GOD’S DESIGN


WOMAN CENTERED SUPPORT

Faith-Based, Woman-Honoring Birth Support

At Cardinal Birth, we provide more than support—we offer a God-centered pregnancy journey rooted in faith, trust, and unwavering presence. We honor the divine design of pregnancy and birth, helping you make fully informed decisions in a space of love, prayer, and advocacy.

With 10 births of her own and years of experience serving families, our founder and her support team offer non-clinical, traditional birth guidance for those seeking a path aligned with Biblical principles and ancestral wisdom. Whether you desire a single consultation or full-spectrum support, we walk beside you as you steward your birth according to God’s plan and your convictions.

Legal Notice: We are not licensed medical providers and do not offer medical services. Under Pennsylvania law, including proposed legislation SB507, the practice of midwifery without a state-issued license may be criminalized—even in cases where no clinical procedures are performed. Our work is rooted in faith, education, and tradition—not medicine.

 


What to Expect

Traditional Midwifery Care

We offer the full scope of traditional midwifery care, as expected by national direct-entry midwifery standards—even though Pennsylvania does not currently recognize unlicensed midwives under law.

This includes:

Prenatal Care

  • Routine pregnancy monitoring: fundal height, fetal heart tones, position, vitals

  • Lab access and interpretation: bloodwork, urinalysis, Group B Strep, etc.

  • Discussion of clinical findings with functional insight and informed options

  • Nutritional and lifestyle counseling to support healthy pregnancy outcomes

  • Respect for informed refusal, religious conviction, and parental authority

Birth Attendance

  • In-home or private space support, tailored to your needs

  • Presence throughout active labor, birth, and immediate postpartum

  • Emergency readiness: hemorrhage response, neonatal support, escalation protocols

  • No coercion, no hospital clock, no interference with physiological birth

  • Water birth setup available

Postpartum & Newborn Support

  • Home visits for maternal recovery and baby bonding

  • Newborn observation and assessment: tone, temperature, nursing, reflexes

  • Breastfeeding support, maternal wellness, and functional recovery guidance

  • Traditional placenta preparation available

  • Birth certificate & Social security card filing

  • Newborn screenings

⚠️ Legal Status (SB507 Update)
We are not licensed by the state of Pennsylvania. Under proposed legislation (SB507), all midwifery care outside licensure may be criminalized—regardless of training, community need, or parental choice.

We continue to serve in full integrity under traditional midwifery standards, with transparency and reverence. You have the right to choose who attends your birth.
