Mother of Thousands Midwifery

While I am grateful to do what I love, 2025 was a really tough year for me in my personal life and so I was excited to hop on this trend to remind myself of the good that came from it! I greatly look forward to 2026 and all of the adventures that will come with it. Thank you to every family that has trusted me to support them in any way, shape, or form this year, I do not take that trust for granted. 🫂🫶🏽

Today marks 3 years that I’ve been a Florida Licensed Midwife. I can’t believe how quickly these last few years have gone by and that it’s only been 2 years since I opened my home birth practice. I’m beyond grateful to be just as busy serving families as I want to be, and for every opportunity to learn and grow that has allowed me to be the best version of the midwife my clients deserve.

This year was by far the most humbling year of my birth-attending career, but continuing to surrender control over the unknown is and has always been the answer.

As I pass this milestone of being a Licensed Midwife in Florida for 3 years, the magnitude dawns on me more and more that I’m now qualified to be a Preceptor for Midwifery School students. I will soon have a beautiful student with me that’s been attending births with me for quite some time who I absolutely adore , and now more than ever I feel so honored to be able to support the future of our world because now that also gets to mean mentoring the future of midwifery.

Thank you to every family who has trusted me to care for them in whatever capacity that’s had to look like. It is an honor, a blessing, a privilege, a passion, and a pleasure. Every time, no matter what. I will never take for granted the way you all have changed me and my life.

It was such a pleasure getting to meet and learn from THE Kristine Lauria at Breech and Twins Masterclass last weekend! So grateful to be a recipient of her wisdom and guidance. What a beautiful opportunity to learn from someone who is so knowledgeable and has taught so many people how to make out-of-hospital birth safer for the families we serve.

Thank you to for bringing this training together for everyone, what a wonderful turnout!

As the end of Midwifery week approaches, I have been carrying a deep sense of gratitude; spending a lot of these last several days reflecting on the significance of holding space for who’s in front me. Midwifery is not always sunshine and rainbows. We have no control over how things will go, we can’t make any promises or guarantees. There are little-to-no certainties, aside from a few exceptions.

-I will always do my best to keep you and your baby safe and will communicate to you immediately if I can no longer do that in an out-of-hospital setting
- I will always do everything in my power to show up for you through the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, the chaos, the peace, and the unknowns of what happens next
- I will always sit with you patiently as you make the decisions that are best for you and your family; and support those decisions without judgement.
- I will always care for you during our time together with the same attention I would want for my own family.

Being a midwife has changed me and continues to change me with every passing moment. I can only hope that as time goes on, I can continue to pour love into my craft and support my clients because they mean so much to me 🧡

In honor of October being Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Kylie Kelce the mother of four opened up about the heartbreaking miscarriage: “We made it a point to surprise Jason's mom and dad when we were there by pretending to take a photo and telling them that we were expecting,” Kylie shared of Donna and Ed Kelce, getting choked up. “We surprised Jason's mom and dad with a video. We also surprised Jason's Aunt Judy and his grandmother, Grandma Mary. When we were in Cleveland, we surprised [Jason’s brother] Travis with little baby booties. All of these interactions were recorded for memory purposes.”

“I emphasize the fact that this still hurts after having four children, because it does. And it's okay,” Kylie, who is mom to daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, 6 months, said.

Kylie then recalled going to her doctor’s appointment when she learned that she had miscarried.

“It felt like everything went into slow motion,” she said. “And they could not find the baby on the doppler.”

“I remember being like, ‘Oh, there isn't a heartbeat. You didn't find one because there isn't one,’ ” she said. “They estimated that the baby had stopped developing between, I believe it was nine and 10 weeks. Essentially, I had had what you would refer to as a missed miscarriage. It means that your body did not realize that the pregnancy was no longer viable.”

“It was a sh*t day because it was Jason's birthday,” Kylie shared, continuing to cry. “I called my mom and told her that I couldn't tell Jason because it was his birthday, which seems very silly. It seems very silly because obviously I'm going to tell my husband what happened. And I did. And it was hard for both of us.”

Kylie noted that the experience of miscarrying her first pregnancy made future pregnancies a challenge for her mentally.

“Having had that experience then messed with my brain for every consecutive pregnancy,” she admitted. “So for Wyatt, we did not share that we were pregnant until I was after 20 weeks. For consecutive pregnancies, I waited till I was at least 16 weeks. I Googled almost every week what the percentage likelihood was that a baby could survive, which sounds really dark. I literally did it for Finn.”

I have such a love/hate relationship with 6 week postpartum visits. I am in awe every single time, and so so sooo proud. It is a joy watching families grow. It is also sad that our season of frequent visits comes to an end. It is never, “goodbye”, but always, “see you later,” regardless of whether or not this is your last baby. Postpartum is forever, and so is community. I am abundantly honored to be a small part of your community 🫶🏽
