Hey you ✨

If you are freshly postpartum we would love to see you at this meet up!

We will primarily focus on these first postpartum weeks, the transition to motherhood, returning to work, and navigating these early newborn days with your newest little loves. 💕

This will be a safe place to share the highs and lows of this new phase of life and make connections with other local mothers 💫

☔️ In the chance of rain we will plan to meet at Redhorn on Scottsdale instead. ☔️

We would love to see your face! 💛

We are so overwhelmed with awe and pride for this amazing woman and her family.

Birth asks for surrender 🤲🏽
Birth asks that we dig deep 🪴 Birth asks that we go further than we thought imaginable ✨

Only then can you reach down and bring your baby to your chest for the first time.

She. Did. It. All.

Kristi we are so proud of you and so honored to have walked through this pregnancy with you!

Texas midwife things 🤍

Welcome baby boy! You’re so loved, but by golly you made your parents work so hard.

A proud big sister. Past 1 am and she didn’t want to leave her mama’s side. Was holding a lamp to make sure everyone could see properly, with occasional breaks from focusing on proper lighting, to gently caress the curls of her little sister. 🥹😭 my heart.

The whole prenatal period she would sit next to her mom, help with the tape measure, turn the Doppler on, and wipe away the doppler gel. So sweet to see her sharing the love and tender care that had been poured into her to a new member of her family. We love love love to have the honor of witnessing these precious, tender moments. 🤍

Fortuna is so excited to welcome our first student.

A little introduction from Alyssa. My name is Alyssa Anderson, and I’m an NRP Certified student midwife. I grew up in northeast Texas, in a little town called Longview. After high school I moved to Austin where I met my husband 5 years ago. We live in Liberty Hill with our two sons Isaac and Judah where we spend our time playing monster trucks and learning about optimal laboring positions for shoulder Dystocia.

We look forward to welcoming her into the birth world. She will be joining us for clinics and births!

For all of our clients due for a PAP!
Join us for a Well Woman exam day. On Thursday January 12th or Thursday January 26th. Contact us to schedule. Treats will be provided as well as a fun pin from !

If you don’t say “ooooooh big yawn!” did it even happen??

Another sweet postpartum visit. ✨
This Mama worked so hard to bring her little one into the world and was so well supported by her partner. We feel so honored to have walked with you through pregnancy and have watched you birth your little one with such power and determination.

Welcome to the world sweet one!
💕

Fortuna welcomed a special little boy on Christmas Day. He has two excited big brothers. The evening ended with the family tucked in bed, and watching home alone 2.

Postpartum + Newborn visit for this wide eyed beauty and her Mama 💛

Every time, these babies take my breath away. When you look at a new babe, you will see a wisdom that cannot be taught or learned. One that we are all born with and live our lives learning to listen to.

Miss Mila, your midwives adore you! Thank you for the snuggles and for reminding me today of the inborn wisdom and magic that we possess ✨

I guess you could say it was a good clinic day around here. Loved snuggling this smiling boy and chatting about postpartum life with his sweet Mama! 💛

This little guy was all relaxed at his 2 week visit.

Cheers! 🥂 celebrating our first year, our amazing clients + sweet babies, the support of our dear ones, and our friendship!

Grateful for each of you. Clients and families. Thank you for trusting us and allowing us the privilege to be your midwives. 🥂

Grateful for the central Texas Midwives. Y’all’re a supportive powerhouse that has helped us, and stepped up 110% when we needed support. Your hearts and attitude is more appreciated than you know.

Grateful for the amazing hospital staff we can transfer to when needed. NAMC and SDMC have shown themselves to be supportive, kinda care providers yet again.

Grateful for the chiropractors, herbalist, doulas that help make our clients lives better. 🤍

Happy Thanksgiving.

With all the love,

Jess and Victoria

My favorite home visits are the ones where furry siblings attend.

World’s Goodest Boy Award 🥇

Not the happiest camper at his 6 week visit. Probably too much partying for his older brother’s birthday week. 🎈

Going to miss seeing this family for their visits. Was a joy and honor to be their midwives. 🤍

Sweet baby belongs to: .ashlynn

Sweet Jax here for his 6week visit today! Big guy weighed in at 13 # 4 oz! He and his Mama are doing so well and we will miss our frequent visits with them so much!

Well, hello. Welcomed this sweet one early last week. His mom was so strong and birthed so beautifully. Following her body the whole way. 🤍

One week since this absolute dreamy birth ✨
We walked in to Mama laboring quite serenely but clearly heading towards transition. We made quick work of setting up the tub and helped her get in. Just barely an hour later she calmly and gently birthed her baby in the water. A quiet, incredibly alert baby girl. Miss Aviva we are so happy that you are here. 💗

The sweetest birth this morning. ✨
So proud of this wonderful family! Such an honor to care for you and watch you welcome your son with such joy. 💛

Something extra cool- this boy was born completely en caul!

Fortuna Midwifery will be hosting a postpartum motherhood circle next Wednesday, September 21 at 2 pm. Bring all your questions, best new tips and tricks, and find community with us! Babes and older siblings are welcome. See you there! 💛

This morning’s birth still has my heart soaring. Her contractions came on swiftly as she drove her daughter to school. She messaged us at 7:30 AM and she had a baby in her arms three hours later. The trust this Mama had in herself and the way she followed her body’s cues to bring her baby earthside was so inspiring.

Happy Birthday baby Dakota! ✨✨✨

Thank you for sharing your beautiful birth with us! I am so glad I shouted at you from across the street when you were pregnant with your first babe and I was freshly postpartum with my second. (Lonely in 2020 and I right??) 😂

Such an honor to be your midwife and a blessing to be your friend.
💛 Jess
angela.hayes ✨ Home birth ✨

I knew it would be special but I didn’t know how much it would mean to me. I started having contractions at 2:17am and had this beautiful boy in my arms at 8:57am.

I felt so safe, loved, and supported by and my entire pregnancy, labor, and even now in this postpartum phase. was the best birth partner and support a girl could ask for.

I am totally amazed and thankful for how God made our bodies to nourish, grow, and birth babies. 💛💛💛

Two weeks ago two Fortuna families had babies 10 minutes apart! In our dream world Victoria and Jess attend births together, but this day we got to utilize the wonderful midwifery community we have for extra hands at each birth. This was such a fun day! Happy two weeks little loves! 💛

Pomegranates

I found these outside The Little Taj in Agra. Surrounded by beautiful jasmine, gently closed in by the Yamuna River. Their beauty stands alone.

Pomegranates hold so much nostalgia for me. Some of my earliest childhood memories are of driving down a gravel road lined with pomegranate trees in the Texas blackland. This road belong to special childhood grandparent figures. They would allow us to collect this beautiful fruit and would share stories of growing up in rural Texas, being Czech immigrants, farming, serving as missionaries in Mexico, and even surviving polio. When I think of this fruit I remember the adventures of childhood and the love and strength that this family represented to me. They were a major influence in my love for traveling and culture. I’m so thankful they were a part of my life.

I learned later on that pomegranate is an ancient symbol of fertility, sanctity, and abundance revered for the beauty of its shrub, flowers, and fruit. They have held significant meaning in Greek, Islam, Buddhist, Christian, and Jewish cultures for generations.

It really blew my mind when Jessica created our website and our logo and she chose a pomegrante,
One of our first home visits our client had a tapestry that she painted of pomegranates hanging on her wall. I love that when I see it I think of my precious childhood memories, my practice, and life’s abundance.
