"You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out." — Deuteronomy 28:6 ✨

Whether you are coming in for your very first prenatal visit, heading home with your beautiful new baby in your arms, returning for your well woman exam, or attending a class, we want you to feel the profound love, safety, and blessing of this space. 🤍

"The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life." — Job 33:4 ✨

There is absolutely nothing in the world like hearing a baby’s very first cry. That first, big breath of air is a true miracle every single time.

But bringing that miracle into the world is hard work! Tucked away in the corners of our beautiful birthing suites, you will always find our oxygen tanks resting quietly. They are a gentle, standard part of our room setup, ready to offer a laboring mother a refreshing, revitalizing breath of air when she needs to catch her breath, and just as ready to support her baby's precious first breaths if they need a little extra help transitioning into the world.

We are so incredibly honored to support both mother and baby, and to witness these sacred moments at Holy Family! 🤍

Did you know this peaceful little sanctuary is actually a fully equipped clinical monitoring room? Let’s talk about the NST!

What is a Non-Stress Test (NST)? It is a safe, painless assessment we use in the third trimester to monitor your baby's heart rate and movements. It is called "non-stress" because it places zero physical stress on you or your baby!

While not every mother will need one, we typically utilize an NST if you go past your due date (40+ weeks) to ensure baby is still thriving, if you notice a decrease in baby's movements, or if we just want an extra layer of peace of mind.

You relax on our comfortable lounge while we secure two soft belts around your waist. One measures the baby's heart rate, and the other measures any uterine activity. You get to rest, and we get the clinical data we need to ensure your baby is healthy and ready for birth.

We absolutely love providing this secure, peaceful, and fully prepared space for our community. ✨

Before Sister Angela Murdaugh, the freestanding birth center model as we know it had to be fought for. And she led the charge, not just in Texas, but across the entire country.

There was a time when true, empowered, community-based midwifery was pushed into the shadows. Women, especially those in rural and border communities like the Rio Grande Valley, were caught in a healthcare system that often marginalized their voices and treated childbirth strictly as a medical emergency.

Sister Angela didn’t just ask for permission to change things. She changed the laws.

She fought tirelessly for the legislation that made freestanding birth centers possible. She rose to become the President of the American College of Nurse-Midwives, taking her fierce advocacy to the national stage. She proved to the entire country that women deserve safe, holistic, and fiercely respectful care, regardless of their zip code or income.

She didn't just want to open a clinic; she wanted to build a sanctuary. Out of that unwavering vision, Holy Family Services was born, becoming a national blueprint for what maternal healthcare should look like.

But her greatest legacy wasn't just the brick and mortar of our birth center. It was the power she delivered back to women. She didn't just catch babies; she taught mothers how to fiercely trust their own bodies. She didn't just practice midwifery; she cultivated it. She turned Holy Family into a sacred training ground, teaching and raising up new midwives who would go on to carry this beautiful, empowering model of care to communities across the globe.

As we step into a new chapter and navigate the future of Holy Family, we are looking back at our roots. We are reminding ourselves, and the world, exactly who we are and where we came from. We are breathing fresh life into the exact mission Sister Angela started over 40 years ago: to provide fierce, loving, uncompromising care, and to empower through education.

The revolution she started isn't over. It is just getting ready for its next 40 years.

Did you know we offer Nitrous Oxide at Holy Family Services? 💙

One of our core beliefs is that you should feel completely empowered and supported throughout your labor. While our primary focus is on natural comfort measures like waterbirth and continuous support, we know that every labor is unique. That’s why we offer Nitrous Oxide as an optional tool for pain relief, available only if a mother wants it.

You control it yourself by breathing through a small mouthpiece during a contraction. It helps ease the intensity of labor and greatly reduces anxiety, allowing you to catch your breath and refocus. Best of all, it clears your system in seconds!

Having this option available means you have one more resource in your comfort toolbox.

We encourage your family to be with you every step of the way. From letting little hands listen to heartbeats, to celebrating a partner’s first look at their baby, we want you all here.
