If you ever peek over the shoulder of a midwife who is scrolling through her phone in the hours or days following a birth, you are very likely to see a picture of a placenta. Midwives LOVE placentas - they are these miraculous organs that we grow to sustain and protect our babies. They know they are temporary, and so they are released from us when they receive the signal that they are no longer needed. Unless there is a medical reason, we don’t rush the birth of the placenta. The signals it receives as the flow of blood returning from the baby starts to diminish are SO important. The placenta not only gets the message that its job is complete, but it empties and becomes smaller & easier to birth. Once the placenta is released, the pregnancy is finally complete. Both mama and midwives take a deep breath. In our practice, the placenta (still attached to the baby) is placed in a bowl or bag next to mom. Wherever baby goes, the placenta goes with them until the family is ready to cut the cord. Then comes our favorite part - exploring it together! We give the parents, siblings, and whoever is interested a tour of “baby’s first penthouse.” We talk about any variations we may have known about during pregnancy or find during our exam, all the parts, pieces, and the cord. If they are curious, we encourage them to touch it. What happens to the placenta after this is determined by the family - there are a lot of options (a topic for another day)! Thank you to @theshiremothersam for the beautiful placenta prints she gifted to us. They were made from one of recent baby’s first home! 💜

This past week brought a very redemptive birth - for everyone involved. 18 months ago, on my 40th birthday, I (Shoshanah) transferred a 1st time mama to the hospital for a well-deserved epidural. I had been with her for the majority of 4.5 days, trying to encourage her baby to be born since she was over 42 weeks. The transfer was disappointing for everyone, but the family was still able to have a good birth experience. When she returned to us with her second baby, we were all hopeful things would be different this time. Someone must have prayed REALLY hard! She went into spontaneous labor at 38w1d - a full month earlier than she had her first baby! Jill was out of town, I called @kindredbirthwithruth to join us, since she had assisted at the family’s first birth. I firmly believe that the people who are meant to be at a birth will be there, and everyone at this one felt that way about the team reuniting. I sat back and watched this mama tap deeply into her instincts. Her movements lined up with the position of her baby and what he needed to navigate his way out. She ate & drank, her husband held her up physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Her doula supported them both, helping with positioning activities, bringing nourishing foods, learning to work the Polaroid camera (and getting some really great photos), and making sure I was updated with any big changes when I stepped away for a couple hours to nap. Ruth brought extra hands and a spiritual energy that helped this family feel spiritually seen in the harder moments. We sang over this mama as she wept in the pool - the intensity an overwhelming sensation. Story continued in the comments ⬇️

2024 was our 3rd full year as a practice! Here are the highlights: +36 babies welcomed +5 repeat families, including one who welcomed a little one with us for a THIRD time! + ALL of our families who planned HBAC/VBACs successfully reached their goals! + 23 families experienced the care of homebirth midwives for the first time. Four of those families were welcoming their first child. + Our transfer rate for clients in labor was 8.9%, and all of those were for maternal exhaustion in first-time moms. + We welcomed our first breech baby (also one of our VBACs)! And most importantly, we welcomed Jill to our team! We are looking forward to an amazing (and busy) year! One of our January babies decided to come in 2024, but there are 34 already on our schedule through August! #binahbabies #homebirth #communitybasedbirth #midwiferycare #certifiednursemidwife #certifiedprofessionalmidwife #informedchoice

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. ~ Shoshanah #midwifemylife #homebirth #informedchoice #variationofnormal #certifiednursemidwife
