Up next on a very long list of announcements is sweet Mary-Ella! đŸ€

This family is another repeat client that is especially near and dear to my heart. You got the briefest introduction to them in the last post when I shared about a mother graciously choosing to move locations from a planned home birth to the birth center when the need arose. Even knowing she didn’t have to make that change, she did. Looking back, it truly feels God-ordained—it meant I was able to make it to the other birth previously introduced, and it ended up being an important decision for this mama too.

After an incredibly fast labor with her last birth, Mary-Ella surprised us all by taking her sweet time coming earthside. Labor was longer than anticipated, but mom handled each wave with such strength and determination. All that hard work melted away the moment she was able to bring her sweet girl up onto her chest.
After getting mom settled into bed, we began noticing increased bleeding. Knowing this mama’s history meant we acted quickly rather than waiting. We immediately used herbs to support placental delivery and reduce bleeding. They helped initially, but additional support became necessary. Medications successfully stabilized mom, and IV fluids helped her recover after such an intense experience.

Being at the birth center meant we had both fluids readily available and extra hands to help when needed. (Shoutout to Jessica for starting her first IV in over 6 years—and getting it on the first try! 🙌)

Mom stabilized beautifully and was able to return home to her own bed just a few hours later and ultimately I’m thankful we moved locations where we had some additional support available.
Big brother and big sister are absolutely over the moon with their newest addition, and I’m so grateful to have been invited to walk alongside this family through two incredible journeys now. đŸ€

One thing about birth workers
 we genuinely do not care if you’re naked 😂

By the time you’ve spent enough hours catching babies, b***s become the medical equivalent of an elbow. Just another body part.

We are not judging your body, your stretch marks, your leaking b***s, your giant diaper underwear, or the fact that labor suddenly made clothing feel personally offensive.

Honestly most of us won’t even notice you’re naked because we’re too busy watching baby, timing contractions, grabbing snacks, and making sure you’re okay.

So yes hun
 get your t**s out đŸ€

One of the hardest parts of planning an out of hospital birth is the constant horror stories people feel entitled to share the second you mention it.

“My baby would have died if I had a homebirth.”
“Good thing I was in the hospital.”
“You never know what could happen.”

And while those experiences are real and valid
 they often have absolutely nothing to do with your pregnancy, your risk factors, or your birth.

Many of the people saying this were never low risk candidates for homebirth to begin with. Midwives are highly trained in screening for, evaluating, and managing risk. Safe homebirth is not about pretending emergencies never happen — it’s about carefully selecting appropriate candidates, monitoring closely, and knowing when higher levels of care are needed.

Research consistently shows planned homebirth with a qualified provider can be as safe, or in some cases safer, for low risk mothers and babies.

You do not have to absorb every stranger’s fear as your own.

Your job is not to make decisions based on someone else’s birth trauma or circumstances. Your job is to understand your own health, your own pregnancy, your own values, and decide what risks you personally feel comfortable with. Every birth setting carries benefits, tradeoffs, and risks.

Fear-based comments are loud. But informed decision making should always be louder. đŸ€

Social media talks a lot about informed consent — your right to hear the risks, benefits, and alternatives before agreeing to something.

This is one of the core values of midwifery care and something we take very seriously at Miracle Moments Midwifery.

But informed refusal matters just as much.

Clients have every right to decline a test, routine, recommendation, or intervention — even when it’s not the choice someone else would make. True autonomy only exists if you still feel respected and safe when your answer is “no.”

As providers, our job is not to control your decisions. Our job is to educate you, support you, and make sure you feel empowered to make the choices that align with your values and comfort level.

At Miracle Moments, you are encouraged to make your own informed decisions about glucose screening, ultrasounds, cervical exams, induction methods, and every other aspect of your care.

Because this is your body, your baby, and your birth. đŸ€

Did you know delayed cord clamping has been linked to lower rates of iron deficiency in babies even up to 6 months of age?

After birth, blood continues transferring from the placenta to baby for several minutes. This extra blood volume provides important iron stores that support growth and brain development in early infancy.

At Miracle Moments Midwifery we routinely wait an hour or more before clamping the cord when both mom and baby are doing well. By that point, the cord has usually long completed its job, but we continue to wait out of respect for the mother-baby bonding period and the natural transition after birth.

Those first moments matter. What's the rush? đŸ€

Next up is another first-time mom!

This couple drove over 2 hours to receive care with Miracle Moments Midwifery—and I’m so glad they did. They were an absolute blast to work with and had quite the birth story!

A little background before we jump in


This was one of those rare days where I had two clients in labor at the same time. It doesn’t happen often—but when it does, things can get interesting! This client was planning a birth center birth, and my other client was planning a home birth.

My home birth client was ready for admission, and I knew this mom was getting close too—although I hadn’t gotten the call yet. I checked in with my home birth client, and she was more than willing to meet at the birth center instead (we did have a backup midwife ready if needed).

So, I walked into the birth center with a plan in place.

What I didn’t expect
 was how fast things were about to move.

This client had arrived just about 5 minutes before me, planning to labor a bit with her doula—not for admission yet. I passed dad in the hallway, and he casually mentioned he thought baby might be coming soon. I thought, “Great! Perfect timing.”

I headed back to connect with Bethany (doula)
 and suddenly heard mom calmly say that baby’s head was right there, while Bethany was urgently trying to call me 😅

Perfect timing, indeed.

I walked into the room—and within about 5 minutes, baby was in mom’s arms.

So yes
 baby was, in fact, right there đŸ€ŁđŸ™Œ

This mom absolutely rocked her birth, and I’m already looking forward to the next time I get to walk alongside this family again.

Welcome to the world, Benton—you are the perfect addition to such a sweet couple đŸ€

Man, do I have some announcements coming for you guys! We welcomed 5 babies in 7 days 👀 plus this sweet family from a few weeks back
 so needless to say, we’ve been busy!

Let me tell you about this first-time mom who absolutely rocked her birth.

When labor started, she worked with her body. She moved often, trusted each wave of contraction, stayed nourished, hydrated, and rested when she could. After lots of time and hard work, she started feeling pushy.

She pushed with steady determination— and made consistent progress. Zaden tolerated everything beautifully, but it took some time. After 3.5 hours of pushing, he finally made his way into mom’s arms in a beautiful tub birth, surrounded by dad and her friend.

And once he was earthside, it all made sense.

The molding on Zaden’s head was some of the most significant I’ve ever seen in a vaginal birth—positioned far to the side. It was clear that both mom and baby had done some serious work to bring him earthside.

And she did it. She stayed the course and was rewarded with the exact birth she hoped for—reaching down and bringing her baby up to her chest in the water đŸ€

Mom and dad have been soaking in these sweet newborn days and settling into life as a family of three ❀

Congratulations to you both! It was an honor to walk alongside you in this journey.

It never gets old!

It's so important your provider understands how babies navigate the pelvis.

Labor isn’t a one person event, it’s a dance between mother and baby.
Staying upright and using positions like hands and knees, side lying, lunges, and asymmetrical movement can significantly influence how labor progresses

Of course we can't force anything, but we can create space and allow baby to rotate and descend more easily.

When the mother moves, the baby responds that’s how we work with the physiology instead of against it!

Sometimes I get so caught up in the pressure of always chasing the next goal, caught up in the numbers, the growth, the doubts of “what if this doesn’t work
”

Then I take a step back and remember the version of me that just wanted to be here.

The little girl who just wanted to be in healthcare, to support people, to help someone, to make even the smallest difference.
She would be in disbelief of the things I have accomplished.

So yes, it feels heavy sometimes, but I am so lucky to have the problems I once prayed for.

Little Sam would be so proud of me đŸ„°đŸ„č
