Check us out today at 12 pm central as we talk about perinatal nutrition!

Pregnant women need a healthy diet to minimize the risk of developmental problems with their babies. But many Indigenous people have limited access to fresh food and good nutritional guidance.

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, Yellow Medicine Midwifery will be offering a 10% discount on prices to parents transferring from hospital care in the 3rd trimester for the next 3 months, with additional payment plans, sliding scale and work/goods-for-trade options available. We serve southwestern Minnesota and eastern South Dakota, and are based in Granite Falls, MN.

This pertains to all those experiencing healthy, low-risk pregnancies, including maternal age over 35, VBAC, gestational diabetics not dependent on medication, and Rh-.

We are offering this not only because of the growing concern over the possibility of maternal/neonatal infection in the hospital setting, but also to conserve medical resources (including simple bed space) for those that require in-hospital medical care. Recognizing pregnancy as a normal, healthy life event means that it usually does not require medical or pharmaceutical intervention.

We also understand that homebirth is not the first option for many people now considering it in the face of a global pandemic. Midwives hold client autonomy as an important factor in the care we provide, and our hearts break for those who do not feel they can bring their babies into the world in the ways that they have chosen to do so. We hope that we can all hold and support each other in these trying times, and will continue to provide what services we can to our communities.

If the current situation worsens, we will be expanding to provide well-womb care for those requiring routine gynecological care.

Please contact Autumn at 320-444-5645 or yellowmedicinemidwifery@gmail.com with inquiries, questions or concerns.

Do you know someone who is pregnant or recently had a baby?

Come check out the silent auction tonight at Talking Waters benefiting Wildwood Montessori, featuring this New Mama Care Package!

Like midwifery care, Montessori education provides a wonderful option for parents looking for alternative ways to educate and grow their families. We need to foster a multitude of childcare options in our region, so that we can find something that best suits the needs of our children and families.

Check out the links to the scientific articles cited! It is always important to remember that anything in life, including birth, has risks. Each place available to you has its own set of risks- educate yourself about what those risks are, so that you can make a decision based on good information!

Considering homebirth? Good news! Recent research shows for low-risk pregnancies homebirth is safer and costs less.

While this is an advertisement for a class, this really is important information for anyone trying to get pregnant and to prevent being pregnant. Being familiar with your individual body and individual cycles will help you stay healthy, because you will be able to identify when something is abnormal for you.
