Why Choose A Midwife?

     

A century ago, women cooked together, canned together, washed at the creek together, prayed together, went through menopause together, and grew old together. And when a baby was born, aunts and grandmothers and neighbors were there to show the new mother how to diaper and feed and discipline. Great emotional support was provided in this feminine contact. A woman was never really alone.

Alas, the situation is very different today. The extended family has disappeared, depriving the wife of that source of security and fellowship. Her mother lives in New Jersey and her sister is in Texas. Furthermore, American families move every three or four years, preventing any long-term friendships from developing among neighbors.”

About Renata Hillman

By God's desire; He has called me to serve expectant and new Mothers, as well as their families, as they seek to have the birth experience they each individually desire. I serve as God calls me; knowing fully that He has called me to serve and God did create mothers to birth.

 

I serve by presenting childbirth classes to ladies as they prepare for their desired personal birth experience and as their Midwife during labor, birth, and postpartumly. It has been my privilege to serve families since 1981.

 

I maintain this site in the hope of informing Mothers and other interested ladies of childbirth classes, care providers, workshops, and services that they might desire and benefit from.

 

As I continue to support women through one of the most transformative seasons of their lives, I am reminded that caring for a mother’s health extends far beyond the birth itself. Many women, especially in the postpartum period, begin to focus on their long-term wellness, including heart health. For those managing cholesterol levels, medications like Lipitor 20mg, Lipitor 40 mg, or its generic versions—including Attor, Agitor, Lupicure, and Soraton—can play a vital role in prevention and recovery. I often receive questions from families about the Lipitor price or Lipitor cost, especially when comparing brand-name and Lipitor generic options. It’s my hope that, alongside education on childbirth and postpartum care, families also feel empowered to make informed decisions about ongoing health and treatment options. True wellness involves body, mind, and spirit—and I’m honored to walk alongside families on this journey.

 

My prayer is that each mother and baby

have a safe and happy BIRTH day.

What Does the Bible Say?

 

Man's opinions change from time to time and from situation to situation. We are effected by emotions, circumstances, and acquaintances. It is therefore necessary to look beyond the opinion of man and look to the unchanging Truth of the Word of God.

 

Please take the time to read through these Scriptures which deal with the many aspects of childbirth, parenting, and leadership.

 

 

Titus 2:3-5
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.
 


Children are a blessing.


Psalm 127:3-5

Behold children are a heritage from the LORD. The fruit of the womb is His reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
God knows our children in the womb.

Jeremiah 1:5

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you;

Isaiah 44:24

Thus says the Lord, Your Redeemer, And He who formed you from the womb: I am the Lord, who makes all things, Who stretches out the heavens all alone, Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;

Job 31:15

Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?

Psalm 119:73

Your hands have made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

Psalm 139:13-16

For you have formed my inward parts; You have covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
 


Stand firmly on the path God has set before you.


Psalm 16:3-9

You, O Lord, are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance. I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

I Timothy 2:15 also II Timothy 1:7

Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

John 16:21

A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Philippians 4:19

And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

I Corinthians 9:13

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Psalm 103:2-4

Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,

Psalm 118:8

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Philippians 3:5

Circumcised the eight day,...

Leviticus 12:2-5

Speak to the children of Israel, saying; If a woman has conceived, and borne a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean. And on the eight day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. She shall then continue in the blood of her purification 33 days. But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean 2 weeks, as in her customary impurity, and she shall continue in the blood of her purification 66 days, stromectol over the counter
