⭐ Pregnancy Tip of the Week ⭐

Struggling with back, hip or p***c pain during pregnancy? You’re not alone! It’s extremely common as your body changes and your center of gravity shifts. Common doesn’t mean normal though! Pregnancy isn’t meant to be miserable.

A few things that may help:
✔️ Side-lying with pillow support between knees
✔️ Gentle daily stretching (Spinning Babies)
✔️ Avoid sitting cross-legged for long periods
✔️ Keeping hips aligned when sleeping
✔️ Chiropractic care (I love T Spine & Essential Living!)
✔️ Magnesium & regular epsom salt baths
✔️ Good nutrition and hydration to support your changing body

Save this post for later or share with a pregnant friend 🤍

This year has been a wonderful shift in my practice. I am balancing the sacred work of motherhood and the sacred work of midwifery with a lot more intention.

Stepping into a smaller home birth only practice has been scary, but fulfilling! Last weekend I got to take a pretty impromptu trip to Northern NY with my oldest to brave the cold (-13 degrees at times!) and to get a little reset before my March babies decide to start joining us 🙂

I love the balance I’ve created so far to take on less clients at times to prioritize my family’s needs, and then taking on more clients some months to prioritize my calling to this work.

So enjoy some pictures of our trip, and call me for your August and beyond babies! ❄️😘

*As always I am still holding space on my calendar for late breeches 💜

Even ChatGPT thinks all midwives do is snuggle babies 😂😤😩 that’s not even 25% of my job man 😅.

I have enjoyed this trend though! I’m missing 2 kids, and I’m trying to figure out why there a chip in my coffee, but otherwise I think it’s pretty cool! 💜

Let me see your ChatGPT caricature!

✨Here’s the prompt “create a caricature of me based on everything you know about me!”

Here’s your cold weather tip of the day 😉❄️☃️

01/14/2026

Verizon is currently experiencing a network outage, and as a midwife who uses them, this is basically a complete nightmare. Especially when you have a multip who is 39 weeks. If you are a current client you have 2 backup numbers to reach me at in your contract. Thankfully my husband and I use different cell carriers so you can reach me through him. I also have WiFi so iPhone to iPhone messages and calls are still working. Non Apple users can also reach me via email for non emergencies. Please be in prayer that this is fixed swiftly because it is VERY distressing to birth workers and I’m sure other on call professions.

I want to start a “Midwifery Monday” series where I answer your questions about midwifery, home birth, placenta encapsulation, how to become a midwife, and any other questions y’all can come up with!

Drop your questions in a comment, DM me, or shoot me an email at hollyclayburnclayburn@gmail.com and put Midwifery Monday in the subject.

I plan to make a video addressing your questions 🫶🏻

It’s a busy day around the office!

01/06/2026

If you know me, then you know I love a good cup of coffee. If you don’t know me, well now you at least know I love coffee 😂☕️

It’s rare you’ll find me in my office without it, and I strive to set up appointments to feel like friends chatting over coffee… or water because you should definitely have your water with you.

If you are looking for a provider who gives you the time, attention, and education that you deserve then let’s chat! I have some late transfer availability and I would love to give you the prenatal care and connection your heart desires.

Contact me today for late availability. Still booking July and beyond dates ✨🥰

This is something I always try to discuss when preparing clients for an unmedicated birth.

If you end up being vocal and didn’t prepare yourself for that, it can feel like you were out of control and chaotic. You can still have a calm birth and be vocal.

Calm can look and feel different to everyone. What is a “calm” birth to you? Was calm your goal? Let me know!

Happy New Year, East Texas! 💙

Usually I do a “year in review” of birth stats and talk about the previous year. While I am so incredibly thankful for all of the amazing families who trusted me with their care… I honestly didn’t have the mental capacity to review the year. I saw some REALLY incredible births, especially some really precious first births. I saw some really scary hemorrhages, and some babies who took years off of my life while I gave them breaths. The year was unexpected in numerous ways, and shook me as a person and a midwife. I know that this is the way midwifery and life go, so I am always going to choose gratitude for the growth.

I am not one for New Year’s resolutions, but I will share some goals/hopes for 2026.
✨Grow my home birth practice. I stepped away from the birth center in faith, and I want ‘26 to be dedicated to pouring into ETBC. I am planning and praying for some serious growth this year!
✨ Grow my knowledge and skills surrounding breech birth. Hopefully I’ll get the opportunity to attend more this year 🫶🏻
✨ Find more opportunities for building community and midwifery relationships, locally, nationally, and internationally.
✨ Find replacement conferences for the two I had plans to attend. I wasn’t able to secure my spot for the Austin conference, and the Classical Midwifery one was canceled 💔.
✨ Personally, I hope to travel more, read more, and have more intentional family time.

I hope that 2026 is filled with joy, growth, and lots of babies for ETX!

I still have some spring availability and will start accepting more clients per month for July and beyond. September due dates will still be limited.

Happy baby making and birthing friends 🙌🏻

Midwifery isn’t just about catching babies, it’s about walking with families through one of the biggest transformations of their lives. It’s about developing personal relationships, ones that hopefully last well after care is done.

Every visit, every heartbeat, every question it all matters.

If you’ve been thinking about midwifery care but aren’t sure where to start, let’s talk 💜 You deserve care that feels personal, safe, and centered on you.

I still have some early 2026 availability, and I’d love to show you how incredible midwifery care can be!
