One of the most important tools you can have throughout your pregnancy is a provider who will actually listen to you. Unfortunately, this can be hard to find. It seems that so often, doctors have a very copy-and-paste approach to deliveries, cutting out your voice in favor of their preferred methods. If you would rather keep control over your birth experience, Blessings in Birth might just be the practice for you! This Des Moines midwifery practice offers personalized care throughout your pregnancy and delivery. As a Des Moines maternity photographer, I get to bond with a lot of new parents. Here’s why so many have adored Blessings in Birth

About Blessings In Birth

Blessings in Birth is a private practice that is owned and operated by Diana Fern, a midwife who has been working with parents for years. Diana is a mother herself with five–yes, five!–kids of her own. Additionally, she has been assisting births for over 30 years. She combines her lived experience with her professional knowledge to create a customized care plan for all of her clients. She follows the Midwives Model of Care with all her clients, treating birth as a natural event rather than a medical emergency. She is inclusive, accepting low-risk clients of every background to give them their ideal births.

Services

Through Blessings in Birth, Diana works with parents to plan their home births. You will start out with a no-obligation consultation where you can decide if Diana’s style matches your own. If so, you will have regular visits where Diana will check on your progress. She also leaves plenty of time in each appointment to answer your questions and build your birth plan. As you near your due date, she is going to ensure your space is ready for your delivery. If you do want a water birth, she is going to help you with a pool rental. Once labor begins, Diana will be right by your side to assist. She will stay there until after your baby is born to ensure you are on the path to recovery. You will also have postpartum appointments with her in the days and weeks following.

If you have been considering booking placenta encapsulation, she will provide you with this service so you can have high-quality products to support your recovery. She also offers blessing way ceremonies, lactation support, and birth story circles. She will work with you to find a community that will be there for years to come!
