CURRENTLY THE PUBLIC CAN MAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS ABOUT THE PROPOSED CHANGES! WE NEED YOU TO WEIGH IN! 🎤
➡️ Submit your public comment to this email address:

Below is a sample public comment you may copy, paste, and adapt.
“I am a midwifery client here in Texas, and writing in regard to the proposed revisions to the Informed Choice and Disclosure Statement for Licensed Midwives as discussed in the Midwives Advisory Board meeting on Jan 13th (Agenda Item G).
I support transparency and informed choice in maternity care.
I am concerned about the proposed requirement for midwives to explain personal financial responsibility related to malpractice. As a consumer, this information would not help me make safer or better decisions about my care. Instead, it could create unnecessary fear or confusion at an already vulnerable time in pregnancy.
The proposed revisions significantly expand the Informed Choice and Disclosure Statement in ways that go beyond what is mandated in statute. I respectfully ask that this form remain focused on health, safety, and care options rather than on my provider’s personal financial situation.”
You only need to submit one comment, but more are always welcome.
Please share with your friends who use midwives!
Every comment matters. Every voice helps shape the future of midwifery in Texas. By speaking up now, we protect informed choice, preserve the integrity of the midwifery model of care and ensures that future policies truly serve families and midwives alike.

![I think sometimes people imagine home birth is just lighting a candle and hoping for the best. (I mean, we love a good candle, but there’s a lot more to it!)
One of the best parts of midwifery is that you get the clinical standard of care but delivered in a way that actually honors your space and your pace.
Low-risk home birth care includes the same “stats” as hospital care:
• Standard blood work & labs
• Genetic screening
• Anatomy scans/ultrasounds
• Full newborn clinical exams
The clinical safety is there, and it doesn’t involve fluorescent overhead lights, but maybe a good candle.

![“Anything that disturbs a laboring woman’s
sense of safety and privacy will disrupt the birth process.”
- Dr. Sarah Buckley
There’s a reason it’s called “labor land.” When you’re in labor, your brain is doing some pretty intense behind-the-scenes work. Dr. Sarah Buckley hits the nail on the head here because birth isn’t just physical, it’s deeply hormonal. For those “love hormones” like oxytocin to flow, your body needs to feel completely unobserved and totally safe.
Think about it like this: it’s really hard to let go and be vulnerable if the lights are harsh, the door keeps swinging open, or you feel like you’re being watched. When that “fight or flight” response kicks in even a little bit, it can actually slow things down.
Make sure your birth bubble stays intact.
How are you planning to “set the mood” for your birth space? I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments!

![Who else feels like winging it is a personality trait at this point? 🙋♀️
Whether it’s “cooking” dinner by seeing what’s left in the fridge or showing up to a workout hoping the instructor just tells us what to do, we’ve mastered the art of the pivot. But birth? Birth is the one thing you really don’t want to meet with a “we’ll see what happens” vibe.
While your body possesses a deep, ancient wisdom, your mind needs a roadmap. When we feel stuck or anxious because we don’t know what comes next, labor can actually slow down. Adrenaline is the enemy of oxytocin, friends.
That’s why preparation matters.
A great childbirth class and a dedicated doula are game changers. But it also starts with your provider. When you feel safe and supported, birth flows.
Stop winging the big stuff. Let’s get you prepared, confident, and ready to meet your baby. 🤍

![The whole “home birth is risky” talk is something we have heard a million times, but the actual data tells a completely different story.
When you look at the research for low risk women it turns out that planning a hospital birth often leads to more interventions and complications without actually improving safety for mom or baby. In fact large scale studies show that planning a hospital birth can significantly increase your chances of things like serious bleeding or infection and it makes you more likely to end up with a c-section or an episiotomy.
The study (linked below) even points out that there is no evidence that hospital births are safer for low risk women. Instead we see that home birth drastically reduces the “cascade of interventions” while keeping outcomes just as safe.
Home birth isn’t a trend, but a research backed choice for anyone wanting a physiologic birth.

![You aren’t a student, and birth isn’t a final exam. But unfortunately society has conditioned us to believe that birth is a medical emergency waiting to happen. Or that it is a complex procedure we need to “master.”
Here’s the truth: You don’t need to be taught how to dilate. What you do need is:
• To understand the physiology of how your body works.
• To be in a space where you feel safe and unobserved.
• A team that supports you instead of managing your every move.
My role as a midwife isn’t to give you a play-by-play or tell you when to move. You already have that map inside you.

![Sadly most birth plans are simply a list of basic human rights that clash with standard hospital efficiency.
In the medical model, you are often presenting your plan to a room of strangers who are seeing your desires for the first time while you’re in active labor.
In the Midwifery model:
• Your plan is discussed at every prenatal visit.
• Your midwife knows your fears, your hopes, and your “no-gos” months in advance.
• We don’t “allow” your plan; we protect it.
Did you feel like your birth plan was respected, or was it treated like a “polite suggestion”? Let’s hear your experience below. 👇

![It’s hard to trust a process you’ve never witnessed.
When you choose a provider who is uncomfortable with the “wait and see” nature of true labor, you often end up with:
• Unnecessary time limits.
• Pressure for early induction.
• Interventions “just in case.”
The Midwife Difference:
Physiological birth isn’t something we just “allow” because it is our specialty. Safeguarding the natural process is fundamental to the midwifery model of care.
What “safeguarding” actually looks like:
• Patience: Knowing that labor has its own unique rhythm and doesn’t follow a standardized hospital chart.
• Protection: Creating a space where you feel safe, which allows your hormones (like oxytocin) to flow freely.
• Presence: Watching for the subtle signs of health rather than just waiting for a complication to occur.
• Expertise: Knowing the difference between a “slow” normal labor and a true medical necessity.
Work with an expert who trusts the process as much as you do. Hire a midwife.

![There’s nothing quite like the “blank stare” you get when a provider has to scroll through pages of digital notes just to remember who you are. Pregnancy is one of the most transformative times of your life, and you aren’t just a 15-minute time slot.
Midwifery care differs greatly because our prenatal appointments aren’t just medical check-ins. They are the building blocks of a deep, trusting relationship. We know your story, your fears, and exactly how you want your birth to feel. We remember the names of your older kids. We remember why you were nervous last month. We remember your birth goals without looking at a printout.
When you feel safe and seen, you can labor with confidence. That’s the power of the midwifery model of care.

![When you’re told you have to have a C-section for twins or a breech baby, what they often mean is: “We aren’t trained to support this naturally.”
We’re changing that narrative. We spend hours of our limited free time studying the mechanics, attending advanced skills workshops, and practicing the maneuvers that protect the natural process of birth so that “surgical” isn’t the only option on the table.
Whether it’s your first baby or your VBAC, you deserve a team that is constantly improving for YOU.

![If you knew me, you’d know this…
Birth is not something to control or rush through.
It is something to protect.
Every woman deserves care that honors her autonomy, her intuition, and her strength. Care that is rooted in evidence, shaped by experience, and grounded in trust.
My own births changed me. They taught me how powerful women truly are and why being seen and supported matters so deeply.
My role is simple and sacred.
To walk beside you.
To hold space.
To remind you of what your body already knows.
You are not meant to do this alone. 🤍

![One of the most common questions we get is how we keep a close eye on you and baby while you’re tucked away in the birth pool. The good news is that we can provide all the safety and monitoring of a typical birth without ever needing you to leave your happy place!
We use a special waterproof Doppler to listen to baby’s heart rate right under the water. It’s simple, non-invasive, and lets us hear that beautiful rhythm while you stay relaxed. Along with checking on baby, we stay right by your side to monitor your vitals, like your pulse and blood pressure, using our standard equipment.
The warm water is incredible for offering natural pain relief, but our priority is always a safe delivery. We monitor both of you very closely throughout the process. If we ever feel we need more frequent monitoring or if things get a bit more complex, we might ask you to step out of the pool for a little while.
We’re here to protect the peace of your birth space while ensuring you and your baby are safe and sound every step of the way. 🤍

![You trusted your body when it grew a whole human.
You trusted it through nausea that didn’t quit.
Through heartburn that burned.
Through hips that ached and nights that never ended.
You trusted your body when it expanded, shifted, adapted, and carried life.
But somehow, the moment labor begins, we allow doubt to set in.
Labor is not where trust should disappear.
It’s where trust matters most.
Here’s the truth no one says clearly enough:
The body that carried your baby is the same body that knows how to birth them.
Save this.
Share it with the woman who needs the reminder before she gives birth.

![How can you practice right now? By using your body differently during pregnancy.
That can look like:
Swaying your hips while you cook or brush your teeth.
Leaning into your partner and letting your weight be held.
Practicing slow, low breaths during moments of stress.
Softening your jaw when you notice tension.
Letting your body move instead of staying still.
These don’t need to be formal or scheduled.
They’re small, repeatable moments that teach your body how to release instead of brace.
When labor begins, your body won’t need instructions.
It will recognize what to do.
Practice doesn’t make labor perfect, but it makes it familiar.
Tell me: What can you do today to practice for labor?

Your body takes the lead.
Your instincts kick in.
You move, breathe, sway, groan, rest, and rise in ways you could never plan for.
And yes, there may be moments when you need a pep talk. A reminder to breathe. Someone to steady the room when things feel big. That doesn’t mean you’re lost. It means you’re human. It means you’re doing the work.
You don’t need to have every answer ahead of time.
You just need support that keeps you centered when your mind starts to drift into fear. That’s what good midwifery care does. It doesn’t take over your birth. It helps you stay connected to yourself so you can do what only you can do.

• We listen the first time.
• We learn your fears and your goals.
• We build a foundation of trust and understanding.
By the time you’re in labor, we don’t need a reminder, because we know exactly what you want and, more importantly, what you absolutely don’t want.
Ready to ditch the broken-record feeling and finally feel seen, heard, and prioritized?

![Have you ever really stopped to think about how wild the placenta really is?
It pulls in oxygen, nutrients, antibodies, and sends out what your baby doesn’t need. Two totally separate blood supplies, working in sync, without ever mixing, sort of like a revolving door.
No organ in your body multitasks like this one.
It starts as a handful of microscopic cells and ends up weighing about a sixth of your baby’s weight. It rewires your spiral arteries so the blood flow can keep up. And by the time your baby is born, about 30 percent of her total blood volume is still circulating in that cord.
So yes, waiting for that cord to finish pulsing matters. A lot. You wouldn’t want to walk away without a third of your blood, and neither should your baby.
Pretty incredible for an organ you grow from scratch.

![There’s something about pregnancy that brings out everyone’s opinions, especially if you’re planning a home birth. Suddenly everyone is an expert except the woman actually having the baby.
But here’s the truth you might be avoiding:
Pregnancy is one of the most powerful chances you’ll ever have to stop people pleasing and start finding your voice.
Your voice matters. Your wishes matter. And you’re allowed to want a birth that aligns with your values, not someone else’s fears or opinions.
If you’ve been shrinking yourself to keep other people comfortable, this is your sign to stop.
You get one chance to have this birth. Make it yours.
Send a message and let’s talk about what you want your birth to look like.

![There’s something different about settling into your own bed after you’ve just brought your baby earthside. The house is quiet. The world feels smaller. And you’re not being rushed or shuffled or told what to do next. It’s just you, your baby, and that wave of relief that finally hits once the room softens again.
At home, those first moments get to be slow. Skin-to-skin lasts as long as you want. Bonding isn’t interrupted. You don’t have to hand your baby over. You’re not fighting to be heard. You get to exhale and actually be in the moment.
If you’re craving care that honors the whole experience, not just the outcome, you’re in the right place. 🤍

![Children don’t need birth hidden from them.
They need to see what’s normal. What’s safe. What’s powerful.
Having kids involved in a home birth isn’t as chaotic as one may think.
It is full of connection.
It’s excitement.
It’s a front-row seat to watching their mom do something wild and beautiful.
And here’s the truth:
Kids who grow up seeing physiological birth don’t grow up fearing it.
They grow up understanding it.
They grow up respecting women’s bodies.
They grow up knowing that birth isn’t a crisis, but a normal process.
Inside our care, families get to choose how involved their children are. Some want them to help. Some want them in and out. Some wait for the moment baby arrives.
There’s no right or wrong…
just what feels right for your family.

![Dads play a quiet, powerful role in home birth.
Supporting fathers means helping them feel confident, present, and cared for—from preparing together, to staying calm and involved during labor, to nurturing their bond with baby afterward.
Prepare in advance
• Attend childbirth classes together to build confidence and calm
• Discuss his role and your birth plan
• Know what to expect during labor
• Consider hiring a doula who can support him too
Support during the birth
• Stay calm and grounded
• Help create a soothing environment (lighting, music, comfort items)
• Let him be hands-on: hold hands, offer back rubs, help with positioning
• Communicate clearly with the midwife and your partner
Nurture postpartum
• Encourage skin-to-skin and one-on-one bonding with baby
• Encourage him to take care of his own needs—rest, eat, move, and recharge
• Share parenting duties to build confidence and connection
• Ask for help if emotions feel heavy
When dads are supported, everyone benefits: the partner, the baby, and the whole family.

![There’s one instinct in labor that changes everything: laboring down.
⠀
Hitting 10cm doesn’t always mean it’s time to push. Your body continues to work, and your uterus keeps moving baby down even without your help. When you wait for that natural urge to push, you give your body (and your baby) the best chance for a smoother birth.
⠀
That means less tearing, less exhaustion, fewer interventions, and a shorter active pushing phase.
⠀
This is one of the many ways midwives support physiologic birth. You’re never rushed, but always supported. Your body leads, and we follow.

![Here’s what the research actually says 👇
In a study of over 7,600 births, those attended by midwives had lower cesarean rates (8.9% vs 15.2%) — even when factoring in mixed-risk pregnancies. Midwifery care was also linked to fewer inductions, fewer operative deliveries, and lower rates of severe maternal complications.
So no, midwives do not equal riskier outcomes. They’re for women who want evidence-based, individualized care that respects the natural process of birth, and still knows when intervention is truly needed.
The takeaway? When birth is supported instead of managed, outcomes improve.

Seriously. Midwifery is the original way to care for mothers, and it’s the best way.
We are not a “trend” or a “niche.” We are a profound, historical legacy that puts YOU and your family at the center.
Choosing a midwife is literally choosing the most time-tested, respected model of care in history.

![Your body already knows how to give birth. That wisdom has been written into your design long before this moment. What often stands in the way isn’t your body, but your mind.
We carry stories of fear, trauma, and what birth is “supposed” to look like. But the truth is, when the mind quiets, the body takes the lead. Your uterus contracts without permission. Your cervix opens without instruction. Your baby descends without you having to control the process.
Birth is letting go of the mental blocks that tell you it can’t be done. When your mind steps aside, your body reveals the strength it’s had all along.
