🗣️ I am strong; I am a mother. 🗣️ Loving your pregnant or postpartum body can be a challenge for some women. We are here to support you through any concerns you have about your growing and changing body during this journey. Our appointments are scheduled with built-in time to TALK! Because you deserve personalized and compassionate care in all aspects of your pregnancy and postpartum. 💞

If you are struggling with loving your body during this time, remember:
➡️ Acknowledge the bad days for what they are - just a bad day. Everyone has them, that doesn't mean they have to turn into a bad week. 🫶🏻
➡️ Surround yourself with positive people - join us for New Mom's meetup, call us, lean on your support system.
➡️ Change the perspective of your self-talk. You can do this through prayer each day.

Peri/Menopause is a time of transition that we experience as women. It shouldn't be taboo to talk about the changes your body is going through.

As a full-scope midwifery practice, that means we see women throughout their lives. Come see us for your annual well care and discuss any questions you have about peri/menopause, and get on the path to embracing this natural phase of life.

It's World Mammography Day and a reminder to do your monthly self-exam. Early detection saves lives! 💛 Breastfeeding supports your baby's health AND YOUR health! 💛

📉 Long-standing research consistently shows that breastfeeding can reduce the risk of breast cancer. This includes a 2002 report in the prestigious journal Lancet, which evaluated data across 47 epidemiological studies on more than 50,000 women with breast cancer and nearly 100,000 women without the disease. It found that the relative risk of breast cancer declined by 4.3 percent for every 12 months a woman breastfed.

➡️ A 2013 meta-analysis in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health found a similar relationship between breastfeeding and breast cancer. After evaluating data in 32 studies, the researchers concluded that women who breastfed were 11 percent less likely to get breast cancer. This benefit increased to 28 percent among women who breastfed for 12 months or longer. Researchers found nearly the same result in a 2015 meta-analysis, which concluded that breastfeeding for more than 12 months reduced the risk of breast cancer by 26 percent and ovarian carcinoma by 37 percent.

We are dedicated to supporting you and your breastfeeding goals for your baby! 💓

Donate. Pray. Share. 🫶🏻🙏🏻 It all makes a difference in helping to serve mothers with dignity in a dedicated, warm, and welcoming space.

My friend Katie does such important midwifery work for women in Haiti! Room for Hope means having a dedicated space that will be a sanctuary for mothers, a hub for education, and a storehouse for their incredibly needed Postpartum Hygiene Kits, and will allow this work to reach and support even more local Haitian women. ❤️

Let's celebrate our Student Midwife, Lizet! 💓

Lizet’s journey into midwifery began with her own birth experiences. After a traumatic hospital birth with her first child and a healing, natural birth with her second, she discovered the profound impact of compassionate, personalized care. These experiences ignited her passion to support other women, especially Spanish-speaking families, through birth with dignity, faith, and cultural understanding. Now a midwife student and founder of , Lizet has attended numerous births and brings a social welfare and trauma-informed care background to her work. She is excited to be training with Midwife KC and learning alongside some of the most trusted midwives in Kansas City, as she pursues her calling to become one of Missouri’s first Mexican-American midwives.

💞 If Cheryl supported you during pregnancy or birth, leave some love in the comments to celebrate National Midwifery Week with us! 💞

Cheryl’s journey into midwifery began with her own experiences as a mother.

Inspired by these experiences, she became a Certified Professional Midwife in 2013, dedicating her career to supporting families in the Kansas City metro area. She believes birth is a sacred event designed by God and is committed to providing care that affirms dignity, nurtures the whole family, and fosters a trusting partnership throughout this life-changing journey.
