Nest Midwifery has been at home with the nature of birth for the last 17 years and was started by Laurie Perron Mednick. As many know, Laurie only has a couple more months as a practicing midwife and then is turning this precious Nest over to the next generation of midwives. This page holds a legacy of so many stories of families Laurie has served beside other midwives. As Nest Midwifery rebrands we've decided to begin an all new social media presence and we want to invite you to follow us at our new Facebook and Instagram. Get ready to hear from us more often and stay up to date on all the exciting changes ahead!

Come see me at Parkrose High School from 11 to 2 for the CSN Winter Preparedness Fair. I'm educating folks on homebirth and midwifery care! Lots of wonderful community resources here, including some new to Portland!

Nest Midwifery has been busy helping big brothers gain access to little sisters 💘💞This big brother was SO excited that “his baby” was coming that he couldn’t sleep as mama labored powerfully at home. Deza Ella was born at 8:05am on her due date (!) weighing 6 #7, and we thought you might find it just as adorable as we did, that he fell asleep snuggling her later on that evening.
Midwife Melissa was so very honored to see this family through all three of their cycles of care and will cherish the next 6 weeks!

Such a beautiful moment captured of this dear family who greeted a little Winter Solstice baby. We love the opportunity to help a safe VBAC, and also to help support family inclusive birth.
