🌼 Thank You, Yellowhammer Fund! 🌼
We are deeply grateful to our ongoing supporter and partner in reproductive justice, Yellowhammer Fund for their continued trust and generosity. Their recent $20,000 subgrant will directly strengthen our work at Alabama Birth Center—and we want them to know it does not go unnoticed.

Because of supporters like Yellowhammer Fund, we’re able to expand access to compassionate, culturally responsive midwifery care in one of the nation’s most severe maternal health care deserts. Their commitment helps us show up for families who face the greatest barriers, ensuring they receive the dignity, support, and care they deserve.

Thank you, Yellowhammer Fund, for standing with us, believing in our mission, and helping us build a healthier, safer future for Alabama families. 💛✨

Today on Giving Tuesday, we’re asking our community to help expand safe birth options in one of the nation’s most severe maternal health care deserts. Alabama has one of the nation’s worst maternal health care deserts, with 40% of Alabama counties have no maternity care providers at all.

ABC has created a midwifery-led model that restores access to safe, supportive birth options, and we hope your donation will continue to support the work that we do!

When you donate through Zeffy, 100% of your gift goes directly to Alabama Birth Center—no fees, no extra costs, just pure impact.

💛 Support midwifery care.
💛 Support families.
💛 Support safe birth options in Alabama.

✨ Happy Birthday! ✨
We’re welcoming another beautiful babe into the ABC family!

Each new arrival fills our hearts — welcome to the world, Baby N 🎀, and welcome to the Alabama Birth Center family. 💜

Through Connected Care, our collaborative mode, we’re able to share the midwifery model with families who may not otherwise be able to have an out-of-hospital birth — such as those who have had a prior cesarean. This partnership offers seamless support while keeping your preferences at the center. It also includes birth education classes & a birth doula during active labor.

Midwifery care is changing the landscape of birth. Midwifery care matters. 💜

Fueling your body during labor? YES. ✨

The World Health Organization supports eating and drinking in labor for low-risk births, because staying nourished helps you sustain your energy while your body brings your baby into the world.

Every birth is unique; always follow your midwife’s guidance and your own intuition. 🌸

We are SO excited and SO honored to be part of an amazing Birth Justice Policy Lab with Yellowhammer Fund , Chocolate Milk Mommies, Margins: Women Helping Black Women & Oasis Women's Health.

Thankful for National Institute for Reproductive Health Action Fund for supporting our little corner of the country.

This is the beginning of a larger movement to ensure reproductive health care in Alabama is safe, accessible, and culturally aligned with the communities we serve.

We’re deeply grateful to the National Institute for Reproductive Health (NIRH) for hosting a strategic planning retreat for our Alabama Birth Equity Initiative. This Black women-led, community-driven collaboration is working to radically improve maternal health outcomes in Alabama through a holistic, Reproductive Justice framework. In partnership with Margins: Women Helping Black Women, Alabama Birth Center, Chocolate Milk Mommies, and Oasis Women's Health, we’re building strategies to:

🧡 Expand access to comprehensive and culturally concordant reproductive, prenatal, and postpartum care

🧡Grow and sustain Black midwifery and leadership pipelines

🧡 Advance policy and advocacy efforts to protect and expand birth justice across the state.

Thank you to NIRH for your partnership and for helping us strengthen our shared vision of reproductive freedom, dignity, and equity for all.

🌿 Your Baby Knows When It Is Time 🌿

At Alabama Birth Center, we know every baby has their own perfect timeline. Estimated due dates are just that — estimates! Only about 5% of babies arrive on their due date.

Our most recent moms delivered between 38 weeks 4 days and 41 weeks 5 days, with an average of 40 weeks and 4 days.. right on time in their own unique way. 💕

Each of these births was healthy, beautiful, and a reminder that babies come when they’re ready.

✨ As long as you and baby are safe*, we trust your body to know when it’s time. ✨

*Births may occur at ABC through 42 weeks and 2 days, as long as labor begins by 42 weeks and 1 day and your pregnancy remains low-risk.

11/12/2025

The fourth trimester is the tender season after birth — a time of healing, bonding, and adjusting to new motherhood. 💕

Join us at Alabama Birth Center for connection, encouragement, and community with other moms who understand.

✨ You deserve support, too.
