I cannot believe that I get to go hang out at families homes, have coffee with them while we chat about all the discomfort and joys of pregnancy, feel growing babies and listen to their sweet little hearts, then stop on the way home for a seaside walk on the first fall day with sunlight streaming down✨✨✨As a Midwest girl I wasn’t sure I’d find home anywhere else-but I’m never leaving, y’all are stuck with me out here🩷 #

Rainy day at home preparing for upcoming clients🩷 And I am officially a NH Medicaid provider now!! The state of healthcare insurance in this country is an absolute racket and there’s a huge piece of me that does not want to be affiliated with it at all-and realistically this is what we have to work with at the moment. I became a midwife to be able to give really good care to those in my community who desire it and taking Medicaid makes it accessible for more families, it’s one step I can take to live my values and show up for my community.

Good mail day! My practice has taken off and it’s time to start prepping for client due dates!🩷 Changing up how I have historically offered pools-I used to bring the pool with me but that resulted in occasionally a baby arriving before we could set it up! Now I’ll have several pool sets on hand and I’ll leave one with each client at 36 weeks-that way as soon as labor starts you can start preparing it for active labor:) So excited to think of all the babies who will be welcomed into the world in these very pools! Thanks to Marissa Davis for the pool kit inspiration (and alllllll the links!😂

Families considering home birth for the first time often ask me what is so different about care with a home birth midwife vs a hospital based provider. Imagine your pregnancy provider being the same person who does each and every prenatal visit, the same person who sits with you through hours of labor-monitoring your baby and your health, but also holding your hand through some of the tough moments. That same provider then shows up to provide all of your postpartum care while you hang out in your own bed with your baby. This is home birth🩷 Continuity of care. Knowing the person you got to know throughout your pregnancy care is going to be the one with you through the thick of labor and postpartum. It means feeling truly known and seen and heard. 📸Photo shared with permission

Hi! I’m Noel, the midwife (biller, admin, cleaner, marketer, etc) behind Solid Ground Midwifery🌱 I am excited to be serving home birthing families across southern NH and much of MA! I believe everyone has the right to relationship based care that is built around true informed consent and that pregnancy and birth are transformative and sacred times in one’s life🩷 If you are considering home birth, reach out and let’s chat about it!

You deserve to truly like and trust your provider! They are going to be with you during one of the most transformative experiences of your life-don’t settle! Reach out for a no pressure consult if you want to explore what home birth care looks like🏡

Marissa Davis of Evergreen Midwifery Care is fantastic! Getting to work closely with a skilled and thoughtful midwife is a dream🩷

It's a great day in the LABORhood! I had the honor of welcoming a handsome baby boy on Labor day morning! He definitely took the scenic route. Grateful for having two heads to put together on this one. Two Midwest midwives in New England! Thanks Noel Fernandez with Solid Ground Midwifery! 💚🌲

Made up some organic NORA tea to share with clients🩷 This is one of my favorite suggestions for self care. I know we are all so busy, particularly those with littles, but the slowing down that making a cup of tea invites us to do is SO needed. I love the ritual of making tea, thinking of each herb and how it is nourishing my body. I’m excited to share this with clients and maybe help bring a slower moment to their busy days. What’s your favorite tea?

I want to share an important update with those who have been following my work. As of this week, I have stepped away from my position at the birth center earlier than I had planned. This was not an easy decision, but ultimately I felt I could no longer remain in alignment with my values and the standards of care that guide my work as a midwife. I know that sudden changes can feel unsettling, and my heart is with the families I’ve been walking alongside. Please know that my commitment to providing safe, respectful and personalized midwifery care remains unchanged. I’m moving forward with Solid Ground Midwifery and am so excited to support home birthing families in the community. Thank you for your trust and understanding. I look forward to continuing to serve this community with integrity and love.
