'Like' if you habe used a midwife ❤

If an OB can get a pregnant patient cared for in 10 minutes or less, what do we do with all the other 50 minutes in your midwifery appointments with us??

I might lay down on the ground with my pelvic model and point at my butt while explaining how your posture influences your baby’s position in pregnancy. (Normal midwife stuff 😂)

We might spend 10 whole minutes palpating your baby’s position with you during your exam, really making sure you know what your own hands are feeling in there so you can connect with her again at home in between your visits with us.

We may take up half the appointment counseling you on your options for gestation diabetes screening, including refusing the whole thing. (What? Options? Refusing?? )

We might designate an entire visit to postpartum planning and helping you get a course of action in place for much more help and support with your upcoming postpartum time than you had with your first baby.

We may practice stretches to alleviate that pesky sciatic pain, massage your round ligaments for you, practice relaxation techniques or just turn the lights low while you lay down and listen to our suggestions for getting better sleep.

It’s care that can not be replaced with a handout, with a zoom call, with your mother’s advice, or a google search.

It’s care that catches the first onset of a complication and works immediately to bring your pregnancy back into normal.

It’s care that listens, care that feels, care that checks up on you in between appointments to see if the remedy we suggested is working.

It’s not above and beyond care, my friends. It’s the base and basics of what women who grow humans need and deserve. It’s the foundation for confident parenting and connection in a growing family.

It’s our undeniable pleasure and absolute privilege to provide such a meaningful model of care. ♥️

Breech Birth - Just a variation of normal birth. In breech presentations at birth, Midwives monitor the baby's position and the cervical dilation. There isn't a need to change your birth plans if the birth progresses smoothly.

You are never "too old" to use a Midwife for pregnancy after 35. Did you know that Midwives can order genetic testing and monitor you just as close as an OB would. The oldest mom we have taken care of was 46 yrs old. There is no care like the care from a Midwife. 🤰

Women who conceive after the age of 35 are often known and referred to as an “advanced maternal age”. If you haven’t heard this medical term before, you’ve likely heard that “waiting too long to have a baby is risky.” Why are women now waiting until they are in their 30’s or 40’s to ...

This is so incredibly true. Just because you had a difficult or lengthy delivery with a previous birth doesnt mean you're next one will be. Trust birth. Trust your body. You're Midwife does.

YES!!! I see this time and time again with my mamas. Just a simple act of kindness goes so far to the physical and mental health of any mom. Let's be the villiage to those around us!

For dads too. I hope you have friends who give you the kind of support you need.

Go comment! Tell them all about your homebirth!

A new upcoming Australian study in midwifery suggests home births are as safe as hospital births. Doctors have slammed it as misleading. What are your thoughts?
