Tell us in the comments words that were said to you (by friends, family, medical practitioners, even strangers) while you were pregnant that made you relax your shoulders, take a deep breath, and feel safe and confident.

We’ll follow-up with a “What to say to a pregnant woman” post after this dumpster fire. 🙃

Our first baby of December on the 1st. Baby number 8 and everything went beautifully. I love her ability to trust herself and trust her instincts and when she's feeling unsure, he is by her side, reminding her she can do this. Reminding her when she surrenders magic happens. This birth was magical and on her terms and her baby brought into the world gently, with love, and into their loving hands. Feeling so lucky she let's me into her world. Congratulations!

I guess I wasn't quite finished for November. I am loving working with Nativiti Family Birth Center. This first time momma rocked her labor. Her little one was pretty tall like her Daddy.

Ok. I might be a birth j***y. Working with Nativiti Family Birth Center. I had the honor and the privilege of helping 4 family's welcome their sweet babies into the world this week. (One family was shy about pictures) I'm grateful you welcomed me into your sacred space, even though some of you hadn't met me.

Baby number six and knows what she wants and how she wants to do it. I love that! Her first home birth, but all out of hospital birth, so she trusts herself and the process and She is sooooo good at. What a complete joy to serve this family! That's a wrap for November HHH babies!

Do we have a story of triumph and perseverance! She got her VBA2C! It wasn't easy. There's a lot of mental challenges to overcome. She was having a long funky labor with slow changes and a baby who decided to go up a little instead of down. So we transferred to a safer environment. HHH - 20% of births are VBAC with 96% success rate. For me to feel comfortable I need normal labors with some changes and if we are going to have a funky labor I'd rather be cautious and go to the hospital. We all know this can be a challenge as once you transfer, you may not be in a friendly VBAC environment and you might have to fight for what you want. This family stuck with it. We were at 9 cm for 8 hours. We thought gosh this might not happen. She said I want to give it another 30 min and if no change I'm done. She completely surrendered. She told the physician and they agreed. Next thing we know she's completely dilated and an hour later she has her sweet 9lb 7oz little man in her loving arms. It's the first time she got to hold her baby to her chest immediately after birth. I'm so happy for her and this family. Humbled by their trust. Shout out to the team at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands. Our nurses Amy and Melissa were excellent and supportive. Dr. Bullock was patient and supportive. Shout out to photographer and doula Ally Davis for your great work.

Their second baby with us! Well, her second was a lot more work but worth every minute (and pound) she stayed the course, trusted herself and the process, trusted her team. We couldn't be more honored she chose us again and proud of her determination. Way to go momma!

We are raining babies this week. Her second baby at home with us. She wasted no time getting this sweet gem earthside. She was powerful, instinctual, and brought her baby through into her own loving arms. We are so happy!

Here is another example that the mainstream medical system is broken...

Round-the-clock fetal monitoring leads to unnecessary C-sections. But it’s used in nearly every birth because of business and legal concerns, The Times found.
