Birth story coming one day soon…

But for now, just sharing - home birth with twins in Maine is still a thing. ✨❤️❤️✨

In Maine, the landscape for twin home birth has changed dramatically since the midwifery licensure law took effect in January of 2020.

Before, skilled and experienced midwives were attending twin births at home - supporting women through one of the most complex and beautiful journeys of their lives.

Now, due to restrictions that took effect in 2020, licensed midwives are no longer allowed to attend twin home births in Maine - even though in several other states, licensure laws do support licensed midwives attending twin home births.

In short, midwifery regulation across the US, is kind of a fu***ng mess…

In Maine, this leaves women with what seems like two options: go to the hospital or do it yourself - or in other words, free birth.

Both can be safe and valid choices, but what’s missing is the fundamental right to choose a skilled and more supported home birth if that’s what they truly want and are fully informed about and prepared for.

Women deserve the freedom to choose the care that aligns with their values and comfort - and that includes access to midwives who are trained and experienced with supporting twin births at home.

It should be about respecting autonomy and trusting women and families to make the best decisions for themselves and their babies.

Newborn photography 🥰

Birth moves so quickly, and those raw, powerful moments often slip away just as quickly.

When you choose to capture your birth story with professional photography you preserve all of the love, power and beauty of that day forever.

I had the incredible honor of attending Hannah’s birth as her birth photographer. ✨💕

You can hear Hannah share all about her three birth stories in episode 149 of the podcast - out now - wherever you normally listen to podcasts or right on my website MyMaineBirth.com

The way we birth leaves a lasting imprint - on our minds, our hearts, and our identity as women. It influences how we see ourselves and how we show up in every part of life.

In episode 149, Hannah shares her three birth stories with us, from a covid - era hospital birth with the midwives at Maine General in Augusta, to two powerful home births with care from her midwives Rebecca and Antonia at MotherSeed Midwifery.

We talk through fear, logistics, postpartum anxiety, and what it looks like to “lean in and let go” when life with babies gets loud and messy.

Birth is so much more than just a moment - it’s a journey of transformation, a force that molds us into the women we become.

When you trust yourself - you step into your power, and that power ripples through every part of your life. Because how you birth sets the foundation for everything that follows. ✨💕

If you’re exploring your options or just love stories of women reclaiming their births, this episode will leave you inspired.

I’m not a huge fan of all of these days created by organizations like the UN…. To me, they feel a little more like propaganda than true celebration. 💁🏻‍♀️

Real support and recognition happen every day - in the small moments, the quiet strength, and the everyday acts of care.

Anyway, here’s a cute picture of me with my girl. ✨💕

In episode 148 of Katie, who shared her first two birth stories back in episode 20, sits with me to chat about the most recent birth of her daughter Lyra - a powerful journey of trust, support, and claiming her own space in an often rigid system.

There is so much transformation that happens when women step into their power. Birth is such a personal path, and finding your voice makes all the difference. ✨💕

When you trust your instincts and advocate for yourself, birth becomes a true reflection of your strength.

In the quiet, steady support of a midwife, she hears the whisper “you are enough” ⚡️💕

Sometimes, all you need is to be reminded that you’re already exactly what’s needed. You are strong, capable, and ready to bring new life into the world.

Midwifery skills are not just technical - it’s about having the ability to see women for who they are.

The essence of real midwifery is in guiding women and families with calm confidence, helping them find their own strength, and turning support into a sacred act of trust.

It’s always such an honor to witness birth - to see women step into their power, and the midwives who guide with skill, love and respect. ✨💗📸

Midwife: Morgan Miller, CPM, LM, IBCLC

Birth is a sacred journey - one that unfolds quietly when we trust in Gods perfect timing and design. ✨💕

Often it’s about giving ourselves permission: permission to trust our bodies, to listen to that gentle whisper in our hearts, and lean into the support that He provides.

This story begins with a gentle whisper of cramps on a Monday morning. Grace was settled in her new home, built during pregnancy, caring for her toddler tending to her daily tasks, and quietly listening to her body’s cues.

She checked in with her husband, updated her midwife and went about her day. In the late morning she started to prep a freezer meal for postpartum.

By early afternoon, Grace found herself pausing to take breaths at the counter, contractions gently building.

Choosing to birth at home again wasn’t about nostalgia - it was informed trust. Grace knew being in her home and staying in her own rhythm creates safety and peace for her during labor and birth.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re pregnant, curious about home birth, or just want to hear a story of faith and trust.✨💕

As a birth photographer, I consistently have the privilege of capturing some of the most meaningful moments in a family’s life - moments that pass in the blink of an eye, but stay with you forever.

I had the incredible honor of witnessing Olivia’s home birth as her fly-on-the-wall birth photographer. It was a beautiful example of trusting your body supported by the right environment and care. And she shares all about it in episode 146 of the podcast! ✨💕

Birth moves fast, and these memories fade quickly. If you’re considering capturing your own birth story, I’d love to help you hold onto these moments for a lifetime. 📸🥰

Head over to MyMaineBirth.com to view my portfolio of birth stories which includes a few more photos from Olivia’s home birth.

You can find all of Olivia’s birth stories on the podcast in episode 16, 67 and 146 - anywhere you normally listen to podcasts or right on my website MyMaineBirth.com

In episode 146 of Olivia returns as a third time guest to share her Home Birth story! ✨💙

Olivia’s third baby - a little boy - arrived in a swift, five hour labor that started during a regular work day and ended beside her cozy Christmas tree. ✨🎄

From her first birth which was a cesarean with a breech baby, to a quick VBAC in the hospital with her daughter at 36 weeks, and then finally the home birth she had been dreaming about for years.

Olivia prepared, researched, and built a support team that trusted her choices every step of the way - staying anchored in what made her feel safest and most respected.

And.. I had the incredible honor of witnessing and documenting Olivia’s birth as her fly on the wall birth photographer. 🥰

To hear the first parts of Olivia’s story check out episodes 16 and 67. And you can find this new episode, 146 - out now - wherever you normally listen to podcasts or right on my website MyMaineBirth.com
