🩷 August was a month full of little blessings!🩵

Six precious babies made their entrance into the world with Heaven Sent Homebirth this August, and each one has left a special place in our hearts!

Some births will always hold a special place in our hearts.💕

This beautiful moment captures a little piece of history, our very first waterbirth and only the second baby ever born at our birth center!

There is so much love in this photograph. It was everything we had dreamed these birth suites would be filled with, love, joy and families growing.

What makes this birth even more special is hearing how much the experience meant to this family.

In her own words:

“The room was dimly lit and warm, and we kept my music playing. ... Because of all of the communication ahead of time we had no issues with the birthing environment, and my birth plan fully came true. How special is that!”

And perhaps the greatest compliment of all?

“The entire experience, beginning to end, makes a girl think about Baby #4.”🥹

Since that beautiful day, we’ve reached another milestone. 12 precious babies have now been welcomed into the world at the birth center!

Each baby, each family, and each birth story has become part of the heart of this little birth center. We are so grateful for the families who have entrusted us with these sacred moments.

Because birth is holy, and every life is Heaven-sent. 🩷

I’m excited to announce that County NP and Heaven Sent Homebirth will be offering informational sessions in the Racoon Valley Bank Community House during The Wellness Gathering.

Come hear Ruth speak at 4pm on what a whole-person approach to wellness looks like. Then stay as Sarah talks about being the first Iowa home birthing center and the services they offer.

Both will also have booths set up after for any questions or to continue the conversation.

Save the date!!!

Delayed cord clamping is routine in our practice. We typically “wait until white”, or the placenta has delivered. This study shows that there is more than just iron involved in your baby receiving all of their blood. 💕

It isn’t every day that a client shares her birth story on a podcast! If you’re looking for some inspiration, especially as first time parents, this is a great episode. ♥️ We’ve grown pretty fond of this family and have been blessed with being able to take care of Abby for her second and soon her third baby.

“How do I know whether to choose a homebirth or a birth center?”

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Both offer personalized midwifery care in a low-intervention setting for healthy, low-risk pregnancies.

Some families love welcoming their baby in the familiarity of their own home. Others appreciate having a dedicated birth space with a ready-to-use birth tub, no cleanup afterward, and the reassurance of being close to EMS and the hospital if a transfer is ever needed.

No matter which option you choose, our goal is the same: to provide safe, compassionate care while honoring your birth preferences.
