Stunning photo that really captures what I perceive to be the raw power of this woman. So much yes!

To all the mothers out there who have been pushed beyond where we thought we could go...

Amazing shot of a lovely birth option!

I think all new moms can relate to this! Those middle of the night feedings can be sweet and poignant. But they can also be incredibly lonely and discouraging. Imagine if a friend showed up to hang out in the middle of the night! What a gift!

New info on home-birthing! Short, thorough, and super helpful if you're planning a home birth and getting flack from friends or family about it being unsafe.

Sharing this important day with so much love in my heart for all the parents out there who have lost a little one.

I love how re-framing this really brings to light all that we do.

It's true! September is always busy!

This is a groundbreaking study that shows how the personalized care offered by midwives can help improve outcomes for mothers and babies in states where midwife...ry isn't integrated. We are proud that one of our local midwives and UBC prof, Saraswathi Vedam, is the lead on the study. There have been many studies showing that midwives make a significant impact to maternal and newborn mortality in the developing world, but now we can see this similar impact in North America. #bcmidwives #ubcmidwifery #midwivessavelives https://www.propublica.org//midwives-study-maternal-neonat
