Pregnancy can bring a lot of questions, and you deserve care that feels steady, connected, and truly personal. Village 360’s Birthworks offers something different: a midwife podcast centered on practical tips, shared wisdom, and grounded support from people who understand the experience of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

Hosted by the team at Rainier Valley Birth & Health Center, this show explores your pregnancy journey through stories from midwives, providers, and parents. We talk about maternal wellness, mental health in pregnancy, and how community-based midwifery can shift outcomes for families who are often overlooked.

At the heart of this show is Village360, a model of care built around trust, access, and the power of community. You’ll hear from midwives, doulas, and parents offering tangible pregnancy tips, honest reflections, and practical parenting support. We also dig into topics like basic health recommendations, birth options, and what it takes to feel truly supported during one of life’s biggest transitions.

If you're seeking midwifery care that meets you where you are and providers who listen, you're in the right place. This is care by your community, for your community.

This is Village 360’s Birthworks.

  • Informed Consent and Pregnancy Care: Brittany Ferguson on Asking Better Questions
    2026/05/22

    Pregnancy brings constant choices, and too often those choices are shaped by fear, pressure, or limited healthcare access instead of real understanding. When you are trying to make thoughtful medical decisions, it matters to know your voice still belongs in the room.

    In this episode of Village360’s Birthworks, I’m joined by Brittany Ferguson, a midwife whose approach to pregnancy care is rooted in trust, relationship, and personal agency. We talk about what it means to practice informed consent in real time, especially when medical decisions feel heavy, rushed, or hard to question.

    For expectant parents looking for steady midwife support, this conversation opens the door to a more grounded birth experience, a deeper understanding of reproductive health, and the kind of community resources that can make healthcare access feel more human.

  • When Birth Plans Don’t Go As Expected: How to Navigate Unexpected Birth Changes Safe Hospital Transfer Without Losing Your Voice
    2026/04/15

    When you’re choosing a birth center, you deserve to know exactly how the team handles those 'every second counts' moments without losing sight of your informed consent. Prioritizing birth center safety before labor begins ensures you are prepared for any turn the journey takes.

    A hospital transfer doesn't mean losing your voice; in fact, the right approach actually reduces clinical strain on the medical staff and creates a much higher level of safety for you and your baby.

    Today, I walk you through the practical realities behind the 71% surge in home births since 2016 and exactly how that shift is reshaping the maternal health landscape for all of us. This growth is a cultural shift that demands a shift in our medical systems too.

    We cover the importance of birth plans for both intended and transfer scenarios, the necessity of provider collaboration between midwives and doctors, the reality of patient rights in a high-pressure environment, and how to maintain physiological birth principles even when a pivot is required.

    Strong labor support and active birth advocacy are the keys to maintaining your leadership in the birthing room. So, if you are looking for a safe and empowered outcome using clear communication and partnership, this episode is not to be missed.
