I let my students steal from me (consents, documents, etc) when they start their own practice. That comes with the understanding that I get to steal back when they post something good on social media. HT to Midwife Megan Loewen 😉
Stay hydrated out there!

Dehydration during pregnancy can sneak up quickly—especially this time of year! It can lead to headaches, fatigue, swelling, and even contractions. I’m hearing these compliants every day at this point.

Water is SO important, but sometimes we may need something more, especially if we’ve been outside. Even loading groceries is a work-out in this heat!

I found this scrolling through Pinterest (when I should have been napping). This looks like a great way to get some hydration and electrolytes in, and it sounds delicious too! Although, if you’re one of my clients, I’m sure you know by now I’m a big fan of plain ole water with some pink salt in it too if you don’t have time to get fancy. 💦

Your body is working hard—give it the fuel it needs.

URGENT ACTION REQUESTED BY The Association of Texas Midwives

House Bill 4553 has officially been set for a hearing in the House Public Health Committee on April 28 at 8:00 A.M. in Room E2.030 at the Capitol.
House Bill 4553 threatens the autonomy of our profession under the guise of data collection. While framed as a neutral reporting bill, HB 4553 lays the groundwork for invasive oversight, misrepresentation of outcomes, and the further medicalization of midwifery care without the context or nuance necessary to accurately represent our clients or our work.
We need every midwife, student, client, and supporter to contact the public health committee and urge them to oppose HB 4553
What You Can Do Today:
1. Call the Public Health Committee – urge them to oppose HB 4553.
Phone: 512-463-0802. Contact Chairman VanDeaver directly – tell him to withdraw his support for this bill.
Email: gary.vandeaver@house.texas.gov
Phone: 512-463-0692

Subject: Oppose HB 4553 – Protect Midwifery from over regulation and medicalization. Protect Family Choice
Dear [Chairman VanDeaver / Public Health Committee Member],
I am a [licensed midwife/client/family member/supporter] writing to strongly oppose House Bill 4553, scheduled for hearing on Monday, April 28. This bill, though presented as a neutral data reporting proposal, contains harmful and confusing language that would result in over regulation, redundant statistics collection, the medicalization of and the erosion of midwifery care in Texas.
Texas midwives are already held to high standards of safety and accountability. This bill duplicates existing reporting, imposes burdensome new rules, threatens privacy, and undermines informed choice in birth.
I respectfully urge you to oppose HB 4553 and support true solutions that protect safe birthing options across our state.

⸻
We must act now. Please make your call today!
