If you're considering hiring a midwife, here's the truth:
You're allowed to ask all the questions.
And you're also allowed to trust what you feel in your body and heart. Choosing a midwife isn't just about credentials or answers. It's about connection, safety, and feeling deeply held.
When it's the right fit, you'll feel it. Still, asking thoughtful questions can help bring clarity, confidence, and peace of mind, especially for your partner.
Here are some gentle questions you might ask as you explore working together:
* How do you support autonomy and decision-making during labor?
* What does holding space look like for you as a midwife?
* How do you support partners during labor and birth?
* How do you honor the emotional and spiritual aspects of birth?
* What does your care include, and what is the investment?
* How many clients do you take per month?
* What kind of support is available if labor is long, intense, or emotionally challenging?
* How do you support families postpartum?
* How often do transfers happen in your practice, and what are the most common reasons?
* How do you support families emotionally if a transfer becomes necessary?
* Will you remain involved and supportive if we transfer to the hospital?
* What does your support look like if birth unfolds differently than hoped?
* How do you monitor the wellbeing of both parent and baby during labor?
* What signs would let you know that extra support or a transfer is needed?
* How do you handle emergencies, and what equipment do you bring with you?
Birth is not something to control, it's something to be supported through. Ask the questions. Feel into the answers.
Trust yourself.

No matter where you give birth, this truth stays the same:✨You are your own advocate.✨You are allowed to ask questions.✨You are allowed to say no or ask for more time.✨You are allowed to change your mind.✨And yes, you are absolutely allowed to hire a doula.
Hospital birth can be beautiful, empowering, and deeply supported when you feel informed, respected, and heard. Asking questions isn’t about being “difficult”, it’s about building trust and understanding how your provider supports your values.

Here are some thoughtful questions you might ask your doctor or care team:

* How would you describe your approach to birth?
* How do you support informed consent and shared decision-making?
* How do you handle birth preferences or birth plans?
* What is your rate of inductions, cesareans, and assisted births?
* Under what circumstances do you typically recommend interventions?
* Are there alternatives we can try before medical interventions?
* How much time is usually allowed before recommending next steps?
* How do you support physiologic labor and movement?
* What positions are supported for labor and pushing?
* What are the hospital’s policies around eating, drinking, and movement?
* How do you support unmedicated birth if that’s my goal?
* What pain management options are available, both medical and non-medical?
* How do you handle situations when a patient declines a recommendation?
* Can we ask for time to discuss options if something urgent comes up (when safe)?
* How are emergencies communicated during labor?
* What immediate postpartum care is routine for parent and baby?
* What newborn procedures are standard, and can they be delayed?
* How do you support skin-to-skin and feeding choices?
*
Hospital birth doesn’t mean handing over your power. It means building a team. One that respects your voice, your body, and your choices.
✨ You deserve care that feels safe, collaborative, and empowering.✨ You deserve to be listened to.✨ You deserve support—before, during, and after birth.

This one is also personal for me 🤍
My first birth was a hospital birth, and I was a first-time parent. I wish I had known these questions then. I wish I had educated myself more and had someone by my side whose sole role was me, even though my partner was everything I could’ve hoped for. It was 2021 , with one-person rules, and while we don’t talk about that season much anymore, it mattered. That experience is a big part of why I believe so deeply in education, advocacy, and support, no matter where or how you give birth.

For slowing down, deep breaths, quiet resonance. 🌞🌿
Motherhood transformed me, but not all at once.
It took time, unraveling, remembering.
This is for the mamas still learning to hold themselves.
Still shifting, still softening, still growing.
You are not meant to do this alone.
You deserve to be held too.

It’s more than just a name.
It’s the heart behind everything I do as a doula.

House of Figs is a space I’ve dreamed into being
a place of belonging for mothers, maidens, sisters, and friends. A house where you are deeply seen, gently held, and reminded of your strength.

The fig has long symbolized fertility, femininity, and nourishment, everything birth and motherhood embody. And just like the fig tree, we root deep, we bear fruit, we support each other in cycles.

This isn’t just about birth.
It’s about you feeling safe, supported, and excited for what’s to come.

Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I’m here to walk beside you. To hold the space, the stories, and the sacredness of it all.

Welcome to House of Figs. I’m so glad you’re here. ✨
