In Due Season Birth Center & Family Wellness

Give birth in one of our comfortable suites at the birth center or in the privacy of your own home. Childbirth is a normal, healthy process.

At In Due Season Pregnancy Wellness & Birth Center, we believe that:
1. Women have the right to seek care that is medically safe, fits their lifestyle, and recognizes and respects their individual physical, social, spiritual, psychological, and economic needs.
2. Women and families have the right and responsibility to assume an active role in their own health care. Our care is provided by a team with the client as an equal team member.
3. The role of the caregiver is to support and promote this normal process, while recognizing and dealing with any deviations from normal. Confidence in this normal process is promoted in all aspects of care.
4. Because the family is the cornerstone of our social structure, maternity care must support and promote family unity and development. Family members, including siblings, should be involved in the childbearing experience to whatever extent the family desires. “Family” is defined by the client.
5. Education is an essential part of quality health care. With knowledge freely exchanged between our staff and clients, women and their families are able to assume shared responsibility for and make informed choices about their health care.

Let me say this loud, real loud, for the people in the back!

Why, in 2026, in the United States of America, are we still unable to figure out how to care for women well across disciplines?

Why is it still so hard for midwives and hospital staff to work together with mutual respect?

I am a licensed midwife in the state of Florida. I have been serving this community for over 10 years. I have personally delivered more than 2,500 babies. My birth center has one of the highest safety records in the state. I care for low-risk, healthy women, and I know exactly when a higher level of care is needed. That is part of my training. That is part of my responsibility.

And yet tonight, when I transferred a patient appropriately, I was met with resistance, delay, and ultimately exclusion.

Let me be clear. This was a woman I have cared for since early pregnancy. I knew her history. I knew her trauma. I knew her needs. She was nine centimeters. She needed support, continuity, and a smooth transition.

Instead, we were routed through the ER, delayed unnecessarily, separated from support, and then I was told I was not allowed in the room.

Not allowed.

For a patient I have walked with for months.

For a woman with anxiety and a history of PTSD who needed a familiar face.

For a situation where continuity of care is not a luxury, it is a safety measure.

And I had to fight to be there.

That should never happen.

This is not about ego. This is not about territory. This is about patient safety and respectful, collaborative care.

We say we care about maternal outcomes in this country, yet we continue to create environments that are fragmented, adversarial, and, at times, traumatizing.

Midwives are not the enemy.

We are licensed. We are trained. We are regulated. We are part of the solution.

And when a transfer happens, it should be a handoff, not a battle.

It should be a moment where two teams come together for the good of one woman and her baby.

Instead, too often, it becomes a power struggle.

And women feel it.

They carry it.

And it is one of the reasons so many are afraid of hospital birth in the first place.

We can do better than this.

There are moments in this work that can just take your breath away… and today was one of them.
Nearly nine years ago, this sweet baby was born right here in this very space. Wrapped in love, surrounded by peace, and welcomed into the world with intention. Today, she walked back into her birth room, not as a newborn, but as a bright, beautiful little girl full of life, with questions about her birth day..
The room has changed over the years… different colors, different details, growth and refinement just like all of us. But what hasn’t changed is what matters most, the heart behind this space, the prayers that have filled it, and the sacredness of the lives that begin here.
And me, I had just walked in from a workout, no time to slow down before stepping into this moment… but somehow that made it even more real. Life keeps moving, and yet these full circle moments have a way of gently pausing time.
Time passes. Rooms change. We grow.
But the impact of a birth… the imprint of that beginning… it stays.
What a gift it is to witness not just beginnings, but the beautiful unfolding that comes after.

Things first time Moms should know!

Should newborns wear hats right after birth?
Lately there has been a growing conversation in the birth world questioning the little hat that is often placed on a baby’s head moments after they are born.
Some argue that leaving the baby bare headed during the golden hour allows mothers to fully smell, kiss, and connect with their newborn in ways that stimulate oxytocin and strengthen early bonding.
And there is something deeply beautiful about that first hour.
Right after birth a woman's body releases a surge of oxytocin, the hormone that helps the uterus contract, assists the placenta in separating, encourages breastfeeding, and supports the deep bonding that begins between mother and baby.
Skin to skin contact plays a powerful role in that process. Warmth, touch, scent, and the simple act of a mother holding and exploring her newborn all support this incredible physiologic cascade.
But the conversation about hats deserves a little balance.
Newborns come from a warm fluid environment into a much cooler room. In the first minutes after birth they are wet with amniotic fluid and often have damp hair that takes time to dry.
A baby’s head represents a large portion of their body surface area, so when that hair is wet, evaporative heat loss can happen quickly. Many babies are also born with a surprising amount of hair that can stay damp for quite some time.
This is one of the reasons newborn hats became common practice in the first place. A simple dry hat can help reduce heat loss while the baby transitions to life outside the womb.
Importantly, a hat does not interrupt skin to skin.
Baby can still be placed directly on the mother’s chest. A warm blanket can cover the baby’s back. The room can remain calm and quiet while mother and baby discover each other.
And from a sensory perspective, the scent of the baby is still very present. The amniotic fluid and vernix that carry that familiar smell are still on the baby’s skin, and once the hair begins to dry the hat itself often holds that scent as well.
In midwifery and physiologic birth settings, the real priority is not the hat.
The real priority is keeping mother and baby together.
Baby on the mother’s chest
Skin to skin contact
A calm environment
Time and space for breastfeeding and bonding
Whether a baby wears a hat for warmth or goes bare headed for a time, the most important thing is protecting that sacred first hour and allowing birth physiology to do what it was beautifully designed to do.
Thoughtful care will always matter more than rigid routines.

Every now and then someone says something in birth work that makes you tilt your head like this little guy.
“Your baby has to be delivered.”
“We need to deliver your baby.”
But here is the truth that has been true since the beginning of time.
Babies are not delivered like packages.
They are born.
A woman’s body was beautifully designed to labor, open, and bring forth life. Midwives do not “deliver” babies. Doctors do not “deliver” babies.
Mothers birth babies.
Birth has been birth ever since birth was birthed.
As midwives, our role is to protect that process, guard the environment, support the mother, and step in only when it is truly needed.
Language matters because it shapes how women see their own power.
You were never meant to be passive in birth.
You were meant to be powerful in it.

There is a moment in every birth where everything shifts.

The moment she realizes…
“I’m doing it.”

Not because it’s easy.
Not because it’s quiet.
But because something deep inside rises to meet the moment.

And when her baby is finally placed on her chest,
you can see it in her eyes…

She didn’t just give birth to her baby.
She was born too.

02/24/2026

Birth is not something we make happen.
It’s something we protect.

A woman’s body already knows how to open, release, and bring her baby into the world. When she feels safe, supported, and undisturbed, her body can do exactly what it was designed to do.

At In Due Season Birth Center, we honor the quiet power of birth.
We watch. We listen. We step in only when truly needed.

Because sometimes the most important thing we can do… is nothing at all.
