3am. Mama and baby are all tucked in and resting. Laundry is going. Everything from the birth is all cleaned up. We are feeling tired and ready to go to our own beds and families, but also feeling happy and undeniably grateful for this life work we get to do. - - - - #empoweredbirth #homebirth #midwiferystudent #midwiferyschool #studentmidwife #childbirth #doula #doulas #birthdoula #normalbirth #midwives #midwife #naturalbirth #birthwithoutfear #childbirtheducator #childbirtheducation #prenatal #postpartum #outofhospitalbirth #birthcenter #birthcenterbirth #birthdoulas #postpartumdoulas #thankyoumidwife #callthemidwfe #midwiferycare #postpartumdoula

On the subject of why Kyle & I work as a team....this is my face when I have to leave my kids at swim lessons with a babysitter to go catch a baby. ‍♀️ I got a call this mom was crowning & I knew I wouldn’t make it so having Kyle to call was huge! I knew she would arrive a few minutes before me and together we were able to support this couple through a crazy fast delivery! Guys, this life is INSANE but I love it Happy Birthday baby N ❤️ #wichitabirth #wichitamoms #empoweredbirth #homebirth #naturalbirth #midwifelife

It’s been a crazy and emotional day. I’m 36 weeks with some of my pretty typical early labor signs. I’ve never had a baby drop this early or watched this process start so soon. Eric is getting ready to go to sea and I’ve been an absolute basket case truly realizing there’s a good chance I will be doing this birth without him. Maybe it’s just the stress of knowing he’s leaving that’s setting me off. I’m feeling pressure to keep the house clean and the yard trimmed for house rental showings which just doesn’t feel ideal while trying to keep a baby in regardless of what it is, it’s been trying. I think some times you just have to feel it all to move past it and accept it. Today has certainly been that day for me. Today was healthy, and I needed to process it. I’m thankful for every birth he’s been home for so far and still just praying something will change before he leaves. Otherwise, meet my new doulas ☝#militaryfamily #homebirth

Yes, millions of women give birth every day, but YOU don’t give birth every day. • Having a baby is a BIG FREAKIN’ DEAL. Women deserve the chance to talk about even the most “textbook” birth experience; HOWEVER, unless you frequent the birthing world’s circles, many find they don’t have an interested audience. • I remember every second of my births and I remember wanting to talk about every second of them. • Processing your birth experience becomes even more crucial when your experience didn’t go as planned, or if at any moment you feared for you or your little’s life. • This week is birth trauma awareness week and I personally can’t overstate how important this cause is. Unaddressed birth trauma or the need to grieve and process an undesired birth experience is one of the most common themes I see. And while I am excited about the medical community’s interest in maternal mental health and trauma-informed care which will absolutely reduce many traumatic experiences EVEN IF the circumstances surrounding the experience can’t be avoided, I think we as a whole need to do better in honoring a new mother’s personal birth experience. • We need to allow women to talk about their vaginas, physical sensations, and other bodily functions without grimacing in disgust. We need to hold space for her realities without attempting to redirect her to be grateful or minimize her experience by reminding her it could be worst. Even if we have the best of intentions, these responses send a very clear message that we are not open listening to her story. • I’m sharing more post specifically on birth trauma in my stories ✊ . . . . . #momsmatter #birthstory #birthstories #birthtrauma #birthtraumahealing #birthtraumarecovery #traumaticbirth #maternalmentalhealth #igavebirth #firsttimemummy #firsttimemom #childbirth #birthdoula #doulalife #narrativetherapy #csectionmama #emergencycsection #prematurebirth #mothershape #thebump #homebirth #hypnobabies #naturalchildbirth #whattoexpect #momgroup #thirdtrimester #childbirtheducation #childbirtheducator #momsmatter #newmomlife

Mamas - what was your birth like Did you want to go med-free or was the epidural your bestie? Maybe you had a c-section and that’s great too! no matter what YOU’RE A ROCKSTAR . Personally I aimed for, and achieved, my all-natural birth!! I’ve had a ton of questions about what I did to prepare for going the led-free route. So much so that I put up a blog post recapping ALL the things I did! Link in bio so tag a mama-to-be to go read!!

Better late than never! I FINALLY got around to writing down Zander’s birth story & sharing it over on the BLOG today. It took only a short 6 months to get to it but nonetheless it was one of the most magical days and a really positive birth experience we had at home.

Happy Friday, friends What is everyone up to today?! Tell me!! My husband & I are headed on a little date together- walking around stores, kid free! Haha! (The things that are luxuries once you have kids is hilarious.) . On another note, how cute is this “My Mama is a Doula” shirt from @momaftergodsownheartshop?! Not sponsored, I just think this is the cutest shirt. And obviously El does, too. Be blessed, lovely people. Sending you huge hugs & wrapping your little heart in love.
