Imagine that you are in your bedroom surrounded by your love ones. The room is dimly light by fairy lights and candles that smell like lavender. You have affirmation quotes all around your head. Your contractions are getting stronger and closer together. You tell your significant other to call the midwife! The midwife arrives and tells you that you are doing an amazing job! She tells you to listen to your body. So, you listen and let your body and baby take over. You make loud roars as you feel baby descend down. Then, the midwife tells you to reach down to feel your baby's head. You choke up and find the courage to push one more time. Next, you feel baby laying on your beasts, looking right at you. In that moment, nothing else matters. 

I recently came across an article written by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel with the headline stating: "More Wisconsin Families are choosing to give birth at home or with midwives. Here's why." I found this to be really interesting as the article stated that over the last couple of years, the rise of home birth or families choosing to have midwives as their provider has gone up 22%! Even more interesting, I had several clients reach out to me asking which midwives in their area supported home births just days after that article came out!

Here is a list of midwives in the Central WI area that support home births!

In the Beginning, Iola, WI

Windy Hill Midwifery, Merrill, WI

Footprints in Time Midwifery, Greenwood, WI
