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 🙌🏻

It was a beautiful day for a little breechie babe!

Complete breech, perfect rotations, and a head full of hair that came last!

Thanks for inviting me to the birthday party Rose City Birth Center

The loss of my sweet mother in law has left my precious family devastated. I appreciate your patience and prayers for us, especially as we head into the holidays.

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!

I am deeply passionate about changing the language and culture surrounding birth. I want to see it shift away from fear and anxiety, to empowerment and knowledge. Let’s recognize what a privilege it is to lift up other women as they prepare to walk through the journey of birth and motherhood.

Whether it was something you wish someone had told you, something that surprised you, or a lesson you learned the hard way, share your best “I wish I’d known” in the comments!

Your words might be exactly what another mom needs to hear today 🫶🏻

Midwives notoriously have a very high divorce rate. This job is HARD on our families. We are often running out on dinner, dates, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and sometimes even more intimate moments 😬. Our kids sacrifice a lot, our husbands sacrifice a lot, and then they’re left standing there to try and juggle all the plates without any idea of when their partner will return.

Today is my 12th wedding anniversary and my husband did not marry a midwife. I wasn’t even a doula when we got married. I didn’t have an on call schedule at all. He didn’t know what he was getting into when we said “I do”, but I’m thankful every day for how he shows up to support this midwife life.

Because I stepped away from the birth center, it made the end of the year unusually slow for me. I’ve gotten to enjoy a lot of fantastic and intentional time with my family, and I’ve been so grateful for the rest! This morning my husband and I took off to St. Louis just to catch a hockey game because it fell on our anniversary and we could. It is so important to me to protect and invest in my marriage amongst the chaos of this calling. To make sure that he also feels like a priority, even when we haven’t slept in the same bed at the same time for a week. I know that because of him my kids and my life outside of work are handled, and that my focus can be 100% where it needs to be when I’m called away. Happy Anniversary to my best friend, and the man who keeps my life running when I’m running around ETX 🫶🏻
