Several Sundays ago I had the honor of attending a birth for a first time mom who absolutely ROCKED it! I still talk about how amazing she was! I got the call that she was ready while watching the Cincinnati Bengals so I grabbed my bag and left still wearing my jersey. While I witnessed another miracle of life, the Bengals gave the birthday girl a win for her gift 🖤🧡

Reasons why I love home birth midwifery:
-The woman and her family are in control
-They are in a comfortable and safe space
-There’s no clock for how slow labor is going
-She can eat, drink, and move around her house however she wants
-She can birth in water not just labor there!

And one of the best reasons….you form a bond with the siblings ❤️
These wild flowers were from one of my recent families I had the pleasure of helping. The oldest sister loved my jeep and I gave her two of my ducks (it’s a Jeep thing). She came back with these flowers and said you gave me ducks so I wanted to give you some flowers 🥹❤️

Happy national midwifery week! ❤️

I want to share the reason I decided to become a midwife. When I was in nursing school, my very first day of clinical in labor and delivery I felt this overwhelming feeling of accomplishment just being a student watching a baby be born. As students, we don’t do much and the fact that I felt that way and we only had 5 days of clinical in L&D told me this is where I’m meant to be.

Fast forward to role transition (the last few months before graduation), I was in L&D again and still absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, when I graduated no hospital in the area had an L&D position open so I went to the NICU instead.
While in the NICU, I realized I did not want to be stuck as a bedside nurse forever which in L&D that’s really your only option. That’s when I decided to apply for midwifery school!!

The path I thought I’d take as a midwife has changed as I’ve gotten farther into school. I came to learn that I do not want to practice in a hospital because too many times have I seen women practically bullied into things to get their baby out. Hospitals have industrialized births or as they call it “deliveries”. When you’re there, you’re on their time and if you’re not making progress quick enough, they change that. For that reason and many others, I will be a homebirth midwife!

I try my best as a nurse to help these mommas keep to the birth plan they wanted. Sometimes, that’s not an option due to emergencies but when there’s no threat present, I advocate for them when they feel like they can’t.
No matter where the birth occurs, it is a BIRTH. We are not delivering anything.
