In the hospital, I’ve seen women told again and again that once they’re in active labor, they shouldn’t use the bath because it “raises the risk of infection.”

They’re not wrong.
Water immersion does slightly increase infection risk but the increase is very small.

Large reviews (including Cochrane) show no significant increase in maternal or neonatal infection with water immersion compared to land birth, with overall infection rates remaining well under 1% in both groups.

On the plus side?
Water immersion is associated with lower pain scores, shorter labors, and a reduced likelihood of epidural use.

I fully support a woman’s right to make an informed decision about using a warm bath knowing both the benefits and the risks.

Here’s where they lose me.

While moms are repeatedly warned about infection risk with the bath, I rarely hear the same level of counseling when it comes to interventions providers often want her to say yes to.

For example:
• After 8 or more cervical exams, the risk of intrapartum infection increases by about 1.7×.
• Epidural analgesia is consistently associated with a much higher rate of maternal fever, affecting 15–25% of people who receive one.

Those risks are substantially larger yet they’re often minimized or not discussed at all.

This is the heart of the midwifery model of care.
Not steering women away from comfort measures out of fear.
Not presenting selective information to influence consent.

But offering balanced, evidence-based information so women can make decisions that align with their bodies, their values, and their vision for birth.

True informed consent means every option is explained with the same direct honesty. If you labored in water - what did it change for you?

Midwives are like lifeguards.
If you know how to swim and you’re moving confidently through the water, our job isn’t to interfere... it’s to watch.

Birth works the same way.
When labor is progressing normally and you’re supported, informed, and coping well, midwifery care is calm, observant, and hands-off.

We stay close.
We’re trained for emergencies.
But we don’t create waves where there aren’t any.

Fetal distress is often a symptom of a system that treats the mother and baby as separate entities.

But physiology tells us something different.

Babies in the womb rely on their mother for oxygen, blood flow, and heart rate regulation and they are also influenced by her nervous system.

Maternal hormones such as cortisol or endorphines cross the placenta and shape the environment the baby is laboring in.

So when a mother is restricted from movement, denied food or water, disreguarded emotionally, or pushed into a state of fear or overwhelm, the stress doesn't stop with her.

The baby experiences it too.

Now I know not every case of fetal distress is due to enviormental factors. But we HAVE to start respecting birth as a shared physiologic system.

If we want healthier births for babies we have to start caring for the mother first.

Not long after starting my independent midwifery practice I learned that I would have to find a different space from the one I was renting.

At the time, it felt terrifying to purchase a large building and renovate it into a birth center, with no guarantee that I could generate enough business to cover the costs.

A small part of me wanted to go back to working for the hospital and throw my midwifery dreams out the window. But a bigger part of me said, “This dream wouldn’t be on your heart for no reason.”

Now, seeing my little footprint wall being filled month by month - with many more to be added this year - I can’t help but pause and appreciate how far I’ve come.

THANK YOU to everyone who believed in this dream, the women who worked alongside me as it came to fruition, and especially the parents who trusted Miracle Moments Midwifery with their births. None of this would be possible without YOU.

I cannot wait to see where we go in 2026 🥰

Looks fantastic if I do say so myself 💁🏻‍♀️🙌

I can still remember being taught that if nothing changed after 4–6 hours, it was time to intervene.”

That’s the obstetric model.
Progress is measured by a clock.
And if labor doesn’t follow it, something must be wrong.

Four years of midwifery has taught me something very different.

We once supported a mother who labored powerfully to 9 cm… and then stayed there for over 10 hours. There was no panic. No rushing. We watched her. We listened to her body. Eventually, labor picked back up and she birthed her baby.

No rescue required.

Midwives are trained to believe you are capable.
That your body isn’t broken.
That labor isn’t linear and doesn’t owe anyone efficiency.

One of the most important skills a midwife learns is how to sit on her hands.
To wait.
To trust.

The medical model is taught to do.
Midwifery is taught to trust.

And for many families, that makes all the difference.

The hours after a baby is born shouldn’t feel clinical.
It should feel quiet.

Baby on your chest.
You tucked into bed.
The lights low.

We check on you without separating you from your baby.
We make sure you’re fed.
Warm, nourished, safe.
Then we step out and let your family bond in peace.

Midwifery care isn’t checklist-centered.
It’s family-centered.
Because healing happens best when you’re held, not rushed.

This is how postpartum was meant to be.

This is often the very first feeling of your intuition as a mama—the little nudge that something feels off or that you want more for your birth. 💛

It’s important to start trusting yourself wholeheartedly. Your instincts are valid, and they’re guiding you toward the care and support that will help you have the birth you truly want.

50–80% of pregnant women are deficient in one key mineral - Magnesium.

Low magnesium has been linked to poor sleep, increased anxiety or irritability, muscle cramps, headaches, and higher muscle tension...including the uterus.

Magnesium plays a major role in nervous system regulation and muscle relaxation, both of which matter deeply in pregnancy and labor.

When magnesium is low, calcium balance is often affected too. Calcium supports muscle contraction, while magnesium allows muscles to relax. If magnesium is inadequate even with sufficient calcium muscles can stay tense longer.

For moms in my care, I prioritize magnesium-rich foods first, and when appropriate, provider-approved supplementation that supports sleep, relaxation, and overall comfort in pregnancy.

Always discuss supplementation with your provider but if sleep, tension, or mood have felt off, this is worth a conversation.

Everyone guessing cervical dilation…
but only one of us actually does this somewhat regularly 👀

And reminder:
Cervical dilation ≠ how close you are to meeting your baby.

Labor isn’t a numbers game.
It’s movement, hormones, position, and (most importantly) patience!
