Another incredible review from a recent birth.

“The care you receive is far more personalized and in depth compared to the care that you’d get at your typical OB. Having Sarah and her student midwife Lauren at our birth was a privilege. They made me feel comfortable by checking on baby throughout the process, giving me support, and giving me space when needed. I can’t recommend Encompass Midwifery enough!”

Midwestern blizzard on a Monday? Perfect excuse for a little story time. Turn your sound on and let’s chat about what inspired me to become a home birth midwife serving the Quad Cities area.

There was an ease about caring for this family. Labor was slow moving, easing into its own pattern. When things got so intense, this mama kept going - even laughing at a joke shortly before this boy made it Earthside! Then mom eased right into motherhood, dad eased right into fatherhood, and a family was made. There’s just nothing like that first baby!

Joining this family for this birth was extra special because his auntie also has her babies with us and got to be there for his birth!

Welcome Ezra Jon! 🌿

This family pursued homebirth care super late in pregnancy and I’m so glad they took that leap of faith! They knew what they wanted but weren’t quite sure how to get it. Long convos, research and trust lead to the best prize: sweet little baby Lemonade was born into the water, received right into her mama’s hands 🥹

AND we had the best little toddler assistant at our appointments too (ok sure, he got into his fair share of shenanigans but we wouldn’t have it any other way!)

Welcome Earthside, Adelaide, you are so loved! 🌿

Little shout out to the friend who referred this lovely family to me — thank you for trusting me with your people 🫶

A look into a busy week at Encompass.

A birth, lots of appointments, home visits and office visits — including an initial office visit for a repeat client (our FOURTH baby together!)

With home birth there’s no rushing — you’re already where you need to be. You’ll be in a familiar, personalized place and you have complete control of your environment. From lighting, to soundscape, and temperature — you get to have your baby, your way.

You get to pick where and how you are for labor and delivery — from birth position to physical location. You can even change your mind as you progress. If you want to move from one room to another — your call!

What an honor it is to witness every birth I’ve been able to be a part of. Grateful to know and care for all of the babies and parents who put trust in me and have been a part of the Encompass Midwifery journey over the years.

Here’s to many more happy, healthy babies and strong, incredible parents! Couldn’t do it without YOU.
