Received the kindest words from a recent homebirth and had to share. “I got to have my baby, my way.” How beautiful is that?

What a joy it is to know, and to have the opportunity to care, for this family 🏠

Preparing siblings for having a homebirth can make the entire experience smoother, more positive, and even more meaningful for the entire family.

Kids are curious by nature and often have many questions about where babies come from, what birth looks like, and what will happen at home.

Including them in your birth experience has major benefits and if you’re unsure where to begin with how to include them, here are some simple ways to involve them in your birth. 🏠

Caring for this family is an absolute breeze. Every visit and every birth (and we’ve gotten a few together now!) is filled with jokes and laughter.

Getting to watch these kiddos grow over the years has brought my heart the most joy - the big brothers were tots and now they have opinions and costumes (complete with face paint) and their own jokes!

The big sisters are now the quiet tots, carefully watching their parents love this new addition, sweet Annie. Her entrance was similar to the others - filled with love and some work but smiles all around. What a dream, to be born into such love! And into a multi-generational homebirthing family at that!

Little Anastasia, you are so loved, dear one! 🌿

What I’ll remember most about this birth is the partnership. Dad called in the middle of the night for just a check in but we quickly realized it was time to head over!

A quick labor for this first time family, mom anchored by dad’s presence, the two of them moving as one. There was such ease in how she leaned on him and how naturally he supported her. They just read each other’s minds - mom and dad working seamlessly! 🥹 Teamwork makes the dream work!

Born with the sunrise, sweet Jackson, we’re so grateful you’re here!🪴

There’s something about caring for a friend. In some ways it makes my job easier, in some ways harder.

Fizzy’s birth was surprising and difficult and incredible all in one. A reminder that birth can ask everything of us — presence, skill, trust — and that even when the path looks nothing like we expected, there can still be strength, teamwork, and love holding it all together.

In the weeks after her birth, Fizzy has needed some extra care and support, and she is so deeply surrounded by it! I’m endlessly grateful to have walked this road with her beautiful family.

Welcome earthside, sweet Florence.
We love you so very much. 🌿

If you’d like to show some support for Fizzy and her family, I’ve put the link to their GoFundMe in my bio 💓
