This is a great, short video on using masks safely.

A face mask is meant to limit the spread of COVID-19. But if it slips below your nose, hovers around your chin, or you touch the outside with your hands, medical experts say that might be riskier than not wearing one at all.

The two other midwives practicing outside of the hospital mentioned in this articles are us! We have home birth practices and offer free consultations to anyone interested in learning about the birth options in Juneau.

Could be an option for those who want to avoid taking resources or exposure to the coronavirus.

This image from a surrogate birth yesterday that my amazingly talented friend captured brings on so much emotion! Grab tissues when you read her caption y’all! ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

Against all odds
~
After more than two years and thru surrogacy, multiple rounds of IVF , breech positioning (that was successfully flipped), and a scramble to change birth plan due to COVID-19, baby Luca was born safe and sound yesterday morning at his surrogates home and caught by his mom at long last.
I’ve been quiet on here for a little while getting myself mentally, physically and emotionally ready to document this incredible birth during this unprecedented time.
It was incredibly emotional to be around other people for the first time in weeks (all in masks and thoroughly sanitized) and for such a monumental occasion. Throughout this tragedy that is COVID-19, I have kept afloat emotionally knowing that but to witness life emerging in real time, amidst such worldwide heartache- I’m forever changed.
~
Now, more than ever I am inspired by the power of humanity and the perseverance of love. Thank you, thank you to and your beautiful surrogate C and your families for inviting me into this year of your lives and for showing me what true sacrifice and dedication to family looks like.
