Never have I ever rolled my eyes harder 🙄 LOL Just no 🙅🏼‍♀️ Bruh no one cares what you’re wearing in the carpool line. They care about you getting in the correct lane and that you’re paying attention so you keep the line moving effectively.

Am I right or am I right?

If it feels magical looking at these photos, it is because it was ✨

Kaitlyn labored beautifully on her due date to bring her sweet boy here. She spent time at home, arrived at the hospital in active labor, we did some balances, she spent some time in the tub, then it was time. A few pushes later on hand and knees and Baby Anderson was here!

So grateful for such a beautiful day for this family. Thank you for trusting me to be a part of Kaitlyn and Bryce! Welcome to the world sweet Anderson 🩵

Health care in the United States is increasingly team-based, and doulas—who often provide emotional, physical, and educational support for patients during birth, the postpartum period, and beyond—are valuable members of many care teams.

ACOG’s new clinical guidance encourages ob-gyn collaboration with doulas and gives ob-gyns the tools they need to better understand a doula’s role. It also highlights the importance of stronger partnerships between clinicians and doulas, which can provide vital support across the lifespan—including during and after pregnancy—and can lead to better patient outcomes.

I’m a sucker for a historic fiction. Especially in the summertime and with some birth history as the storyline. If you’re birthy like me or just want some great reads in that genre, check these out!

The German Midwife by Mandy Robotham is a historical fiction novel about Anke Hoff, a German midwife imprisoned in a N**i labor camp for helping Jewish mothers, who is suddenly tasked with delivering Eva Braun’s secret baby for Hi**er. The book explores her moral conflict as she navigates the horrors of the regime while trying to preserve life, blending historical events with a fictional “what if” scenario, and is praised for its emotional depth and realistic portrayal of childbirth during the war.

Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is a historical novel by Lisa See, inspired by the true story of Tan Yunxian, a female physician in 15th-century China during the Ming Dynasty. The book follows Yunxian as she defies societal expectations for women, learning medicine from her grandmother and forming a deep bond with a midwife, Meiling, to treat women and girls despite the restrictions of her arranged marriage and traditional culture. It explores themes of female friendship, tradition, and perseverance, highlighting the importance of women supporting each other through life’s challenges.

The Frozen River is a historical mystery novel by Ariel Lawhon. Set in Maine in 1789, it follows an 18th-century midwife and healer named Martha Ballard who discovers a body in the frozen Kennebec River. She uses her diary to investigate the man’s murder and seek justice for a local r**e victim.

The Forgotten Midwife by Laura Anthony is a historical fiction novel set in dual timelines: 1950s Ireland and present-day New Jersey, based on true events surrounding Ireland’s “mother and baby homes”. The story follows Margaret, a young woman forced to become a nun who fights to protect pregnant women in a home for “fallen girls,” while a modern-day bride, Riley, uncovers family secrets that connect her to this past, searching for her heritage and a sense of belonging. It explores themes of sisterhood, resilience, family secrets, and the strength of women against oppression.

The Red Tent is a 1997 historical fiction novel by Anita Diamant. It expands the brief biblical story of Dinah, the daughter of Jacob and Leah. The title refers to a sanctuary where ancient women gathered during menstruation and childbirth, depicted as a space of female community, midwifery, and storytelling.
