Alma Midwifery

Some notes stay with us long after we’ve read them.

To be trusted with someone’s pregnancy, birth and growing family is a privilege we never take for granted. Reading reflections like these fill our hearts with gratitude.

If you’ve had an experience with Alma and would like to support our work, we’d be grateful if you’d consider leaving us a Google review. Hearing from our community helps other families learn what midwifery care can look and feel like. 💗

Some babies are just born knowing things. This little one came earthside into her Dad’s waiting hands and immediately looked around the room. She is rolling over, cooing, blowing raspberries, grabbed at the midwifery supplies while being weighed and  I swear she waved goodbye to us today at her 6 week visit! It’s not a contest. They all have their perfect pace, we did marvel at this precocious baby though!

You read that right! The uterus grows up to 500x its normal size during pregnancy. That’s like growing from a pear to a watermelon in 9 months.

Dad was fascinated by this incredible feat of nature! Thanks to this wonderful family for letting us share this moment ❤️
