No one can birth that baby for you! ♡
This is work that only YOU can do! ♡
Your loved ones, your partner & your family, your doula, your doctor, your midwife- we can help, support, encourage, (even intervene if necessary), but you, YOU must birth you… https://t.co/nVgjQ4mYoO

Hello dear ones! I am praying for the right words - words that reassure - words to bring calm to your hearts and minds.

One of the overriding feelings surrounding pregnancy - birth - new parenthood - is VULNERABILITY. That isn't a bad thing. It can… https://t.co/OlxLHsIRBj

Sometimes, the first 6 weeks after birth can feel more like 6 months! ♡

Postpartum recovery is REAL! The body is healing physically from the birth- and there are so many new sensations, experiences and emotions in play. Breastfeeding- learning to ca… https://t.co/gafCzVCneY

How true is this? It can be very validating to hear that this experience is a shared one.

Birth can be a family event! Mom definitely has her work to do- the hardest work - but that doesn't necessarily mean her people can't do their part! Moms- It means so much to the people who love you to have something to do- some small job through which t… https://t.co/HyW0EX8pZM

Women often apologize to us for sharing "too much information." They don't realize that there is NO SUCH THING as TMI when it comes to being a midwife - and that the more information we have, the better we can do our job of caring for each woman and each… https://t.co/GCZpO62UPk

Have you ever thought that maybe you'll be one of those women who sleeps through labor? Do you wonder if maybe you won't realize you're having contractions and maybe you'll even miss it?

LOTS of first time mothers share this same concern!

It's TRUE that the cervix needs to move out of the way before the baby can come out. 🏵
However, in terms of your body getting ready to let the baby out, it's more promising to have a soft, thin cervix with a baby who is quite low in the pelvis, than … https://t.co/ZjpNk5lN9u

The day after you give birth, a midwife pays you a visit at home! You get to stay snuggled in your OWN bed, eating your OWN food with your family nearby, and WE come to YOU! We check on mom and baby, see that breastfeeding is off to a good start, and mak… https://t.co/wWsGFBFLyv

Let's be honest- Let's talk about control.
.

The fact that most of us don't know what to expect from birth - or even when to expect it - can be pretty intimidating. When will it happen? How will it feel? Will I be able to handle the sensations? Will my … https://t.co/hr8JZkeQcq

In our opinion- Midwifery is an ART as well as a SCIENCE! It takes TIME to listen, understand, empathize, and be present with each INDIVIDUAL woman. - Its not just about the weighing, measuring, and lab tests- it's also about time spent really LISTENING… https://t.co/s6soEWMp8W

A little birth affirmation for your morning. Our bodies are so powerful, even outside of childbirth, we can do so many things our mind does not always believe. Trust in yourself. Trust your body.
