Here’s a great option to get outside!

Moms- feel free to baby wear, bring a stroller, or have your littles walk! The plan is to meet at the gym, then walk the cemetery.

We know the glucose tolerance test can feel like a pass-or-fail moment-but it's really just information about how your body is handling pregnancy right now. Whether your screening comes back elevated, low, or right in the middle, it's an opportunity to learn what your baby needs from you during these weeks.

Elevated glucose? That doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. It means your body might need some extra support with nutrition and movement to keep things balanced. Low glucose? We'll talk about how to fuel yourself better. Normal range? Great-let's keep that going.

This is where we come in. We use nutrition and lifestyle strategies tailored to *your* body and *your* pregnancy to help you feel confident and healthy. Every screening is a chance to deepen that partnership between you, us, and your growing baby.

What surprised you about your screening? Or what questions do you still have? Drop them in the comments-let's normalize this conversation together. 💙

Need support navigating your pregnancy care? We offer free consultations.

This little doll baby came into the world during a 50yr heat wave & guess what Mom & Dad don’t have AC. Her mama worked so calmly, quietly and did amazing! Welcome Earthside Kailynn Marie

I deal with insomnia - it’s not a midwifery side effect, but a ME thing. So many people suffer and this tool has helped me get my mind in a better place. Putting on the mask, it starts to flash lights. You close your eyes and it almost ‘paints’ a show behind your eyelids. Helps my mind focus, quiet and slow down. It’s been so helpful.

For centuries, midwives have carried forward sacred wisdom about birth, healing, and motherhood. St. Brigid, the patron saint of midwifery, reminds us that this lineage is both ancient and alive-and YOUR story is part of it.

We're curious: what spiritual belief, cultural tradition, or family practice has shaped how you think about birth and becoming a parent? Maybe it's something passed down through generations, a ritual that feels sacred to you, or a value that guides your choices.

Share in the comments below. We'd love to hear what birth means to you and your family. 💚

Even the most thoughtful eaters can have hidden nutritional gaps during pregnancy-and they matter more than you might think.

Here are five micronutrients we screen for at every visit:

🧠 Choline - essential for your baby's brain and memory development
⚡ Iron - low levels = fatigue, brain fog, and slower fetal growth
☀️ Vitamin D - affects bone health, immunity, and mood
🧂 Iodine - critical for thyroid function and cognitive development
🥛 Calcium - supports your bones and baby's skeletal growth

You might not notice symptoms until they're advanced. That's why we test, not guess.

Which of these have you heard about? Which one surprised you most? Drop a comment-let's talk about what your body needs right now.

Your partner isn't just there to hold your hand-they're an active architect of your birth experience, from the first contraction to the first skin-to-skin moment.

We've walked hundreds of families through labor, and the partners who step into a defined role-comfort guide, advocate, steady witness-change the entire dynamic. They help you progress. They translate your needs. They reflect your strength back to you when it matters most.

So here's our question: What role resonates most with you and your partner? Are you the comfort architect, the steady anchor, or something else entirely? Drop your thoughts in the comments-we'd love to hear how you're envisioning partnership in your birth.
