The placenta 🤍
An organ grown by the mother, for the baby.

For nine months, this miraculous creation is home, nourishment, oxygen, protection. It pulses life through the umbilical cord, adapting day by day to meet this baby’s exact needs.

And then—when its sacred work is complete—it releases. Spontaneously. Gently. Knowing its job is done.

This placenta print sits beside this newborn as a reminder of the unseen magic of pregnancy and the wisdom of the woman’s body. Nothing random. Nothing wasted. Only design, devotion, and deep knowing.

We at Modern Midwives honor the placenta, honor the body that made it, and honor the life it sustained. ✨✨✨

This third baby did exactly what third babies do—she surprised us all. This was mama’s first girl, her longest pregnancy, and by far her fastest labor. In the weeks leading up to her arrival, baby began gently preparing mama’s body for her grand entrance, but she waited to make her debut until she was truly ready.

When the moment came, she made a swift decision to begin her journey and was born just a few short hours later—so quickly, in fact, that she didn’t wait for the midwife to arrive. She was born into the loving arms of her parents in the pool and was shortly after attended to by our team.

This sweet girl is already deeply loved by her parents and siblings, and we’re grateful she didn’t keep anyone waiting too long. 💗

When dad called, they weren’t sure if support was needed—but sensing things were moving quickly, we headed over. Mama was already in the pool, fully in her body and deeply focused as a fast, powerful labor unfolded. It was intense, fast and furious, and undeniably beautiful.

Her husband stood by her side with steady, tender support, holding space through every wave. With strength and presence, she reached down and caught her own baby—a moment layered with so much meaning after a pregnancy filled with courage, perseverance, and faith. Through every challenge, every hurdle, every reminder of how far she has come, she showed up strong and resilient.

Within minutes of a friend arriving, baby was born. 💫
We closed the night sharing date cake dad had made the day before—sweet, grounding, and a perfect ending to a birth marked by strength, love, and fulfillment.

A few days late—but just as proud to share our 2025 end-of-year statistics ✨

This year was filled with magical births, long marathons, and a few unexpected wild cards that our team navigated together with skill, calm, and deep trust in the process. Every single birth is an honor, and we take this work seriously—holding both the beauty and the responsibility it carries.

We’re incredibly grateful not only for these outcomes, but for how much 2025 pushed us to grow, sharpen our skills, and become even better for the families we serve. Thank you for trusting us with one of the most sacred moments of your lives. 🤍

Newborn care isn’t rushed. It’s slow, intentional, and guided by baby. From assessments to comfort, every touch has a purpose. This is what slow, intentional newborn care looks like.
What part of immediate postpartum care do you wish more families understood?

To the mama nursing in the quiet glow of Christmas lights.
To the one rocking a baby while the world sleeps.
To the mother wondering what next Christmas will look like — who will be here, who will be bigger, who might be new.
And to everyone in between!

We see you.
This season isn’t always picture perfect— sometimes it’s soft, heavy, sacred, and unseen. We are celebrating you in every season.
From our Modern Midwives family to yours, may you feel held this Christmas exactly as you are 🤍

✨ C A L E B ✨
This mama labored with such quiet strength—calm, focused, and deeply trusting her body and the work it knew how to do. The journey was long, but she never lost sight of her why.

Her husband stayed by her side through every moment, offering steady, loving support across the days it took to welcome little Caleb earthside. Much of their labor unfolded outdoors—moving between sunshine and fresh air, an outdoor shower surrounded by plants, and a beautiful back patio that held so much intention.

A thoughtful neighbor quietly left offerings along the way—snacks, coconut water, flowers—small gestures that felt like whispers of encouragement. Candles flickered the entire time, and the home remained hushed and reverent as we all waited for this baby to arrive.

After birth, her first postpartum meal was simple and perfect: toast made from the “baby bread” they had baked together on Caleb’s due date. 🤍

Katherine joined us peacefully on a sunny November day. Her mother had been laboring spontaneously through the night, after patiently waiting 42 weeks for her body to be ready. We joined her in the morning alongside her lovely doula & spent the day by her side as she did the hard work of bringing her first baby earthside. This amazing woman never once said she couldn’t do it, didn’t complain, never doubted. She just breathed through her contractions like she had already had many babies before. And when it came time to push, she did it like an absolute pro. She followed her body so well, pushing with power and gentleness at the same time, pausing to let herself stretch when her baby came to a crown. And soon her beautiful daughter was born, already crying before her body was fully out. We were all completely amazed by this mom! This birth is a beautiful testament to what happens when a laboring mother is unrushed, when her body is given the time it needs to spontaneously go into labor, when trust and power is placed in the hands of the birthing woman. Following this mother’s lead was our honor, your midwives love you baby Katherine 💕
