💙Possible trigger warning💙

There are moments that remind us how vital maternal mental health truly is.

The weeks and months after childbirth can be filled with joy—but they can also bring anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, fear, rage, or feelings that don’t match what a new mother expected. These experiences are more common than many realize, and they are treatable.

To every mother: if you don’t feel like yourself, if you’re struggling, if you’re having frightening thoughts, or if you’re simply surviving instead of living—you deserve care. You deserve to be heard. Asking for help is an act of strength, not failure.

And to my fellow healthcare providers: let’s continue to listen carefully when women tell us something isn’t right. Let’s look beyond “you’re just tired” or “that’s normal.” Let’s ask the extra question. Sit for the extra minute. Believe women when they say they are struggling. Sometimes the most important intervention we provide isn’t a prescription—it’s making someone feel seen, heard, and safe enough to tell us the truth.

As midwives, we care for more than pregnancies and births. We care for women.

May we continue to create spaces where mothers know they can speak honestly without fear of judgment—and where asking for help is met with compassion, urgency, and hope.

💙 If you or someone you love is struggling after having a baby, you are not alone. Help is available, and healing is possible. The first step is reaching out for help.

Teamwork makes the dream work!

It truly takes a village. 🩷
Recently, one of our families experienced a serious medical emergency shortly after welcoming their baby. Because of the care she needed, breastfeeding was no longer possible—but thanks to the incredible generosity of this community, her baby didn’t have to go without breastmilk.
Together, you’ve donated more than 2,000 ounces of breast milk.
Every ounce represents a late-night pumping session, a few extra minutes of washing pump parts, freezer space shared, and a family choosing to help another family. Your kindness has provided nourishment, comfort, and hope during an unimaginably difficult time.
Thank you to every milk donor who answered the call. You are the heart of midwifery, and we are endlessly grateful to be part of a community that shows up for one another. 🩷
Fun fact: Human milk sharing has been part of communities for thousands of years. Long before breast pumps and milk banks existed, families relied on trusted friends, relatives, and wet nurses to help feed babies when a mother couldn’t breastfeed. Today’s screened milk donation programs—and generous community donors—continue that tradition of neighbors helping neighbors. 🍼✨

A Letter From Your Midwives 💖
Over the years, we’ve realized there are a lot of misconceptions about what midwifery care looks like—especially in a collaborative, high-risk practice like ours.
Rather than letting others define our philosophy, we wanted to share it with you in our own words.
Whether you’ve been with us for one visit or trusted us through multiple pregnancies, thank you for allowing us to be part of your story. We hope this gives you a better understanding of who we are, how we practice, and why every recommendation we make begins with the same goal: providing compassionate, individualized, evidence-based care.
Thank you for reading—and thank you for trusting your midwives. 💕

Grace writes, "Kelsy helped my baby girl make her big entrance and guided my husband and I through a redemptive, low stress, unmedicated induction! Never thought I would make it far enough to get induced with my second, so induction was not how I imagined it… but Kelsy and my care throughout pregnancy by all the midwives at midcity made the whole experience so much more grounded and less fearful than my first induction elsewhere, with a traditional model of care. Would do it over again 1000/10!"

Do you have a photo or story of you and your Nebraska Nurse-Midwife? We'd love to share!

To the mothers holding babies in their arms,
to the mothers waiting and hoping,
to the mothers grieving quietly,
to the mothers who became mothers through loss, love, fostering, adoption, or healing-we see you today.

Mother's Day can hold so many emotions at once. Joy and ache. Gratitude and longing. Celebration and remembrance.

It is our honor to walk beside people through every chapter of the journey into parenthood and beyond. Today we celebrate the strength, tenderness, resilience, and love that motherhood can carry in all its forms.

Wherever this day finds you, we hope you feel supported, seen, and cared for.

Happy Mother's Day. 💜
