This photo is from the very last birth with 🤍

It’s a little blurry because it was 3am & dim lighting 😂
But it shows a beautiful mom in transition (peaceful as can be!), a supportive husband offering honey sticks as nourishment, and the doula close by with a fan & emotional support. Such a wonderful team!

It’s been a beautiful & emotional 2.5 years of having . This practice became another child of mine! I have grown so much as a midwife, a mother, and a person while having this business. I had the privilege of serving 96 amazing families over the last few years.

As I’ve been reflecting on these families & births, the number 96 just really kept coming back to me.
Psalm 96 says
“Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
 proclaim his salvation day after day” and I just think that is really fitting for pregnancy & birth (and yes-highly recommend reading all of Psalm 96).

While is now done, I’m excited to continue homebirth & midwifery over at

I will be taking things a bit slower as we get ready to welcome our 3rd baby and I am done with births for now until after maternity leave.

I look forward to what the future holds & all the families that are to come!

Thank you to all who have supported me with and running this business. I am forever grateful for you!

Love,
💗 Midwife Lauren

✨Business Update✨

There is some exciting news to share with the birth community!

Midwives, Lauren Delgado and Kayla Harajli are excited to announce the merge between Home Sweet Home & With Women.

The midwives will continue to see women for prenatal care, home births, well woman exams, preconception visits, and more.

Their clinic space is located in West Des Moines & they are eager to continue serving this community! This merge allows the midwives to enjoy doing what they love, but also spend time with their own families and children.

Lots of love for these darling February babies 🤍 The births this month stand out to me particularly because ALL of these labors were truly filled with so much joy! All 4 of these mothers had big smiles on their faces during labor or the immediate postpartum time. It is beautiful to watch women so confidently smile through labor & breathe their babies out earth side!

January was a wild month! Quick labors, babies born in the 42nd week, and 2 babies arrived right in the middle of the crazy snowstorms…all memorable & beautiful 🤍

Family centered pregnancy & birth care:

It can look vastly different, but many would agree it is beneficial and beautiful! This lovely family had 2 children who attended prenatal visits with their mom. They often times helped me obtain her blood pressure, measure her fundal height and listen with a doppler to their siblings heart beat. They were wonderful midwife helpers!

They saw their mama’s belly change throughout the 9 months of pregnancy, and then when she went into labor, they were there. As you can see from these pictures, they were quietly in the room with mom & dad. Her son was rubbing her arms and giving her encouragement and her daughter was right there beside her (just look at her hold that duck thermometer in the 2nd pic 🥹). They asked the midwife and nurse lots of great questions during her labor and were very inquisitive! And then with a beautiful peace over the room, their baby sister was born in the water!

Teaching children that birth is a normal, physiologic process is important. And even moreso, teaching them that birth isn’t scary or something to be feared should be the norm. As a community, let us embrace this concept to teach our little ones the beauty of Gods creation, and together we will see many miracles 🤍
