Today we celebrate International Day of the Midwife 💛

For 30 years, the dedicated midwives at Puget Sound Birth Center have been caring for families across King and Snohomish County—supporting, empowering, and walking alongside parents through some of life’s most meaningful moments.

Midwifery is more than a profession; it’s a commitment to compassionate, personalized care and to honoring each birth experience with respect and dignity. Our midwives build lasting relationships with the families they serve, creating a space where trust, knowledge, and support come together.

To every midwife who has been part of our journey over the past three decades—thank you. Your skill, heart, and dedication have shaped our community in countless ways.

Here’s to 30 years of care, connection, and bringing new life into the world—and to many more to come. 🌿

Can you imagine living in a state where home birth (or the freedom to choose where you birth) is illegal?! Nebraska isn't the only state. This is a beautiful milestone in a long journey to shift the system. Remembering that midwives are of the oldest profession and tradition!

Nebraska is widely recognized as the only state with explicit statutory language making it a felony for a Certified Nurse-Midwife to attend a planned home birth. Other forms of home birth midwifery practice are also unlawful under current state law, making this home birth a significant milestone in the state’s maternity care history. Ms. Lindstrom received authorization for a home birth with a CNM through a legal settlement with the State of Nebraska.

“This is a historic moment for Nebraska families and for maternity care in our state,” said Elizabeth Mollard, President of the Nebraska Affiliate of the American College of Nurse-Midwives. “Women deserve access to evidence-based maternity care options and the ability to make informed decisions about where they give birth. Across the United States, planned home birth attended by appropriately trained and regulated Certified Nurse-Midwives is an accepted option. Nebraska families should not be denied choices available everywhere else in the nation.”

Hope Lindstrom’s birth team was led by Heather Swanson, a Certified Nurse-Midwife whose prior legal challenge to Nebraska’s restrictions on home birth practice advanced for consideration by the Supreme Court of the United States.

The Nebraska Affiliate noted that the event highlights broader questions about access to maternity care, patient autonomy, and the need to modernize state laws governing midwifery practice so families can access this care without having to sue the state.

What a beautiful compliment from one of our clients and local providers! "I really liked the care of the team, the experience and professionalism of the midwives, and the overall experience that I had. I was just telling Heather today that my child's primary care provider told me how every mother who delivered at a birth center with a midwife looks so much more relaxed and healthier than those who delivered at a hospital. And I think this birth center is a great example of that." 🥰
