Alba Birth Center

01/21/2026

Giving birth has been likened to being in a labyrinth. Not knowing exactly where you have to go to get to the end, but committing to the experience and wherever it may lead you. This momma's second Alba birth was much like this. Her first birth was a planned hospital birth turned cesarean, and her next was a redemptive VBAC at the birth center. For her third birth, she was hoping for something a bit quicker, and hopefully straightforward!
However, this is not always the lesson of birth.
Labor had a bit of a stop & start pattern for a day, finally leading into a more solid labor pattern, but really only staying strong & consistent in upright positions. She labored with determination through the night and as the sun rose; felt the urge to push! After pushing longer than she anticipated, her baby girl finally made her appearance, completely posterior!
Posterior babies, or “sunny side up” presenting babies, are positioned with their spine to their mothers spine, facing up! Most babies if posterior, will turn during labor to be anterior(with their spine to their mothers stomach) as pushing starts, to help the diameter of the head be smaller and easier to emerge.
Evelyn decided to surprise us all (while validating her mother’s experience of something feeling much different from her previous labor experiences) and was born perfectly posterior, greeting us all with an adorably grouchy expression!

A special birth in so many ways. This family called with the excitement that they were expecting baby #2 and wanted a home birth with the Alba midwives. After a long hard labor with their first baby, who was born in the Azalea room at Alba, a peaceful home birth sounded like the perfect option.

The sun rose on that Saturday morning, labor was subtle but there. Excitement built, texts were sent, arrangements were made, and finally it was time to head their way to meet baby. In the bright light of their beautiful living room, mom sunk into the tub to prepare for the welcoming of babe. None of us knew what the gender of baby was yet at this point, so the excitement of this secret lingered in the corners of the room.

Mom brought baby into her arms so gently where she kissed and hugged, and loved on baby. Finally dad was ready to share what this little baby was, he let out the sweetest “you got your girl!” and we all shed a tear.

They settled in to bed and their first baby came to meet his baby sister.
Momma's sister, who had given birth just months prior, and the two shared a sweet time together, in awe of their precious girls.

Welcome Emory, we love you! 7lbs 15oz🤍

Motherhood doesn’t make us, it opens us.
Opens us to:
A love we have never known
A power from deep within
Breaking down of walls we didn’t know we had built
Growing, changing, molding

Into who we are meant to be.

I answered the phone, and it was dad this time. Less than one hour ago, it was momma on the phone giving me an update. When I asked if we could meet at the birth center in 30 minutes his answer was, “Ummmmmmmm…Im not sure that’s going to work for her”...I hear her voice as a contraction washes over her...“You guys can see me in street clothes”, I tell him. “ I will meet you in 10 minutes”. I raced to the birth center and somehow got their birth suite set up seconds before momma and dad arrived. We got them settled into the room and it was evident that this baby girl was on her way. Momma pulled from all of the strength at her core and brought her daughter forth as her water broke right into her father’s waiting hands. Molly was welcomed into this world with exclamations, wonder, love, and joy!

Welcome Molly! 7lbs 12oz🤍

We’re SO excited to welcome Midwife Hanna Camarena back to the team! 💜

She stepped away for a bit to be home with her little ones, but she’s missed midwifery big time — and we’ve definitely missed her.

If you’ve met her, you already know the kind of warmth, care, and calm presence she brings into every birth space. Our families adore her, and we’re thrilled to have her back doing what she loves.

Drop a “welcome back!” below so she feels all the love! 👇
