There’s something sacred about this part of midwifery. 🤍
When a mama is carrying twins, one of the most powerful tools we use isn’t a machine…it’s our hands.
Through gentle, skilled palpation (Leopold’s maneuvers), midwives can feel:
✨ Which baby is closest to the pelvis
✨ Which little back is on the left or right
✨ Where tiny heads and bottoms are resting
✨ How the babies are nestled together
With experience, our hands learn the language of the womb. We can often tell if Baby A is head down, if Baby B is breech, or if they’re both curled up cheek-to-cheek like best friends already.
It’s not magic.
It’s anatomy.
It’s training.
It’s trust.
In a world full of screens and scans, there is still something deeply grounding about placing our hands on a growing belly and listening • through touch • to what the babies are telling us.
Midwifery is high skill and high touch. And when it comes to twins, those hands matter even more. 💛

“I realized that if I had not arrived in time, that could have been a wonderful birth.”

Dr. Richard Jones of Brazil describes a story from his first few years of practice. He was called into an exam room where a woman was squatting on the floor, focused and pushing effectively. But Dr. Jones didn’t like it - he had been taught that a medically-managed birth is the only option for a safe birth.

This story and the realization that he had boorishly stepped in and altered a birth that “could have been wonderful,” led to a complete shift in his philosophy of birth. No longer wanting to practice from a place of ignorance and arrogance, he humbly dove in and learned about normal, physiological birth. He has spent decades serving women well and teaching others to do the same. ✨

A common question, and an important one!

But the research is there to back up the safety of home births. If mama and baby are healthy and low-risk, home is the safest place for them to be. 💛

“You doing so good mama!”

We love when birth is a whole family affair. 🥰 We can just imagine what his little arms felt like around her neck as she labored to meet their new baby.

But listen. It won’t hurt our feelings if you keep that baby right where he is until next week. 🫠❄️

🤯🤯🤯 This is amazing! YOU can help protect your daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter, and great-great-granddaughter from breast cancer. 💪🏼

Just another example of how beautifully God designed our bodies to create, grow, birth, feed, and sustain our babies.

We just had a mama in the office who walked past this sign and said, “Linnea saved my bacon when I had my last baby!” 🌟
So take it from those who’ve been there and done that…you want to go to this class! Sign up for the January 15th class, and get set up for breastfeeding success. 💪🏼

It was fast, intense, and holy work. 🤍

Every wave demanded everything she had.
Not gentle, but purposeful.
Not easy, but covered.
A birth that stretched her, strengthened her, and reminded her that His presence is steady even in the hardest moments.
Those hard, sacred, normal, human moments that shape and sanctify us. ✨
