful ways to show up:
✨ Be Present: Sometimes just your calm energy is the best support.
🤲 Offer Comfort: Massage, cool cloths, words of encouragement, or simply holding hands.
🗣️ Advocate Together: Help communicate preferences, ask questions, and remind her she’s doing an amazing job.

At Alabama Birth Center, we believe that birth is stronger when it’s shared — with love, trust, and teamwork. 🌿
