It’s true midwife’s can catch a baby in any position. When at home it’s not just about laboring in what ever position you want. As long as it’s working you can push you baby out in any position.

In 2025 babies came out in a few different positions:
50% in hands in knees
25% on the birth stool
13% on the toilet
11% on their backs

The Newborn Exam 👶
After a baby is born and things have had time to settle I do a head to toe check of baby including measurements and the most fun weigh in. (Peep those tiny feet) 👣
I love when everyone takes guesses on weight, any accuracy I one had is now out the window carrying around a toddler all the time!
This is generally a short peaceful process for baby then right back to breastfeeding! 🤱

Preparing for the postpartum period can be overwhelming and stressful.
A consultation with me can help you get yourself on track and set up to have an enjoyable postpartum time.

I can answer questions, guide you, and even send you to some very valuable resources.

As a midwife I spend 6 weeks with families after a baby is born and I have learned a thing or two about prepping to keep your head above water.

My personal and professional expertise in postpartum has created an abundance of knowledge to help out!

Even if you are having a hospital birth I can help, even if you have already given birth and you are in the thick of postpartum recovery I can help!
Reach out to set up a meeting!
