Waiting On A Baby
The call has come, her waters released.
No surges yet, she is encouraged to sleep.
Experience has shown that resting the body & mind will bring progress.
The countdown has begun.
Awakening with the sun,
smiling with the knowledge that she has rested through the night.
She is confused & disheartened.
This is normal.
She is encouraged to have faith that her body and baby are smart. They have information that we do not possess. They are both giving signs that they are healthy and strong.
Trust the process.
It has been a day. She is ready to encourage her baby Earthside. No rush, just a nudge. Within minutes of the midwife’s arrival, it is clear that she feels safe. Surges are starting to come.
And so, we wait on a baby.

This Labor Day brought a long awaited, surprise baby boy! This very special birth was the closure of a full circle with this mama, and we could not have been more honored to be a part of this experience.

Two midwives caring for families means DOUBLE the love; DOUBLE the care;
DOUBLE the brain power; & DOUBLE the joy!
Thanks to this upgrade, we now have openings for November 2024! Visit binahbirth.com/birth to request a complimentary consultation.
As the sun rose on this beautiful day, a strong, powerful, prepared mama delivered the most perfect Father’s Day gift - a perfect baby girl!
It is impossible to put into words the love that was present in their birth space. This special family came to us to plan for a VBAC after a disappointing first birth experience. They invited @abbyjohnsondoula & @mayfieldchiroandhealth to be a part of their journey, and sought support from ICAN of Atlanta. With the support of her husband, she prepared her body & mind for the work ahead. She patiently waited, trusting that her body and baby knew when it was time.
Congratulations to mom, dad, and big sister!

Sometimes we are the worst at caring for ourselves. Thankfully, I have my midwife bestie, Jill @newgenerationmidwifery, to help me out! Today I am getting a vitamin cocktail IV to help kick a mild sinus cold & replenish my stores after a busy birth week.
Hydration and IV vitamin therapy are also available for our clients!
Working on combining my two loves as I begin the @iableorg 2-year Deep Dive breastfeeding medicine course! I’m so excited to be able to provide a greater level of comprehensive care to my clients - especially those with complex situations!

Welcome our newest Binah Baby - Asher Rowan! This “little” guy surprised EVERYONE with his size (check the next pic for details), including his midwife!
This birth was his mama’s 4th, but first VBAC (AND first homebirth) after a cesarean for twin breech preemies 3+ years ago. She overcame a few bumps in the road on the way to birth day, always remaining committed to giving birth the way G-d intended.
After over a month of prodromal labor, this family requested a little nudge toward “real” labor. It didn’t take much to get things going! Asher arrived at 41w1d - the longest pregnancy this mama had experienced!

Congratulations to this sweet family!
“What happens if two moms are in labor at the same time?”
This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Most of the time, the babies work it out and take turns.
On March 13th, around 1:30 AM, as I raced to a 7th time mama, I called Jill of @newgenerationmidwifery to go to this 2nd time family who was just an hour in to active labor. 15 min later, I received a call from dad that her water broke. The next thing I heard was mama exclaiming “She’s coming!”, immediately followed by the strong cry of a healthy newborn! I sent dad to get a towel and called Jill back to let her know the baby had already arrived!
I made it to my 7th time mama and her baby boy flew into this world 90 seconds after I walked in the door - a whole 10 minutes after our first baby arrived!
I’m so thankful for the supportive community of midwives who love on my families when I can’t be there!
While I love my cozy office, some days are spent on the road visiting our newest babies & their families for routine postpartum care and lactation consults. This office comes with a little treat courtesy of a birthday gift from my own mom!

We are hiring!! Our main birth assistant has had to step back & we are looking to add a fresh face to our team!
We would love to add another RN, but we're open to motivated candidates who enjoy having fun & being up at 3 A.M.!
We take up to 4 births per month (avg 2-3) within a 1-hour radius of Lilburn, GA.
Please email us for more information!
Sometimes we have babies who are just very comfortable and, after hitting 42 weeks, the family chooses to give them a little nudge to encourage them to join us Earthside. One of the ways we can do this is by using a breast pump to stimulate oxytocin release. Typically, we do 10 minutes on/10 minutes off x 3 before taking an hour off. When we removed the pump from this first time mama we were ECSTATIC to see how much colostrum she was able to collect!! #liquidgold #colostrum #42weekspregnant #homebirth #informedchoice #momcozys9pro
Looking back at 2023! We are extremely proud that all of our babies were safely born at home, and especially proud that our VBAC success rate was 100%!! We are looking forward to another year of supporting growing families in 2024!

Choosing to give birth at home means committing to actively supporting your body to stay low-risk, becoming educated in the birth process, and building a team that will support you through this transformation. Yesterday, I had the privilege of participating in the birth of a baby boy, along with the birth of a mother, father, tía (aunt), & an abuela (grandmother). The amount of love and joy that surrounded this mother & baby as they worked together … there aren’t words. And as his father exclaimed to his wife in the minutes after catching their son, “[She] is a badass!”
Welcome to the world, Josiah! You are one incredibly blessed little boy!

Research (and generations of families) has shown that midwifery-led prenatal/birth/postpartum care leads to better maternal and infant outcomes. We are extremely proud of the care we are able to provide and the satisfaction our families report with their care!
Although we tend to focus on our happy little homebirth bubble, it is important to stay on top of what is happening in the greater community.
Today, I (Shoshanah) attended the Symposium to Address the Maternal Health Crisis in Atlanta, offered by Research America (ResearchAmerica.org). It was encouraging to hear the desire to focus on building bridges, increasing access to doulas & midwives, and general women’s health. My absolute favorite part of the event was hearing presenters and panelists vocalize the exact words that I wrote in my application essay for midwifery school.
“Support the women and keep them healthy & they will do what they do best - care for their families & communities.”
As we move into an election year, expect to see me encouraging YOU to participate in the fight for better outcomes, starting with BETTER ACCESS to evidence-based birth options. Let’s show the world that the consumers are not going to continue to accept the status quo. YOU have a voice, and we will support you in using it!#midwiferymodelofcare #maternalhealth
