This sweet little friend’s birth was a party! When labor got serious, mom kicked all the extras out. They all waited an appropriate amount of time after baby was born and then came right back in to continue the party! 😅 caring for this family through three babies has been such a joy 🥹 sweet Baby Nate, we’re so glad you (finally) showed up! 🌱

👉One of the best parts of being a midwife?
Being part of babies coming earthside!

👉One of the hardest parts?
Watching them grow from afar!

We get to help bring these littlest ones into the world, and then they have the audacity to grow up into cute little toddlers, preschoolers, schoolagers, tweens, and so on…without us!! 🤯

Ease our aching hearts, and share a picture of your Encompass baby (and siblings of course) in their costume in the comments!
Can’t wait to see all the cuteness! 🎃

She worried she called me too early but I was so confident in her. She asked her husband to make up the guest bed for me (this made me chuckle). She chatted away while she gathered material for her nest (just like she did last time). I truly don’t even know that she knew what she was doing! She got on all fours, her waters released, she threw up, her beautiful baby was born - all within 7 minutes! As I helped her into bed, she said “wow I would do that again!” I had only been there for 35 minutes 😅 little Eddie, you are so loved!! 🌿

Our candle will burn tonight for the Wave of Light — a shared moment around the world honoring babies and pregnancies lost too soon.

We remember every little one — the babies born sleeping, those who lived only moments, and the pregnancies that ended before we could hold them.

To every parent who carries both love and loss, please know you are not alone. Your babies are remembered, your stories matter, and your love continues. 💛

If you’d like, we welcome you to share your baby’s name in the comments so we can remember them with you (feel free to message us as well).🕯️

A little brother! Not without his own dramas here and there but a perfect addition to this beautiful family 🥰 of course each labor unfolds differently, but there are consistencies: a partner who knows to do all the right things but also makes us all laugh, a supportive grandma near by taking pictures, a doula with the perfect hands OFF support, the bath tub, pushing in hands and knees…best part: an incredibly strong mama at the heart of it all! What a joy to be a part of it all 💖 Finn Day, our little red haired beauty, we’re grateful you’re Earthside! 🌿

Many thanks to VIP doula: .clc

At Encompass Midwifery, we believe birth is a natural event, trusting your body and intuition is vital.
✨AND✨
It is so important to pair that trust with evidence-informed care and shared decision making.

We marry the two by building a relationship with you and your family that is built upon encouragement, respect, and knowledge. 🤝 Team work makes the dream work!

“I was supposed to be an easy client!” She said laughing, sitting on the green couch, the most pregnant she’d ever been by a long shot. She had a story in her mind of what was her normal and it’s like this little guy heard the story and took it as a challenge 😅 When he did finally decide to come, he was born swiftly and gently into his mama’s arms. Right through the water he floated to her, it was just the sweetest and most peaceful thing to watch. Joseph, we’re so glad you’ve come Earthside, little brother! 🌿

🌟✨ PSA for new parents + their people! ✨🌟

My lovely friend Alyssa at just dropped a Postpartum Meal Bundle — and it’s a total game-changer for anyone navigating life with a newborn. Think: no cooking, all comfort. 👶💕

Here’s what’s inside:
🥗 3 ready-to-eat, 2-serving meals (you pick your faves from the current menu!)
🍪 A dozen monster cookie protein bites
🌯 8 breakfast burritos (hello one-handed breakfast)
🍲 2 quarts of homemade chicken broth
All for $134 (a 10% discount!) — fully prepared, so all you have to do is heat and enjoy (or skip the heat if it’s salad or snacks!).

💝 This bundle is perfect for:
✔️ New parents feeding themselves with one hand
✔️ Friends + family who want to actually help
✔️ Anyone who wants to give a thoughtful, practical, delicious gift

🗓 How it works:
📅 New menu goes live every Saturday at h2wmeals.com
🛒 Orders close Wednesday
👩‍🍳 Over the weekend, the H2W team plans, shops, chops, cooks, assembles, and cleans (bless them!)
📍Pick up Monday or Tuesday at your chosen location: Davenport, Bettendorf, East Moline, Milan, Preemption, Aledo, or Geneseo
🙌 No subscription. Just order what you need, when you need it.

🎁 Bonus: I’ve got a discount code just for my clients which works towards the rest of the H2W menu! DM me 💌

Tag a friend, send this to your group chat, or treat yourself. This is nourishment you (and your midwife!) can feel good about 💛

This baby knew how to keep us on our toes! His mama (and dad! And grandmas! And honestly whole family!) worked really hard to keep him from coming too early…so naturally he made us wait! In labor he told us he might need some extra help so we made the decision to go in. And guess what?! The bumpy ambulance ride did some magic and he came super quick (2 minutes after arrival!) 😜 feeling so grateful for a healthy little brother!! Welcome home, baby Matthew! 🌱

Grateful also for my incredible team including for the cameo 😘 AND the lovely people at Genesis, especially our friend Carly 🥰
