Another AMAZING education event in the books! 📖

We're so grateful to Midwife Kayla for sharing her knowledge of the reproductive issues facing the LGBTQ+ community and families and the resources she provided. May we use what we've learned to create more inclusive practices that serve all types of families in our area year round, not just during Pride Month.

We LOVE our What's Up Wednesdays!

On the second Wednesday of each month our members gather virtually over the lunch hour to discuss relevant topics in the birthworking world. We've talked about doulas in the OR, birth processing, and this month's topic was insurance coverage! We talked about friction we've run into, shared resources on ways to access insurance reimbursement, and brainstormed things that could be helpful to make the process more accessible going forward.

We are grateful for the members that attended this week! If you'd like to hop on to these monthly calls, head over to our website to explore membership options.

Last night's Birth Topic Night: Comfort Measures for Labor class was SUCH a blast! Five couples joined us to learn all about techniques to make their birthing process more comfortable. From birth balls to hip squeezes and aromatherapy to mood lighting, so many tools were added to their birth toolkit!

We're so thankful we're able to offer this free monthly class to our community members. If you know anyone who is expecting, send them our way for our next class on Tuesday, June 9th from 6:30-8 PM at the Minnesota Birth Center in Saint Paul. Pre-registration is not required but very appreciated at the Eventbrite link in our bio.

Happy birthing!
