Happy birthday sweet baby! Your momma is one determined, full of grit woman trusting that her body and her baby knew what to do and completely surrendering to the process. After much work and little sleep your mother birthed you into the warm water in a soft lit room and lifted you to her chest. The first sun rays kissed the sky, the birds sang an eager welcome and your father was right there beside you looking proudly at his new little family while your grandmother wept tears of joy and gratitude. You are so loved.

Happy birthday little one! Another sweet birth for the month of May! He didn’t waste any time getting here! His momma birthed him with a quiet strength in a low-lit room in a warm birth pool where she reached down and brought him up into her arms. He was greeted with gratefulness and joy by his mother, his father and his grandmother.❤️

Happy International Day of the Midwife! As someone who is a midwife and has been cared for by midwives 8 times I deeply appreciate midwives and their hearts! They pour love, labor and long hours into the families they serve. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be cared for by midwives and for the families that have chosen me to care for them. ❤️

Welcome little one! God is good! The sweetest ‘butter birth’ today!Strong, confident mother who caught her own baby while her husband held her. A gentle, alert little boy just looking at his parents adoringly. Our team supporting and available watching the miracle of birth. And as a bonus-I got to leave my house during the day and come back while it’s still daylight!

Good exercises for birth preparation:
Butterfly stretch- (see picture below)
Squats
Pelvic tilts
Walking
Pregnancy yoga
Side-lying release
Inversion
Robozo sifting
Small amounts of consistent exercise is better than doing ‘All the things’ but only once a week. Get outside and move! You’ve got this! *photo used with permission

Drink your tea! I currently have a couple bags of freshly made, organic pregnancy tea in stock at my office. Pregnancy tea is nutrient dense, nourishing and preparing your body for labor. Drink it hot or iced. I generally recommend a cup a day till the third trimester and then increasing it to a quart a day. Safe for postpartum as well.

Waterbirth is a safe, evidence-based option for low-risk pregnancy.
Waterbirth:
•reduces stress hormones
•provides natural pain relief
•promotes relaxation
•reduces perineal trauma
•supports optimal fetal positioning
•can shorten labors
•provides a gentle entry for the baby •immediate skin to skin
•increases the mother’s satisfaction with her birth.
I attended an educational training with Barbara Harper and Waterbirth International in 2004. I went on to have 5 of my own babies in the water and support many women in Waterbirth.
