🤱 Postpartum Care Matters—Because Birth Is Just the Beginning 💛

Too often, postpartum is treated like an afterthought. But at Attuned Midwifery Services, we know that how you're supported after birth can be just as important as your birth experience itself.

✨ The postpartum time—often called the "fourth trimester"—is a sacred window of healing, bonding, learning, and transformation.

It’s a time when:
🌀 Your body is recovering
🌀 Your hormones are shifting
🌀 You’re feeding and nurturing a newborn
🌀 You’re becoming someone new

You deserve care that sees you, not just your baby. 💛

With Attuned Midwifery Services, our care doesn’t stop when the cord is cut. We continue walking with you through:
✔️ In-home postpartum visits
✔️ Breastfeeding and newborn support
✔️ Emotional check-ins
✔️ Space to reflect, process, and be heard

Because you matter. Your healing matters. Your story matters.

Let’s make postpartum care a priority, not a luxury.

🛡️ The #1 Pregnancy Risk You’ve Never Heard Of. 🛡️

Did you know that CMV (Cytomegalovirus) is the most common viral infection infants are born with in the U.S.? While it is a serious topic, the good news is that prevention is simple and starts right at home—especially for families with toddlers!

What is it? 🧼 CMV is a common virus often passed through the saliva and urine of young children. For most kids, it’s a mild cold, but for a developing baby in the womb, it can lead to long-term health challenges.

How can you stay safe? ✨ Midwifery care is about empowerment through education. You can reduce the risk significantly with these "No-Share" habits: 🚫 Avoid sharing food, utensils, or cups with your little ones. 💋 Kiss your toddlers on the forehead instead of the lips. 🧼 Wash your hands thoroughly after every diaper change or wiping a nose.

At Attuned Midwifery Services, we are dedicated to keeping your whole family healthy throughout your pregnancy journey. 🕊️

🌿 The Midwife’s Role in Water Birth 💧

At Attuned Midwifery Services, we believe in offering families a range of options for a gentle and peaceful birth. One of the most popular choices among our families is water birth, and for good reason. It’s a beautiful way to bring a baby into the world with comfort and serenity.

Why Water Birth?
Water birth can provide a deeply calming and soothing environment during labor and delivery. Here’s why many families choose to give birth in water:

✨ Natural Pain Relief
The warmth of the water helps relax the muscles, ease discomfort, and promote better circulation. Many mothers find that the buoyancy of the water supports their body, allowing them to move freely and find more comfortable positions during labor.

✨ Gentle Transition for Baby
Water birth offers a gentler entry into the world for your baby. The transition from the warmth of the water to the outside world is often smoother, as it mimics the amniotic environment of the womb. This natural process can reduce the shock of birth and may result in a quieter, calmer baby after birth.

✨ Increased Comfort and Mobility
Water provides the ability to move freely, which can help with pain management and allow for more comfortable positions during labor. You can lean, squat, or float—finding what feels best for you during your birthing experience.

The Midwife’s Role in Water Birth
As with all births, midwives are expertly trained to support families through water birth with care and expertise. Here’s how we help guide you through this beautiful process:

✨ Preparation and Support
Before labor begins, we’ll discuss your birth plan and set up a safe and comfortable water birth space. We’ll provide a birthing pool, set it to the right temperature, and ensure the environment is calm and supportive.

At Attuned Midwifery Services, we provide the care, knowledge, and guidance you need to make your birth experience as peaceful and fulfilling as possible.

❤️ Every heart matters. ❤️

February 7–14 is Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) Awareness Week. CHDs are the most common type of birth defect, affecting nearly 1 in 100 births. One of the most important tools we use in out-of-hospital birth to ensure safety is the Newborn Pulse Oximetry Screening.

What is it? 🩺 It’s a painless, non-invasive test we perform 24-48 hours after birth. We place a small sensor on your baby’s hand and foot to measure how much oxygen is in their blood.

Why does it matter? 📈 This simple "pulse ox" test helps us detect critical heart issues that might not be visible to the naked eye. It’s a small step that ensures your baby gets the right care immediately.

At Attuned Midwifery Services, your baby’s heart health is our priority from the very first heartbeat. 🕊️✨

🌴 Tuesday Tip #7: Eat Your Dates!
Dates aren’t just delicious — they’re powerful birth prep!

Studies suggest that eating 6 dates per day from 36 weeks onward may help support cervical ripening, reduce the need for medical induction, and even shorten labor.

✨ Easy Date Snacks:
• Stuff with almond butter and sprinkle sea salt
• Blend into smoothies
• Chop into oatmeal or energy balls

Ask us how to safely add dates to your birth prep routine!

🌟 Understanding VBAC: Vaginal Birth After Cesarean 🌟

If you’ve had a cesarean birth before, you might wonder if a va**nal birth is possible next time. The answer? Yes, many people can have a safe and empowering VBAC!

What is VBAC?
VBAC stands for Vaginal Birth After Cesarean — giving birth va**nally after a previous C-section.

Is VBAC safe?
With the right care and monitoring, VBAC is a safe choice for most people. Midwives support VBAC by:
• Thoroughly reviewing your pregnancy history
• Collaborating with your healthcare team
• Monitoring labor closely for any signs of concern
• Creating a birth plan that honors your preferences and safety

Benefits of VBAC:
• Shorter recovery time compared to repeat cesarean
• Lower risk of surgical complications
• Greater chance of immediate skin-to-skin and breastfeeding
• Empowerment through natural birth experience

Things to consider:
• Your previous uterine incision type
• Overall health and pregnancy progress
• Availability of emergency care if needed

At Attuned Midwifery Services, we walk beside you with personalized support, education, and gentle encouragement — helping you make informed choices about your birth.

Your birth story is unique, and VBAC might be the next empowering chapter.

Did you know?
✨ Laboring in familiar surroundings can support natural hormone release, like oxytocin and endorphins, which help ease labor pain and promote bonding.

🔸 That’s one reason many families choose home birth with Attuned Midwifery.

🍑 Tuesday Tip #6: Perineal Massage Prep

Worried about tearing during birth? Starting perineal massage around 34–36 weeks can help improve skin elasticity and reduce trauma during pushing.

✨ How-To Basics:
• Use clean hands and a natural oil (like vitamin E, coconut, or olive oil)
• Insert thumbs about 1 inch into the va**na and gently stretch downward and to the sides
• Breathe deeply and stop if it becomes painful

Midwives teach this as a way to connect with your body — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, too.

Annie K***z, CPM, LM

Midwife Annie K***z is a Certified Professional Midwife licensed in the states of Texas and New Mexico. In 2001, Annie began her journey learning the art of midwifery at Casa de Nacimiento, a busy birth center in El Paso, Texas. She witnessed her first birth only three hours after arriving at the birth center, and instantly knew birth was her calling. Annie immersed herself in the study of midwifery and completed her internship and subsequent residency in 2004.

In the following years, Annie had the opportunity to train with homebirth midwives in Colorado, Utah, and Texas. She has always felt that learning skills and styles from so many different midwives has greatly diversified and enriched her practice. Since becoming licensed in 2007, Annie has worked as a staff midwife at both Casa de Nacimiento and Maternidad la Luz, providing client care and training midwifery students. She has a passion for “midwifing the midwife” and sending skilled midwives into their communities. Annie began her private midwifery practice in 2015, and became a provider at the Retreat Maternity Center in 2016.

Annie’s experience in midwifery, and her own births to her four children, has taught her the critical importance of respectful, compassionate care. All families should have access to education and options in their pregnancy and birth care, no matter their circumstances. Annie has made true informed consent a pillar of her midwifery practice. She has had the privilege of working with families from all walks of life. She honors the power of birth, and is awed every single time she witnesses a new life enter the world. Annie has attended over 800 out-of-hospital births, and continues to serve families choosing home birth or birth at the Retreat Maternity Center.
