Your littles are welcome here!

Just two generations ago, pregnancy was often hidden from the family as much as within the womb. My grandmother shared with me that she never knew her mother was expecting until she woke to a new baby in the house (with a midwife quietly slipping in and out through the night!).

Now? We celebrate the joy of growing our families. Tiny hands help measure. Big siblings search for heartbeats.

Midwives believe pregnancy is a family story unfolding, not just a clinical check. So bring the curious toddlers, the thoughtful big siblings, and even the homeschooled teens who want to learn. We’ll make space for them!

It’s Midwife Monday again, and yes, we’re talking about food one more time. 😉

If you’re pregnant and starting your morning with cereal, lemonade, or PB toast… this might surprise you.

I just posted a new Midwife Monday breaking down 4 common foods that may not be serving you or your baby well, and simple swaps you can make starting today!

The full video is live on YouTube. I'll post the link in my bio (IG) or in the comments (FB) for you to access easily.

Our birth suites are created for you!

When you’re birthing here, kick off your shoes, turn on your favorite playlist, sink into the tub, and settle into your home-away-from-home birth.

So when a BirthHouse mama shared that the bedside table in the Mother of Pearl Suite felt too small during labor… we upgraded it! 💕

Your voices shape this birthplace for all of Acadiana to enjoy…and it is truly our joy to serve here. So please keep the feedback coming!

It’s Lenten season at The BirthHouse!

If you’re pregnant and wondering how to support your growing baby while still participating in this beautiful, faith-filled season… this one’s for you.

While the Church does not require pregnant women to fast, many mamas still desire to. But not all fasting practices, especially here in South Louisiana where seafood is everywhere, are ideal during pregnancy.

In today’s oldie-but-goodie video, Jenny the Doula and I talk about:
✝️ Pregnancy-safe ways to fast
🦞 Shellfish + swelling (yes, it’s a thing!)
🥑 Nourishing alternatives
🙏 Non-food fasting options that honor the season

You can honor your faith and nourish your baby well... I hope this video helps!

I bet I can encourage you to eat sardines! 🫵

In addition to the awesome benefits she’s been talking about on her page, calcium intake in the third trimester is important and adequate calcium intake can even strengthen uterine contractions, making them more effective (ie: shorter, faster labor possibilities!). 🙌

Sardines, anyone?

Did you know the pelvis isn’t a straight tunnel that your baby “passes through”, but rather a dynamic, curved rotational guide your baby actively NAVIGATES? Your baby doesn’t just descend, they rotate, adjust and respond to the physical pelvis and positions as birth unfolds.

What an intelligent design that babies are born with unfused skull bones, allowing molding and shape subtle (or sometimes not so subtle!) shape changes to accommodate the unique needs of labor…each baby, each time! Birth, then, is more like a dance between mom and baby, and we should be in awe every single time it works…I know I am! 💕

When mamas are untethered to wires and free to move their bodies, their babies can actively participate in and even have their bones temporarily adapt to the curves of the pelvis. It may look bizarre sometimes, but it’s physiology that works by a perfect design.

And don’t worry mamas, within days that cute head rounds right back out to that kissable shape that fits in cute bonnets and bows 🎀

When you look at this picture, be reminded today that each of us were made for this. Go dance your dance!

Baby #259 at our new location… and Tamera’s final birth as a student!!

This one was extra special 💕

Tamera has officially completed all of her required deliveries and is now submitting to sit for her Midwife licensing exam! What a journey it has been!!

She brings such a calm presence into the birth space …steady, confident, and incredibly capable. Watching her grow has been such an honor.

Here’s to Louisiana’s next licensed midwife! 🙌Help us congratulate her on this huge accomplishment! 👇👏
