Modern Day Midwife

12/25/2025

Some moments in medicine deserve to be paused, honored, and shared.

This week, I had the profound privilege of witnessing my supervising OB/GYN accomplish something extraordinary: his 7th vaginal triplet delivery—a feat that reflects not just technical mastery, but a deep and unwavering respect for patient autonomy, informed decision-making, and trust.

Spontaneous triplet pregnancies are incredibly rare—occurring in approximately 1 in 8,000–9,000 pregnancies. The average gestational age for triplets is around 32 weeks, with many delivering significantly earlier due to the real and serious risks associated with multifetal gestation, including:
• Preterm labor and delivery
• Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
• Gestational diabetes
• Fetal growth restriction
• Malpresentation
• Postpartum hemorrhage

Against that backdrop, what happened here is nothing short of remarkable.

These triplets were carried to 35 weeks—well beyond the average for triplet gestations. At delivery, two were breech and one was cephalic, and yet, through skill, experience, calm leadership, and deep respect for the mother’s wishes, all three were delivered vaginally.

Every single baby had great Apgar scores, were appropriate for gestational age, breathing room air, and are thriving.

This outcome reflects a physician who does not default to fear or convenience, but instead practices medicine grounded in evidence, experience, humility, and profound respect for the people he serves. It is a privilege to learn from someone who so clearly honors the balance between safety, skill, and patient-centered care.

Endless gratitude as well to the Banner University Medical Center team—the nurses, staff, and support personnel whose excellence, teamwork, and vigilance made this outcome possible. And a heartfelt shout-out to Premier OB/GYN’s midwifery team, whose collaboration and dedication continue to elevate the standard of care for our patients. And an even bigger shout out to this wildly empowered mama, for choosing a team that supported her goals. And being one tough mama!

This is what is possible when trust, teamwork, and respect lead the way.

✨⭐️Story Time⭐️✨

Hi Tracy, you’ve been heavy on my mind lately so I thought what better time to reach out than now! Tomorrow is Rowan’s 1st birthday. My miracle baby!! This time last year my water broke at 4 am I remember walking into triage and they asked who my doctor was- I gave them your name and the woman at the front desk said “oh great she is on call, she is already here!” Instantly I felt relieved. By 8:17am he was born. Although nothing about my pregnancy went “as planned” I knew you and Rowan were put into my life by god.

I’ll be the first to admit my faith was fleeting, but over the last year and a half it has been restored. No words will ever be enough to express my gratitude to you. For choosing to take care of me and Rowan and seeing all babies as a blessing even though others often advised against keeping him.

I often refer to you to other people as our anchor and my compass during my pregnancy. Hopefully we will get to see you soon!! In a world that often feels dark and heavy I get to see this little boy as a blessing and light 🤍 RK

Prenatal dx of congenital heart disease and being encouraged to term pregnancy is one of the hardest things to watch a woman face. She faced it exactly how I knew she would. With a heart and faith founded deeply in God. She declined more testing, she declined amnio, she declined termination. She accepted that her baby would be whatever God needed him to be and she trusted in the process and tried to enjoy her pregnancy the best she could.

It is my greatest honor to hold this space.

We are not equipped. God equips the people he chooses. What a blessing to be a part of it all.

Happy Birthday Rowan. You are truly a little miracle.

“Unmedicated VBAC”

I love all births.

Medicated. Unmedicated. Vaginal. Belly.

But an unmedicated VBAC really gets me in my feels.

The amount of women who experience trauma in their birth is unfortunate to say the least. It’s not usually the unnecessary cesarean that causes the trauma. But the lack of individualized care, informed consent, evidenced based practices, and fear based medicine that leaves these women with not only scars on their bellies, pelvic floors, but also their hearts and their central nervous system.

Having a supportive OB who believes in VBAC and trusts women, approaches all care with an individualized approach is one of the key factors in turning a tolac into a vbac.

Thanks to my patients who trust me with their care. It’s genuinely an honor.

I did a thing 🪶

It’s not a coincidence that MDMs logo is a feather. Feather’s are symbolic of Gods presence and protection. I started noticing them when I was young and lost a friend. Feathers everywhere all the time. I never knew what it meant and assumed it was a coincidence. The older I get the more I understand that what my logical mind tags as coincidence is actually Gods presence in my life. I got my first tattoo of my favorite feather ten years ago when I made a complete leap of faith to follow Gods plans for my life. And although faded and old every time I see it, it reminds me of that time of my life that I trusted in him blindly and stepped out of my comfort zone. Today I got another feather on my wrist to remind me of Gods protection and presence. Ten years later…. Tens years more experienced, and ten years wiser…. I am taking another leap of faith. Fully blind but trusting in Gods plans for my life. 2025 is going to be another big year of faith and stepping into the unknown. If you’ve been here for a while you know that I’m slowly learning to listen when God says move. And that’s what I’m doing. Thank you so much to this community, your presence, and your support. My prayer is that this jump blesses this community even more than the last one.

More details to come once I know them. I may not know his plans for my life. But I trust them. And I am hopeful they are more inline with the pillars of health that I try so hard to model for my mamas, that it keeps me in the community in which I have dedicated the last two decades of my life, and that helps me broaden my reach in the west valley without burning out my love for caring for women.

I love each and everyone of you and thank you for supporting me through my growth and transitions.

Grateful to each of you and this beautiful community of women God has blessed me to serve.

Little reminders this Thanksgiving….

All things done with a grateful heart are easier than with heaviness or resentment. I’ve found the more I seek to see the beautiful blessings in my life the lighter, easier, and happier I am while I’m doing them. I pray you take a moment or pause today to look around and count those blessings. Because God is good, even in the trials.

Happy Thanksgiving MDM community.

Philippians 4:6-7
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Galatians 6:9
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
