At Authentic, we love student midwives and what they bring to the practice. 🤍

Leah is a unique student midwife here, as she has real-life experience with births in every suite at Authentic... as the mom! Leah had four of her children with Authentic, and experienced first-hand the high quality of care. ✨

She found that giving birth at Authentic helped her schooling; in fact, her experiences are what inspired her to go into this career path. 👶

Now a student at Midwives College of Utah, we're so glad Leah found her way back to Authentic!

Authentic Baby #1488 was welcomed into the family with joy and thankfulness. Mom trusted the perfect design of birth, Dad gently encouraged her and Baby, and grandmas rejoiced to see the reward of a long day's work. The waters of Sophia Suite welcomed this little one, but not as warmly as Dad's waiting hands. Enjoy your rest under the stars, Sweet Family!✨💕

Authentic Baby #1487 just couldn't wait to meet Mom and Dad! Strong, calm, and determined, this couple was surprised by the twists and turns of labor but took everything in stride. This not-so-little one made their entrance into Mom’s arms, with tears of joy and steady support from Dad. Now they are tucked into Joy; what calm and strength to witness. Welcome to the Authentic family! ✨💕

Baby # 1486 was born in the soothing waters of Serenity Suite into Mom and Dad’s arms.
This sweet family arrived ready to meet their baby. Mom was focused and Dad was by her side for all of it with excitement, empathy and so much emotion. Mom found her way beautifully through the process with support and encouragement and love. Both were overflowing with excitement as they met their little one and they are enjoying peaceful bonding and rest under the stars. ✨ 💕

Media often portrays birth as chaotic, scary, and overwhelmingly painful. 😰

And when that’s the only version of birth you’ve seen, it makes sense that you might feel anxious about what to expect.

But birth can also be calm, grounded, peaceful, and even powerful. 💪

With the right environment, education, and care team, you can begin to trust your body and feel more confident surrendering to the process of welcoming your baby earthside.

That’s why education is such an important part of prenatal care at Authentic. We want you to understand your options, know what’s happening in your body, and feel as prepared and supported as possible as you move toward labor and birth.

Curious about physiological birth or what it looks like at Authentic?

Join us for our next Discover Authentic event on Wednesday, July 1st. We’ll share a presentation on physiological birth, offer a tour of the birth center, and leave plenty of time for your questions.

We’d love to welcome you in. 🤍

Meet Cairiel: one of our midwives and a massage therapist! 🤍

Originally from Chicago, Cairiel moved back to Milwaukee by way of Iowa with her three children. She started out as a doula, and has continued expanding the services she offers to moms to include massage, and most recently, midwifery. 🤰

We love how Cairiel prioritizes relationship building with her clients, and the team just might test out her massage skills for ourselves! 😉

Every mom birthing at Authentic is a candidate for water birth! 💦

We believe in the power of water birth and it’s many benefits to moms in labor, which is why all our midwives are trained in safe water births. 🤍

When in labor, you always have twice as much time to rest in-between contractions as time spent pushing, but it can often be hard to get comfortable during those moments. When laboring in water, it’s easier to get comfortable and switch positions as needed.

We’ve also seen water ease the intensity of labor and minimize the risk of tearing, both of which make enormous differences for moms in labor.

The top question we get about water births is always, “Is it safe?” The easy answer is a resounding, “Yes!”

The important thing to consider is your care team. It’s critical to birth with a team who is trained in water birth safety and understands what to do once baby is born. 👶

If you’re curious about water births, join us at a future Discover Authentic event! We cover our physiological birth philosophy and you get a chance to tour our facility, and see the different tubs in each of our birthing suites.

Authentic Baby #1485 was lifted by Dad’s hands out of the blue waters of Sophia Suite tonight. This powerful first time mom moved gracefully through labor with her husband a steady source of strength beside her. This sweet baby is long anticipated and so loved by Mom and Dad. As this family of three was united earthside, the room paused and time stood still as they discovered every detail of their baby. Welcome to the Authentic Family, and enjoy your snuggles under the stars. ✨ 💕
