Anxiety can build the closer your due date approaches and your provider starts talking about induction procedures. It’s important to know that majority of women, but especially first time mothers go into natural labor closer to 41-42 weeks of labor. Here are a few things you can do at home to help induce naturally.

Do you know the history of midwives and how we go to hospital births? This is something I teach in my CBE course.

During this era, childbirth began to shift from homes to hospitals as formal medicine entered the birthing scene. Male physicians started attending births—especially among upper-class families—introducing tools like forceps and new “scientific” methods.

As these changes spread, midwives were often pushed to the margins, especially in urban areas. Yet, in rural and working-class communities, they continued to serve families with dedication, compassion, and skill.

Ironically, while physician-led births brought new interventions, they also led to higher rates of infection and mortality from puerperal fever. Meanwhile, midwives—relying on natural methods, cleanliness, and close monitoring—often achieved safer outcomes for mothers and babies.

The resilience of midwives during this time laid the foundation for the safe, evidence-based, and family-centered care we value today.

What an incredible birth. I got the call at 9pm last night that mom’s water broke. We all watched her move, breathe, and roar her sweet little one out. Thank you to the L&D nurses, midwife, and resident at Baylor.

They say third time is a charm and it truly was. I met this family back in 2021 and have had the honor to be their doula for all three of their little ones. Each labor was vastly different from the former, but this little guy showed us who was boss. What a powerhouse this momma was. So much controlled strength over her body. We sat back and watched her bring her son forth. I’m so grateful our paths crossed and for clients who become friends. Welcome to the world baby boy.

Have you ever heard the old saying, "It's takes a village to raise a child?" Yet so often we new mothers are left wondering, where is my village? Unfortunately the vast majority of the American culture has trained moms to believe not only should they do it alone, but if they need help they are weak. Maternity leave isn't honored, instead moms are told to disconnect from their babies and leave them at daycare. Mom's are told that breastfeeding is natural, therefor it should be easy. If it's not then its because something is wrong with you. They are told breast is best, but are not given the tools to have a successful nursing journey. Other countries in the world gather around the mother the first year after birth. They help cook, clean, teach the art of breastfeeding, and allow mom the time and space to bond with her child and become confident in her new role. It isn't a sign of weakness to ask for help, it is actually a sign of great strength. If you do not have a tribe that will gather around you to help you feel strong, capable, competent, and confident in your new role, then consider hiring a postpartum doula. Someone who can offer non judmental and unbiased support and has resources and tools to help you be successful in your new role.

Happy Labor Day! While we know today is a federal holiday recognizing the American workers contributions to the development of our great nation, I also want to honor the mothers who are laboring today as well. They are the greatest architects, spending months developing the most intricate and unique of all designs. Through blood, sweat, tears, and hard work they bring forth the most unique and creative of all designs.
