At risk for having a breech baby?(also be prepared for that unexpectedly)🤔 There are more options that your provider may be informing you on. Reach out and let's talk about vaginal breech birth. Hospital policy is csection, and will scan to determine position upon arriving in labor to make for an easy procedure if baby is breech. As a participant in this training and being part of and undiagnosed birth center breech birth I firmly believe that often c-section isn't always the only option for birthing breech babies.

I am so thankful for this group of ladies and the opportunity to learn and grow with them!

Our team had the privilege of attending the Breech Master Class and Twin Training with Breech Without Borders today.

Pictured here with some of our team is Kristine, whose wisdom, experience, and passion for safe and evidence-based birth deeply inspired us. We are so thankful for all that she shared—from her years of attending births to the knowledge and hands-on skills she poured into our training over the last two days. This time of learning has strengthened and equipped us to better serve families in our community.

A huge shoutout to Degra for setting this up for our community and making sure everything ran so smoothly—we are truly grateful!

Hey moms, 🤱🏻🤰🏼 let's get those car seats checked! Very seldom do I see car seats properly installed when walking new parents to their cars. It's not always an easy task.🫤 This is a great way to learn to properly install and protect your most precious cargo. 👣💜

Hello, I'm Nikki and I'm a birth doula and midwife assistant helping mama's educate and prepare for a happier, healthier birth experience in Roanoke, VA and surrounding area. Since I've started my journey as a birth worker in 2021I have learned some truly amazing things about the female body and processes of bringing little ones! I'm going into my 5 year as a birthworker and have attended nearly 100 births in and out of hospital(with a midwife present). In addition to doula support I also prepare placentas for encapsulation.... If you have questions on services please message me here or give me a call. I would love to talk with you on how I can support you with welcoming your little one earthside with tools and techniques for a more enjoyable birth experience. 👣

Adding another birth training to my list. Part 1 completed!.... Even though i'm not delivering as a doula it's always good to have knowledge and to be comfortable if you do encounter a breech baby. Vaginal breech birth looks very different and Knowing how to provide support to clients in all forms of birth is so very important. I absolutely love that midwives in our area are open to discussing all the benefits and risks(mom and baby) for a vaginal breech birth giving moms ALL the options for birthing their baby. 🤰🏼👣 💜

Let's welcome this big boy to the world!👣 I had the privilege of supporting one of by best friends in the birth of her 4th and biggest baby yet! It took a good bit of walking around the outside of hospital (in and out of the rain 😆), and many trips up and down a large flight of steps, but when labor took off it went! Just when this mom thought she couldn't, she did! It was hard work for sure, but totally worth it!💜
