Thinking about having your first baby at home?

Many families assume homebirth is only for those who have already had a baby, but planning a community birth for your first child actually gives you a significantly better chance of a physiological, vaginal birth.

National studies show that low-risk individuals planning a homebirth have drastically lower cesarean rates compared to those planning a hospital birth. By staying in the comfort of your own home, your body can produce the natural oxytocin it needs to progress labor without unnecessary interventions.

Trust your body from the very beginning.

Many of you have come to know Maible as my administrative assistant. She has been such an important part of Birthroot Midwifery for years. I am so grateful for all that she has tended to for me!

Maible is moving on from her roll here to have more time to pursue her work in womb care and postpartum care, and of course motherhood.

Many blessings on your journey and I will miss you!

The relationship we build as midwife and client is profound. It isn’t simply clinical, it is more like a friendship where we care about each other in real and meaningful ways.

Have you built a deep relationship with your provider? I find this a unique experience within the model of community based birth.

How can this kind of relationship form in a 7 minute visit which is the average length of an OB visit? It can’t.

Why is this kind of relationship important?

Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Welcome baby boy! One of the best parts about having your baby at home is the simple fact that you are home! Postpartum is dreamy with your food in your bed, a shower in your shower, and not having to drive anywhere!

Feeling autumn in the air with cooler temperatures, rain, and leaves beginning to change. It was time for a plant refresh!

Leaving well alone in the third stage of labor.⁣
⁣
Did you know that early cord clamping deprives a baby of an estimated 54 to 160 ml of blood? ⁣
⁣
According to Dr. Sarah Buckley, this represents up to half of a baby’s total blood volume at birth!⁣
⁣
When we allow the umbilical cord to remain intact until it has completely finished pulsing and turned white, we ensure your baby receives their full volume of blood, rich in iron, oxygen, and stem cells.⁣
⁣
This gentle transition is standard care at Birthroot Midwifery.⁣
