Gather & Grow: A Support Group for New & Expecting Moms

Our first meeting of Gather & Grow will be held on Monday, June 23rd from 6 - 7 PM

✨ In this group, we explore:
— Navigating identity shifts
— Birth stories & postpartum recovery
— Intimacy & boundaries
— Self-care & mental wellness
— Building connection & community

This is a welcoming space for mothers in any stage of the perinatal journey — pregnancy, postpartum, or early parenting — to gather in community and connection.
This group is absolutely free to Riverhaven clients, past and present. We do ask if you bring your child they be pre-crawling so that everyone can focus on being present during the group. If you would like more information about the group or would like to let us know you plan on attending please email us at midwives@riverhavenbirth.com

✨The moment little sister becomes big sister ✨

One of the many transformations that happen at birth. The whole family expands and settles into their new roles. This big sister even got the experience of watching her baby brother being born into the arms of her mother and father safely at home.

This momma built her birth team with many layers of support to help her get through her first delivery. With us as her birth team staying close by, and her partner who never left her side as immediate support. Her family waited patiently on the other side of the door ready to help with anything needed. While one grandma made chicken noodle soup in preparation for the postpartum the other grandma made a snack plate of nourishing foods for us to feed her as she worked to give birth to her baby.

Food is one of our greatest tools to fuel the body. Many folks don't have a strong appetite in labor so as a team we gently encourage small bites of food throughout the process. What was your favorite snack in labor?

We think about birthdays a lot around here and today is this midwife’s birthday. Kai is smart, determined and reliable, always at the ready for the work at hand. She is hard working, highly skilled and fiercely loving; a true ride or die with a heart of gold. I’m fortunate to have her as a midwifery partner and friend. Send some birthday love or a special memory in the comments below to a person who always gives her very best to others. Happy Birthday Kai 💛 - Emily
