I got to have 2 postpartum visits with babies born on the same day 😆. It’s always so nice to see everyone again and try to help troubleshoot issues they’re having. Just as I reminded this mama, I’ll remind you all: please reach out anytime! I’m always here to chat and help however I can. There’s no time limit on when my support ends. I love hearing from families long after the birth and help with their first cold or weaning or any other phase I can talk them through. Seriously! Reach out 💞

Lifting up midwives here in the U.S. as well as around the world today in prayer. You'd think that in a "free" country, women would be able to choose their birth attendants and give birth however and wherever they wish. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Midwives have been under attack since "modern medicine" became the primary modality for healthcare in the U.S., and they have done an excellent job of wiping out as much competition to that modality as they can. Birth is not a medical event, but a physiological process in healthy women. For women wanting a birth attendant who is well-versed in this physiological process and who respects her intuition and need to be in a familiar setting surrounded by people who love her, home is the safest place to bring forth life. We must preserve this right. The world is quickly forgetting how to give birth in a way that supports our God-given physiology.

Whether or not you choose to give birth at home is not the issue; the issue is that we must continue to vote and stand for freedom. If we do not have the freedom to give birth the way we want to, we are failing our children from the start. Please join me in praying for freedom and that we can make the changes we need to make in the systems we have set up to ensure our freedoms.

God, I pray for the midwives who believe in Your ways and want to support families in a way that honors You. Please help us change laws and beliefs that need to change. Silence the voices that are not based in truth. Strengthen the women who need courage and truth so they can do what You have called them to do. Just as You did in Exodus, embolden the midwives to continue to do Your work. Deliver them from those who wish evil on them. We know that You have the power and authority to make things better, and we ask You to do mighty works so that all the praise and glory goes to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Reach out to sign up for my next childbirth series. We’ll meet after the busy holiday season and cover everything you need to know to have an informed birth. We also cover breastfeeding and have an All About Baby class so you also know what to do after your little one arrives. This class would be great for late February-April due dates. Current doula clients will get $25 off the cost of classes! Let me know if you have any questions! 😊

Taking advantage of this beautiful weather while my littlest is at a birthday party to get some reading done. I carry this textbook around practically everywhere I go in case I can sneak a few minutes in here and there. It’s slow-going, but I’m learning as much as I can when I can. 📖

Please help me spread the word about my next series or let me know if you’d like to join us 😊
