BloomWell, a Birth Center by Belly to Cradle

01/22/2026

During clinic after yesterday’s midnight birth, a sweet repeat mama alerted us she might be in labor—and indeed she was! This mama labors swiftly, and in no time at all, she was welcoming her second sweet boy in the same room she greeted her first, this time in the water, completely en caul. After being gently released from his bag of waters, his mama grabbed him and wouldn’t let go. Congratulations to this family on another amazing birth! 🐝🐝

Last night we welcomed the sweetest, most long-awaited baby girl! After coming to us for care long before becoming pregnant with this baby, this first-time mama navigated multiple barriers to a community birth with such flexibility and grace throughout her pregnancy—she EARNED her natural birth center birth, and we are SO proud of her! Happy Birthday Sweet Girl 💕

Sometimes every step is as perfect as possible and the path at the end demands a shift in plans…and that’s exactly what Tuesday’s birth story brought! A perfectly low-risk pregnancy and hands-off labor ended in a direct OP presentation and the need for an unmedicated forceps birth with our friends at HCA Florida West after baby showed us he wasn’t tolerating labor in the position he’d chosen, and that he just could not budge into a different position. She was supported so beautifully by her Doula Heidi throughout 💕

We are so thankful for the collaboration we have that allowed for Amber to maintain her midwifery role all the way to the end—and for patients who trust us to join them as they exemplify unending grace and strength!

Saturday brought our first babe of 2026!! This strong family welcomed their first baby on his due date AND the full moon, using their instincts and tools to navigate a completely physiologic labor—and then in the last minutes of birth, nature threw a curveball when her placenta separated in the last moments of pushing and birth had to be encouraged so that baby could be born quickly and safely. We are so thankful for the ability to provide a safe space for birth when nature is no longer providing a safe experience on its own. And we are so thankful for the strength and trust this family had as we all worked together to bring this little guy into the world 🐝♥️

We welcomed the final (we THINK!) babe of 2025 yesterday afternoon into the strong and powerful arms of his first time parents who let nature take its course and relied on their instincts to bring their sweet boy into the world. With our very own doula, Heidi, by their side, they used all the tools they had given themselves to have the birth they hoped for. What an incredible conclusion to a year full of strong mamas and families 🐝💕

This weekend brought us a very hasty little guy who decided when it was his birthday and birthtime it was TIME! After three hospital inductions with epidurals this strong mama got to see how strong she really is and how well her body worked to bring her babe earthside without a single intervention! With just her husband and Amber at her side, she roared her holiday babe out in a single push on the toilet nine minutes after walking into the birth center—we just LOVE butter babies!! Happy Birthday Sweet Boy 💕🐝
