💕 Welcome to the world, sweet Elowen! 💕

At 6lb 7oz, this precious little girl has already stolen so many hearts!

These beautiful photos of mom and dad soaking up some quiet, one-on-one time with their newest little love are extra special… because we have a feeling moments like these might be few and far between! Elowen has SEVEN older siblings waiting to shower her with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of attention! 🥰

This was also a special milestone for mom and dad—their very first out-of-hospital birth! We were so honored to be part of this experience and help welcome baby Elowen into her wonderful family.

Congratulations to this beautiful family! Elowen, you are one very loved little girl!

💕 Welcome to the world, sweet Eliana! 💕

Weighing in at a petite 6lbs even, this beautiful baby girl made her entrance into the world at the BirthWise birth center!

Now a mom of three little ones, this mama chose something new for her third birth—her very first out-of-hospital birth!

We love seeing families explore different birth options and find the setting that feels right for them. What a joy to be part of this new chapter as their family grows from four to five!

Congratulations to this sweet family, and welcome, little Eliana! 💗

👣 Tiny little feet, leaving beautiful footprints on our hearts! 💕

Welcome to the world, sweet Juniper!

Weighing in at 9lb 3oz, Juniper made her entrance into the world during a beautiful water birth at home! What makes this birth extra special is that just last year, we had the joy of welcoming Juniper’s big sister into the world, too!

Welcome, Juniper! Those little feet have a whole big world to explore! 👣❤️

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. 🤍

This month, we remember the babies who were deeply loved but gone too soon, and we hold space for the families who carry them in their hearts every day.

Your baby mattered. Your love matters. And their story will always be part of yours.

Sending extra love this month to every family who has experienced pregnancy or infant loss. 🤍

Welcome Selah! Sometimes babies have their own plans! 💕

This soon-to-be mom of five was planning beautiful birth at home, but this little one decided to keep everyone guessing. After lots of time, patience, and hard pushing without the progress we wanted to see, the decision was made to transfer to the hospital for some additional support.

And eventually we found out why she was making things a little more challenging! This chunky 9 lb 11 oz baby girl was born with her hand tucked right up under her chin, making her head a little off-center as she worked her way down and out. Whew! 😅

Birth doesn’t always unfold exactly as planned, and sometimes the safest path means changing the plan along the way. Mom worked incredibly hard, and in the end, that sweet baby was finally in her arms. Congratulations to this family on the birth of sweet Selah. 💗

✨ What happens when a baby needs help breathing after birth?

Most babies transition beautifully after birth with little intervention. But occasionally, a baby needs some extra help taking those first breaths.

This photo captures one of those moments.

Here, two BirthWise midwives are providing positive-pressure ventilation with a bag and mask while Mom and Dad remain right there—close to their baby, talking to their baby and encouraging their little one through those first moments.

Midwives who attend out-of-hospital births come prepared for situations like this. We carry neonatal resuscitation equipment and maintain training in newborn resuscitation so that when a baby needs support, we can recognize it and respond quickly.

And sometimes that response is as simple—and as important—as helping move air into a baby’s lungs until they begin breathing effectively on their own.

Birth is usually beautifully uncomplicated. But being supportive of physiologic birth doesn’t mean being unprepared for the unexpected.

It means knowing when to watch, when to wait…and when to act.

Welcome to the world, Charlotte! 💕

This sweet 8 lb 8 oz baby girl is baby number three for this wonderful family—and Mom has now experienced birth in three different settings! Her first baby was born in the hospital, her second in a birth center, and this time she chose to welcome Charlotte right at home with BirthWise.

And just look at that sibling love! Big brother and big sister are already completely smitten with their newest little bundle. There’s something so special about welcoming a baby at home, right into the everyday love and life of the family.
Congratulations to this beautiful family, and welcome, Charlotte! 🤍

✨ DID YOU KNOW? A lot is happening in that peaceful first hour after birth…without necessarily looking like much is happening at all.

When mom and baby are both doing well, there isn’t a need to immediately separate them or rush through the newborn exam.

Instead, baby can settle skin-to-skin on Mom’s chest while we quietly assess both of them. We’re watching baby’s breathing, color, heart rate and transition to life outside the womb. We are monitoring Mom’s bleeding and vital signs and making sure the uterus is firm and contracting appropriately.

The placenta is born. Baby often begins showing feeding cues and may have that first latch. Everyone gets a chance to meet each other. 🤍

And that newborn exam you see in so many of our photos? Weight, measurements and a more complete head-to-toe assessment can often wait until after that initial bonding time.

There’s a lot of clinical care happening in those first moments—but when everything is going well, it all can happen quietly, right where Mom and baby already are.

Sometimes good care looks like doing a lot.

And sometimes it looks like knowing when not to interrupt.
