Understand your body, understand His perfect design and enter motherhood with confidence. 🙌🏻

Have you already had a baby? A refresher never hurt... in fact you may surprise yourself and learn some new tips (even as midwives we're always continuing OUR education with development classes too 😉) and you may be able to offer encouragement to new mothers as well helping to build a supportive cycle. 💓

International Childbirth Education week starts today and we'd like to start it by celebrating the many amazing Childbirth Educators out there including our very own senior student midwife, Elizabeth, who are so important to well-rounded prenatal care. 🙌🏻🎉

There really are no drawbacks to taking a Childbirth Education class. You'll receive important, up-to-date, and evidence-based information that can help you make informed decisions and enter your motherhood journey with confidence so we always recommend it!

It might be easy to think that because birth is a physiologic process that it shouldn't require any "education." What we have to remember is that we have now had many generations where birth wasn't remembered or talked about because of medications, culture or just... a distance from the physical act of birth itself (no siblings, mothers, aunts, grandmothers... in the room with birthing women to pass knowledge on). We now have a system that is largely designed to distance women from understanding their own bodies and one that incorporates a lot of technology that most people are not familiar with, which can all lead to the creation of a knowledge gap between patients and providers. By choosing to take a Childbirth Education class... by choosing a Midwife... by choosing homebirth.. you're making the choice to take that power back.

Moms often ask us what happens to their placenta after they give birth. The answer is simple... whatever YOU want to happen!

Typically, after your baby is born, the umbilical cord is kept unclamped and uncut until it is totally white, allowing it to provide oxygenated blood to the baby for as long as possible. 🤍
Families can choose when and how they want the cord separated. Some choose to have dad, a grandparent, or sibling cut the cord or we can assist you.

After your baby is separated from the placenta, there are many choices.
- We can dispose of it for you.
- You can keep it and bury it in the garden or under a newly planted tree.
- You can have it encapsulated.
- You can make a keepsake such as an art print or preserving a small amount of the cord.

We also love to give you a "placenta tour" to show you your amazing placenta, from the maternal side to the fetal side it is truly unique!

Just baby saying 👋🏼 hey in the mirror 😉 One of our most common midwifery tools might surprise you because it isn’t something fancy, but it can be an incredible tool and motivator... a mirror! 🪞

We always encourage parents to catch their baby if they want to! With a mirror you can visually see the progress you’re making throughout the pushing stage and gain that extra bit of confidence and motivation you need to bring your baby into your arms, being the first one to touch them as they are born.

Want an experienced midwifery team that will consistently encourage you? Reach out to us today! 📲 Text or call: 913-214-2162 or
