For some families, water offers a sense of ease, warmth, and grounding during labor. Water birth can support relaxation, help the body soften and move with contractions, and create a calm, supported transition for baby.

At , care is centered on your individual needs, preferences, and comfort. We believe in creating space for informed choice and honoring the way each family experiences birth. Water immersion is one of many options we offer to support you through labor in a way that feels aligned with your body and your goals.

Whether you are exploring water for comfort, mobility, or a more intuitive labor experience, our team is here to walk alongside you, answer questions, and support you through every step.

💛 Your birth is personal. We are here to help you feel informed, supported, and empowered in the choices you make.

A cesarean birth is still birth—and your story matters.

This support group honors the complexity of C-section experiences and offers a compassionate space to reflect, heal, and reconnect with your body and birth story alongside others who get it.

Hosted by cesarean moms from our community. RSVP at the link in our bio 🫶🏼

There is a lot of conflicting information about pregnancy beyond 40 weeks, and it can understandably create worry for expecting families.

Having access to clear, evidence-based information helps you feel grounded, prepared, and confident in your choices. Understanding what is typical, what is monitored, and what options exist allows space for thoughtful decision making rather than fear based pressure.

As you explore care beyond 40 weeks, your body, your baby, and your care team continue working together. Knowledge and open conversation support informed choices that align with your values and your circumstances.

2025 Year in Review

What a year of connection, community, and so many beautiful moments.

Looking back on 2025, our hearts are full. Thank you to every family who trusted us, showed up, shared your stories, and allowed us to walk beside you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This work is sacred and we never take it lightly.

Here is a look at what this year held for us:

👶 31 Families Served
We are so grateful for every single one.

💙 15 Baby Boys
💖 16 Baby Girls
A perfectly sweet mix of little ones.

🍼 Smallest Baby: 5 lbs 4 oz
🧸 Biggest Baby: 8 lbs 14 oz
Each birth different, powerful, and meaningful.

🤰 258 Classes, Groups and Meetups
Education, support, movement, community circles and so many opportunities to connect with you. This is the heart of what we do.

Thank you for showing up for yourselves and for each other. Thank you for trusting our team. Thank you for continuing to build this community with us, one birth and one moment at a time.

We cannot wait to support even more families in 2026 (in new and exciting ways).

Here is to growth, healing, and a year full of beautiful beginnings. 🌸🫶

Many people are surprised to learn how extensively midwives are trained for emergencies. Midwifery care is rooted in trusting the physiologic process of birth, but it is also built on preparedness, skill, and clinical excellence.

Licensed midwives are trained in CPR, neonatal resuscitation, managing shoulder dystocia, responding to hemorrhage, treating infections, and recognizing when a situation needs a higher level of care. They bring oxygen, IV supplies, medications, and other emergency tools to every birth. Safety is never an afterthought.

And if transfer to a hospital becomes necessary, midwives collaborate with medical teams to support the smoothest and safest transition possible while continuing to advocate for the birthing family.

At the heart of The St. Augustine Birth Collective is this balance: holistic, relationship-based birth support with the medical readiness needed to protect families through every stage of labor and postpartum.

This is what comprehensive midwifery care looks like. Calm. Skilled. Prepared.

Baby showers often focus on adorable outfits and the newest baby gadgets. Those gifts are sweet, but sometimes the most meaningful support isn’t a “thing” at all. It’s care, time, and relief for a growing family.

Here are some thoughtful alternatives that make a real difference during pregnancy and postpartum. House cleaning, childcare for older siblings, gift cards for groceries or meals, funding for doula or midwifery care, massage, chiropractic support, and nutritious freezer meals all help lighten the load in a very real way. Even contributing through wellness-based registry platforms can be a huge gift.

If you want to give a parent something truly helpful, consider offering support that fills their home with ease, nourishment, and rest.

Mamas, chime in below with the favorite gift you've received that wasn't a 'thing'!
