BloomWell, a Birth Center by Belly to Cradle

08/09/2025

We could not be more proud of today’s parents who navigated and overcame the challenges brought by the last week of their last pregnancy and welcomed their sweet surprise girl with such strength early this morning! And we are so privileged to have helped them navigate the changes their birth brought as the entire team rallied around them to help them bring baby into the world exactly like they’d hoped and planned (with a few adjustments along the way)! Happy birthday, sweet girl! And CONGRATULATIONS mom and dad!

Another baby, another night full of synchronicities!! This family came to us after four hospital births with our beloved Jenny Allen, and no one would have predicted that she’d go from 5cm to complete in less than an hour and push her babe out on Jenny’s old birth stool, completely encaul at 11:11pm!! Happy birthday, Sweet Boy 💕🐝

Our repeat families mean so much to us and it’s so exciting to watch them grow! This sweet little surprise gender babe joined us on Saturday weighing in at 10.5lbs—Mamas biggest baby so far! Little MISS came into the world with a bang and her family couldn’t be more smitten over her chunks and rolls. It was so heart warming watching the entire family explore every inch of her and love on her so deeply! We are so proud of them and so overjoyed for their new family of 6! Happy Birthday Baby Girl 🐝💕

The repeat babes keep on coming!! Last night we welcomed a sweet surprise girl after two boys, the last of which was born in the same room last January. This family is so special to us as they chose to birth with us again without hesitation even after a complicated shoulder dystocia last time. This time, shared decision making and appropriate planning helped this mama have a seamless and smooth delivery on her terms! What a special birthday to be a part of!! Happy birthday sweet girl! 💕🐝

Aren’t these footprints just the most precious things?! They belong to another sweet baby girl who was in a hurry to join us last night! She came barely 90 minutes after her parents arrived at the birth center with just enough time for them to settle into the tub. We cannot WAIT to hear how her big sister who faithfully attended every one of her mom’s prenatal appointments reacted to meeting her!

Yesterday a sweet family welcomed their MUCH awaited baby girl at 41 weeks after two days of labor and many weeks of contractions. Challenged by a nuchal hand, a short cord, and 9 pounds of baby, this mama and her team worked all day at the birth center and after trying everything possible, made the tough decision with Amber’s recommendation to move to the hospital for additional help getting baby out safely. Shortly before midnight, everyone was able to breathe a sigh of relief as baby joined us safely via a surgical birth. Thank you to the team at HCA Florida West for the smooth transition! Happy birthday, baby girl!! You are so loved! 🐝🐝🐝

Yesterday we welcomed the sweetest girl to the hive! We were so privileged to welcome her cousin six weeks ago—after all, this is what BloomWell is all about—family! Having sisters and extended friends and family choose to share their journeys with us is the biggest honor we could ask for. This mama faced several pregnancy challenges without hesitation and did everything she needed to and could do to bring her sweet girl into the world on her terms after two very long days of labor. Happy birthday sweet girl! We’re so happy to know you and your family 🐝💕

Two baby boys joined us in the span of five hours yesterday! We were so privileged to serve both of these families who had both chosen homebirths for their first birth experiences and then opted to choose us to serve them through their third pregnancies and births. Prenatals appointments were a delight with these two mamas and their labors didn’t disappoint. What synchronicities for these two surprise boys to be born on the same day in the same place! Happy Birthday, Boys!!

Thursday afternoon brought our ONE HUNDREDTH BloomWell babe!!! We were so honored to walk beside this family as they smoothly navigated a somewhat complicated pregnancy. This mama got into the zone and with the support of her husband and sister she birthed her precious tiny girl exactly the way she had planned even though it may have been more challenging than she had originally expected. We are so proud of her and her team! Happy BIRTHday sweet girl 💕🐝

Last night we welcomed the most special babe to the hive! This sweet boy was born in the water after deciding to arrive in the perfect time with his cord wrapped around him twice AND a true knot at his neck! His sister was baby #3 born in the birth center and he made baby #99–we are always so privileged to serve repeat families and this family is especially near and dear to our hearts. They burned their babe’s umbilical cord for a second time and had the intervention free and parent-led experience they hoped for and advocated for—for the second time! Happy Birthday Sweet Boy 💕🐝
