Some babies are just born knowing things. This little one came earthside into her Dad’s waiting hands and immediately looked around the room. She is rolling over, cooing, blowing raspberries, grabbed at the midwifery supplies while being weighed and  I swear she waved goodbye to us today at her 6 week visit! It’s not a contest. They all have their perfect pace, we did marvel at this precocious baby though!

Practicing what we preach! 💪

The Alma midwives + team members have been putting in the work! Whether it’s walking, stretching, or cartwheeling like Laura, moving your body is essential. This is especially true during pregnancy!

If you’re looking for some prenatal workouts our friend has some great yoga resources on her page.

Happy moving 🏃‍♀️

You read that right! The uterus grows up to 500x its normal size during pregnancy. That’s like growing from a pear to a watermelon in 9 months.

Dad was fascinated by this incredible feat of nature! Thanks to this wonderful family for letting us share this moment ❤️

Just discharged a new family of three this morning, out in to this gloriously blooming spring scene.

How long do people stay after birthing at Alma? Most people are ready to leave 4-8 hours after birth. They are eager to get home to their own beds. We come to you for a home visit the next day and on day 3-4 postpartum. You can reach us 24/7 for questions in those early, tender new baby days.

Birds are singing, flowers blooming, a beautiful baby to gaze upon and kind words from a happy postpartum parent! A very good afternoon at Alma Midwifery.
