This is a great, short video on using masks safely.

A face mask is meant to limit the spread of COVID-19. But if it slips below your nose, hovers around your chin, or you touch the outside with your hands, medical experts say that might be riskier than not wearing one at all.

Depending on where you live, the price of childbirth varies wildly.

The two other midwives practicing outside of the hospital mentioned in this articles are us! We have home birth practices and offer free consultations to anyone interested in learning about the birth options in Juneau.

Could be an option for those who want to avoid taking resources or exposure to the coronavirus.

So beautiful.

This image from a surrogate birth yesterday that my amazingly talented friend captured brings on so much emotion! Grab tissues when you read her caption y’all! ❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

Against all odds
~
After more than two years and thru surrogacy, multiple rounds of IVF , breech positioning (that was successfully flipped), and a scramble to change birth plan due to COVID-19, baby Luca was born safe and sound yesterday morning at his surrogates home and caught by his mom at long last.
I’ve been quiet on here for a little while getting myself mentally, physically and emotionally ready to document this incredible birth during this unprecedented time.
It was incredibly emotional to be around other people for the first time in weeks (all in masks and thoroughly sanitized) and for such a monumental occasion. Throughout this tragedy that is COVID-19, I have kept afloat emotionally knowing that but to witness life emerging in real time, amidst such worldwide heartache- I’m forever changed.
~
Now, more than ever I am inspired by the power of humanity and the perseverance of love. Thank you, thank you to and your beautiful surrogate C and your families for inviting me into this year of your lives and for showing me what true sacrifice and dedication to family looks like.

As we all struggle to adapt to our changing circumstances during the Covid-19 pandemic, we are looking for ways to empower and support women virtually through "The Business of..." platforms. The new hospital restrictions banning partners and doulas during labor broke our hearts. For women birthing in hospitals, the idea of not having any labor support is frightening and unprecedented. Equally unimaginable is the fact that nurses and care givers lack adequate personal protection equipment, putting their own health at risk.

In order to support expecting parents during this pandemic, we are streaming "The Business of Being Born" and the "More Business of Being Born" series FOR FREE from our website: www.thebusinessof.life

Here is how I see part of my birth, surrounded by my midwives and doula, with candlelight in the background and new life.

My deepest apologies to my midwives Jessica and Stacie and my doula Miranda. Getting likenesses can be hard sometimes! Especially when the image is so small and you’re stealing reference shots from facebook :) Not that I’m making excuses!

Babies do have a say in when they arrive in more ways than one~~~

Researchers have identified two proteins in a fetus’ lungs responsible for initiating the labor process, providing potential new targets for preventing preterm birth. They discovered that the proteins SRC-1 and SRC-2 activate genes inside the fetus' lungs near full term, leading to an inflammatory r…
