🌿 Water Birth: A Gentle Welcome to the World 🌿
At Linden Tree Midwifery, we believe in honoring the natural rhythms of birth—and for many families, water birth offers a soothing, empowering option.

💧 Immersing in warm water during labor can:
✨ Reduce pain naturally
✨ Encourage relaxation
✨ Increase mobility and comfort
✨ Create a calm environment for baby’s arrival

Our midwives are experienced in guiding water births at home or in our birthing center, supporting you with safety, compassion, and respect every step of the way.

🌼 Birth is sacred. Let water hold you as you bring life into the world.

Did you have a water birth? What was your experience of laboring or birthing in the water?

There is a common myth that says first time moms should birth in the hospital. You know, just to be safe and make sure her body can do it.

What many people don't realize is that your first birth can set the stage for all of your births, mentally and physically. Unnecessary interventions can leave a mom doubting her ability.

First time moms can give birth outside the hospital. This first time momma was such a rock star. And after the birth was done she proudly exclaimed, "I can't believe it, I did it!"

Sometimes we post videos and pictures of births that seem so picture perfect. Mom gently pushes out her baby into a quiet room.

Other times mommas have to work really hard to get their little ones out. Sometimes we as midwives have to use all of our skills. Sometimes heart rates dip, there is directed pushing, oxygen, intervention.

We have the skills to help in these times. But we reserve these skills for when they are truly needed.

Having a skilled midwife can make all the difference in these situations. And the mommas who work so hard are such rock stars. Peace on earth begins at birth, even when it's tough.

At Linden Tree Midwifery, we believe that a quality childbirth education class can really help prepare families for labor and birth. It can also improve birth outcomes.

That is why if you are one of our clients we include a childbirth education course. Whether you want to take the full course or a refresher course, you have that option free of charge.

Elizabeth Schwartz teaches our classes. She has been a childbirth educator for 20 years. So many of our clients rave about how much this class has helped them be prepared.

Having a baby that doesn't start breathing at birth sounds really scary!!

At the hospital, the protocol is to cut the babies umbilical cord and perform resuscitation at the warming table.

At Linden Tree Midwifery, we are fully trained in neonatal resuscitation. But it looks a lot different. We don't separate mom and baby, and we leave the cord intact. As long as the cord is still pulsating, it is still supplying baby with oxygenated blood.

This mom had a beautiful, peaceful water birth. When baby didn't start breathing after initial time and efforts were made, we started resuscitation right there in moms arms. Baby started breathing shortly after. This is what resuscitation can look like at home. It doesn't have to be scary!!

Transition is hard. It is considered the most challenging stage of labor and birth. There are so many changes happening physically, hormonally, mentally. It is the very last part of the dilation phase, right before pushing begins.

Contractions are at their peak strength.

But transition does not have to be scary. If a mother feels fully supported and safe, transition can be peaceful.

This Rockstar is minutes away from pushing out her baby. She is being supported by her midwives and her partner. She is peacefully smiling in the tub.

Birth doesn't have to be scary and traumatic. Peace on earth, can begin at birth!!

Welcome to Linden Tree Midwifery!

Home birth is an amazing opportunity for you and your family to start a new chapter of life in a place that is safe, comfortable, and meaningful to you.

The joys of home birth are countless. Imagine welcoming your baby into the world surrounded by your everyday comforts, your family and friends, and your midwife you’ve seen throughout the entirety of your care. Imagine being tucked into your own bed with your newborn and starting your journey as a parent without ever having to leave your home.

Your birth is the celebration of all that you’ve accomplished in the months before, attending prenatal visits, making choices with your baby’s well-being in mind, and learning to trust your body and the childbirth journey.

However, your pregnancy and birth is just the beginning. By choosing home birth midwifery care that respects and honors your choices, you’ve empowered yourself as a parent and can carry that strength into you and your baby’s future.
