We had an amazing childbirth class yesterday with 11 families all birthing out of the hospital with 3 different local midwifery practices! Don’t forget, we offer these classes quarterly for FREE to anyone who wants to attend. No 2 classes are alike and everyone (including us) always learns something.

Thank you Chernichky Family Chiropractic - Botetourt Chiropractor for hosting us again!

Have you had or considered a water birth? About 50% of our babies are born in water and about 90% of our families use a birth pool in labor. Share with us pics of your water birth/laboring in the water and what you thought about it as a tool during your birth.

The words “failed” do not belong anywhere in conversation about pregnancy, birth or postpartum 🙅🏽‍♀️

We have midwives, hospitals, birth centers, OBGYN’s and MFMs for good reason! In a percentage of cases, they are all very much needed 🧑🏼‍⚕️👩🏽‍⚕️👨🏾‍⚕️ we as birth workers and families are GRATEFUL for these resources being readily available to families when they are truly needed.

The #1 cause of home birth transfers is maternal exhaustion. This is why it is essential to rest, hydrate and nourish your body during early labor. A hospital transfer from a homebirth is by no means a failure. It is the responsible, proper use of the resources that are available to keep families safe. Please don’t place this in a negative light.💜💡

Sometimes women need support in early labor. Sometimes dilation does not match the strength of contractions. Sometimes progress will not happen until there is a reassuring presence in the room and it feels safe.

We had an amazing childbirth class with four families yesterday. At our childbirth classes, families learn about the process of labor and birth, comfort measures for each stage and phase, and tools to help them reach their personalized birthing goals. We also discuss how complications are handled in the out-of-hospital setting to minimize fear and trauma when interventions are necessary.

We offer these classes for FREE to our clients and the general public. If you'd like to join our next quarterly class, we would love to have you! It will be on 8/16 from 10-6; please sign up on our event page.

Thank you to Chernichky Family Chiropractic - Botetourt Chiropractor for allowing us to use their space!

As we share our final moments with families, we experience a profound sense of joy tempered by a hint of sadness. It is truly inspiring to witness the babies' remarkable growth, document their tiny footprints, and observe the transformation into a loving family unit. We depart these visits with our hearts full, and with the hope of reuniting, whether at an event or when the time is right to welcome another addition to their families.

“Amanda!! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with you and the entire team, and you will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you for everything❤️❤️”
