Skin issues are one of the many symptoms of a systemic issue in the body. The goal of Functional Medicine is to provide care that gets to the root cause of the issue rather than putting a band-aid on the problem. At TCBC our functional medicine appointments are with a Certified Midwife AND Naturopathic Doctor. These appointments are billed to insurance. Call to make an appointment at 651-895-2520.

Mama Monday:

That first milk your body produces? It's called colostrum and it earns the nickname "liquid gold."

Colostrum is thick, yellowish, and packed with antibodies, white blood cells, and growth factors. It's produced in small amounts, but that's exactly right because your newborn's stomach is the size of a cherry. They don't need much. They need what's in it.

It coats the gut lining, kickstarts the immune system, and sets the stage for healthy digestion. All in a few teaspoons.

Your body was preparing this for months before your baby ever arrived. ✨

This person is using a TENS Unit for relief in labor. This small hand held device helps provide relief by sending a pulsing sensation that helps your body create more pain relieving endorphins. It also can act as a distraction in labor. It is said to reduce the discomfort of a contraction by about 50%. At Twin Cities Birth Center + Women's Health Clinic, we have a TENS Unit for people in labor to use!

Many of the people that give birth at Twin Cities Birth Center + Women's Health Clinic are having their first baby. A birth center is a wonderful option for a first baby for many reasons! One being, you are given TIME and PATIENCE without unnecessary interventions to speed things up. On average a first labor is 24 hours or more, that is normal and it is important to be supported in that. TCBC supports pregnancy until 42 weeks which also gives your body time to go into labor spontaneously. This is also important given that a high percentage of first time birthing people do not start labor until 41 weeks.

Labor asks so much of birthing people, strength, surrender, trust. It’s unpredictable, intense, and deeply transformative.

At Twin Cities Birth Center + Women's Health Clinic, we honor the work of birth. We create space for it. We support it. We trust the process and the person moving through it.

Because on the other side of that intensity is something extraordinary. 💛
