Important info about a hard topic (stillbirth/infant death). Jessica and Nicole both use some Evidence Based Birth resources in our Lamaze childbirth classes. Much love to all the families who have lost babies, and information is power for the times when it may be preventable. ❤️‍🩹

Great news! We've added another Medicaid health plan to broaden our support for Southwest Michigan families. We're now accepting both Meridian Medicaid and United Medicaid, along with secondary Medicaid and MOMS Medicaid.

Michigan Medicaid funds:

- prenatal visits
- the birth however long it lasts
- real postpartum visits, 2.5 hours with a postpartum doula

Your benefits cover a total of 12 visits, divided between prenatal and postpartum. If you need more visits, we'll work with you to request those from your health plan.

These are the ONLY health plans we're currently supporting, so we can provide the very best care and also be sure that our doulas are paid for their work. If you have a different Medicaid health plan and would like to work with our doulas, you can change your health plan through Michigan Medicaid. Private/commercial insurance doesn't usually cover doula services, but check with your plan. In addition to clients who pay out of pocket, we also can work with employee benefit programs (Carrot, Progyny, Walmart, Target, etc.), and our system is set up to accept HSA and Flex cards (check with your plan to confirm benefits).

The best way to get started with birth and/or postpartum services is to fill out the contact form on our website. We'll put that link in the comments!

Stay safe, SW Michigan! We're still here for you, but the VBAC & Cesarean Support Group will be fully virtual tonight (no in-person). ❄️ We'll email the Zoom link to everyone who has already registered. There's still time to register if you'd like to join us.

We're ready for you on Monday! This is a wonderful opportunity to process a cesarean birth or plan for your next birth. Bring a friend, bring yourself, come join us in community — in person or virtual. Babies in arms are welcome in person.

NEW DATES! We had some requests for a little later start date, so we shifted the upcoming session to begin January 28. We'd love to see you for movement, birth prep, community and connection. 💜 Registration link in the first comment.

Last night we hosted the first group childbirth class in our new space. What a fantastic cohort of families! Childbirth education, yoga, newborn care, support groups, doula trainings, and much more. May shoes, boots and coats line this wall for many years to come. ❤️😭🥰🌟

We are thrilled to announce the return of our VBAC & Cesarean Support Group! Our first meeting will be Monday, January 19, and we'll meet on the third Monday for the rest of the year. We've been running this group since 2015, but it's been dormant for a few years (pandemic toll!). We've been reminded lately that some of our clients would really benefit from a group like this, but nothing exists in SW Michigan. Thank you so much to Southwest Michigan Perinatal Quality Improvement Collaborative - Region 8 for support the effort with funding, so it can be free to all of you. Check out the details below, we'll put the registration link in the comments (registration encouraged but not required). Babies in arms are welcome. If you need to be with your crawlers or walkers, please join us virtually. We're excited to be back in community with you. Teresa and Ashley are amazing support.

If you're a healthcare provider and would like promo materials to share with your patients/clients, please let us know. We have some cards arriving later this week.

This community-based VBAC and Cesarean Support Group is supported by funding from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) made possible through the Southwest Michigan Perinatal Quality Improvement Collaborative (SWMPQIC).

We're betting you'll be as excited as we are that prenatal yoga is back! Alison See is such a fantastic instructor and we're thrilled to be hosting classes in our brand new space (video tour of the new space coming soon). Did anyone say yoga gift certificates for the holidays? We'll put that link in the comments too. Sign up for a six-week session today: birthkalamazoo.com/yoga
