When birth happens at home, the whole family gets a front-row seat, including the furry supervisors. 🐱💜

Anybody who has worked with me knows that magnesium glycinate is my ride-or-die.

Magnesium wears a lot of hats, but glycinate is the one I recommend most often. It’s gentle on the stomach, absorbs beautifully, and I hear from so many of you how much it’s helped with sleep, tension, anxiety, and those pesky pregnancy leg cramps.
Save this guide for the next time you’re standing in the supplement aisle wondering which bottle to grab. And as always, talk to your care provider before starting any new supplement, especially during pregnancy.

The artwork? Museum-worthy.

I was lucky enough to welcome this sweet little guy into the world, and now to get baby snuggles with this gloriously chunky little dude, all while his incredibly talented big sister keeps me supplied with priceless pink masterpieces.

Getting to care for siblings, cousins, and entire growing families is one of the greatest gifts of being a midwife. My heart is so full.

Pregnancy already asks the body to work harder. Extreme heat and poor air quality can add extra strain, making it more difficult to stay hydrated, regulate body temperature, and breathe comfortably.

On hot or smoky days, check the temperature and Air Quality Index before spending extended time outdoors. Drink water regularly, rest in a cool indoor space, keep windows closed when outdoor air is unhealthy, and use air conditioning or a HEPA air purifier when available. If you must go outside during wildfire smoke, a well-fitting N95 or KN95 offers better protection than a cloth or surgical mask.

Pay attention to symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, weakness, headache, trouble breathing, confusion, or feeling unusually overheated. Seek medical guidance promptly when something does not feel right.

Protecting yourself from heat and unhealthy air is part of caring for your pregnancy, not an overreaction.

There is something powerful about being held by your mother as you become a mother yourself.

Home birth can bring generations together in a deeply personal way. In moments of intensity, strength is not always standing alone. Sometimes strength is leaning into the people who know you, love you, and remind you that you are not carrying the moment by yourself.

Birth belongs to the person giving birth, but family support can help surround that experience with comfort, courage, and love. *image shared with permission*

Today we celebrate freedom, resilience, and the generations of Black families whose strength has shaped our communities.

Black birth parents continue to face unacceptable disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes, and there is still much work to be done to ensure every family receives safe, respectful, and equitable care.

We honor the Black mothers, birth parents, babies, families, birth workers, and community leaders who continue to advocate for change and inspire a better future.

Happy Juneteenth. We celebrate today while remaining committed to the work ahead.

Some days, a small gesture says a lot. Feeling appreciated and grateful for the families who trust us with their care. 💛...
