POV: You swore you were done… but here we are again 🫶

I swear some of y’all see me more than you see your hairstylist 🤣 and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

The best compliment we can ever receive is being invited back to walk alongside you for another birth.

Birth advice from people who’ve never studied birth.

Everybody’s got opinions about your birth. That doesn’t mean you need to take them on.

The only voices that matter during your birth is yours and your birth team’s.

What’s something you have been told that made you 🙄?

Because more women are learning their options, and more supportive providers and midwives are standing beside them. Hospitals are slowly lifting restrictions, and midwives continue to advocate fiercely for safe, evidence-based VBAC care.

Progress is happening.

Safety in birth isn’t measured by how many wires or monitors are in the room.

Birth is safe when your provider knows you and your baby, when complications are recognized early, when interventions are used wisely, when your body is supported, and when you feel respected and heard.

That’s what midwives bring—clinical training, calm judgment, and the ability to see you as a whole woman, not just numbers on a screen.

✨ Skilled care keeps birth safe.

Everyone asks: “But what if something goes wrong?”

It’s the most common question we hear surrounding homebirth. And it’s a fair one because you’re not only choosing where to bring your baby into the world, you’re also navigating a culture that often assumes hospitals are the only safe option.

Here’s the truth: midwives don’t ignore emergencies, we prepare for them, and we’re trained to handle the most common complications while also recognizing when higher-level care is the safest option.

Emergencies can happen anywhere. What matters most is how those risks are recognized and how quickly they’re responded to.

So instead of asking, “What if something bad happens?” try asking:
✨ What are the most common complications?
✨ How does my midwife respond to them?
✨ What equipment and training does my midwife bring?

Those questions give you the kind of answers that build real confidence not just in birth, but in the team you choose to support it.

Birth doesn’t look just one way.
It can be:
✨ Quick or unhurried
✨ Quiet or full of sound
✨ Irregular or perfectly patterned
✨ Calm or overwhelming

And guess what? All of it can still be normal.

You don’t need to measure your story against anyone else’s. The only expectation worth holding onto is this: your body knows the way, and you can do this.

We’ve all heard it: “Six weeks and you’ll be back to normal.”

But the truth is that six weeks is just the beginning.

Pregnancy literally rewires the brain, and those changes can last 2–6 years. That’s why “mom brain” is real: the forgetfulness, the fog, the struggle to focus. It’s not laziness. It’s not weakness. It’s biology.

Why does it happen?
👉 Hormones like estrogen + progesterone skyrocket in pregnancy, then crash after birth (rocking memory, mood, and concentration).
👉 Add in sleep deprivation + the constant mental load of caring for a newborn, and your brain is already stretched thin.
👉 On top of that, the body’s stress response changes. Without enough support, this can set the stage for anxiety or depression.

So no, you’re not “broken” because you don’t feel wonderful, good, and great six weeks after birth. Your brain is adapting to motherhood. That takes time.

✨ Give yourself grace.
✨ Rest when you can.
✨ Lean on your people.
✨ Ask for help. You deserve it.

Your healing timeline is longer and more layered than most people realize.

Our bodies are wired to respond to our surroundings, and birth is no exception.

Lighting, noise, people in the room… all of it can either support or interrupt the natural flow of labor. That’s why creating a calm, safe space matters so much.

What part of your birth environment helped you the most, or got in the way?

Most moms are surprised when contractions don’t stop after birth.

If you’ve ever felt cramping kick in while nursing, that’s your body doing the hard work of healing. Oxytocin (the same hormone that lets your milk flow) also tells your uterus to clamp down, shrink, and reduce bleeding.

It can feel uncomfortable, but it’s actually a sign your body is recovering exactly as it should. ✨

👉 Did you feel afterpains with your baby? Were they stronger with each birth?
