Today, on International Day of the Midwife, we pause to honor the incredible women who pour their hearts into this sacred calling.

It’s sacrifice, yes—but it’s also joy. It’s witnessing first breaths, holding space for strength and surrender, and reminding families that they are capable, powerful, and never alone.

At SCV Birth Center, I have the privilege of working with a team of midwives who carry this calling with grace, humility, and fierce love. I see the hours you give, the love you bring, and the quiet ways you show up again and again.

To every midwife out there: I see you. I stand with you. And I celebrate all that you are and all that you give.

To the midwives who show up with open hands and steady hearts, day after day, year after year: thank you. You are the heartbeat of gentle, respectful, life-affirming care.

10 centimeters — it’s a BIG deal… and just perfect for a baby’s head!

At SCV Birth Center, we know that every centimeter of dilation is a journey — a powerful unfolding that brings new life into the world.

This incredible photo, captured by at , has been making its rounds over the years, especially around Mother’s Day, and we couldn’t be more honored to see our work celebrated. It shows the work our amazing bodies are capable of.

If you see this photo out there, help us give credit where credit is due! Tag us so we can celebrate with you.

From the first gentle changes to that powerful, transformative 10 centimeters, every moment of labor reflects the strength, patience, and wisdom of the birthing body.

It’s not a straight line. It’s not a race. It’s a dance — one contraction at a time, one breath at a time, one courageous step closer to meeting your baby.

At SCV Birth Center, we honor every part of that journey.
Because birth isn’t just about getting to 10 centimeters — it’s about everything it takes to get there.

The Golden Hour - The first hour after birth, often called The Golden Hour, is a magical time of connection, warmth, and transition.

When babies are placed skin-to-skin with their parents immediately after birth, incredible things happen:

✨ Regulates baby’s temperature, heart rate, and breathing
✨ Encourages bonding through touch, scent, and eye contact
✨ Promotes breastfeeding success with early latching cues
✨ Reduces stress for both baby and parent, releasing oxytocin (the love hormone)

This uninterrupted time isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential.

At SCV Birth Center, we honor and protect The Golden Hour, allowing families the space to soak in those first precious moments.

“A new study this month shows that healthy Black women with low risk factors are 20% more likely to have C-sections than white women with similar medical histories. While the authors provided some explanations, I can’t help but think about how the way race is taught in medicine contributes to this disparity.

One example I often use is the VBAC calculator, a tool doctors use to estimate an individual’s chances of having a successful vaginal birth after a previous C-section. The algorithm, however, included a factor that deducted points specifically for being Black or Latina, making it less likely for these populations to be offered a VBAC and more likely to receive a C-section. That only changed in 2021.

Biases and tools like these highlight how race-based medicine can lead to unequal care.”
