Rooted & Rising: Postpartum Fellowship

Bailey Baldwin • March 2, 2026

Community for new mamas after Jesus’ heart.

We share stories, scripture and support.

Jesus wants us to have community. We are not made to walk alone—in our faith journey, in our motherhood, and in life. We are excited to join together mamas searching for more within this incredible life transition. This will be a safe space to share and learn from one another—a place to find encouragement from other believers who want to walk alongside you in faith.

We’ll have loose topics to get the conversation flowing, but there are no off‑limits subjects. Motherhood is messy and challenging, and there are answers and hope within God’s Word. He knows what we need, and He wants us to ask for it. When we gather, we will say a “Praise and Prayer” to recognize the ways God is moving in your life and to ask for help in any way you need. We know the value of being together, and we want to provide support for you.

We will meet bi‑monthly for postpartum fellowship for mamas who are looking to develop community, deepen their relationship with Jesus, and receive prayer and encouragement.

Morning option: Mile City Church 54899 Eight Mile Rd. Northville/Lyon, MI 48167 on Tuesday, March 23rd at 10:30am.

We would love to see you there. If you are interested in more information or have any questions, please reach out via email to baileyandgaildoula@gmail.com

Hormones in Labor

By Bailey Baldwin • May 3, 2024

Labor involves a cascade of hormones. These hormones, when the birthing person remains calm and feels safe, can create a smooth labor process. The birth team and environment can support this by helping the birthing person feel loved, cared for. When fear creeps in, the catecholamines work in opposition to the oxytocin. The catecholamines can come from many things like unresolved fears or concerns, a strange environment, past trauma, a change in circumstance. Also of note, when labor is induced or augmented with a synthetic form of oxytocin, like Pitocin, the body may experience an increased pain sensation. Since the Pitocin was not produced by the body, it does not cross the blood brain barrier in the same way. This affects how the body responds with endorphins, which may lead to a need for increased external pain relief. Birth is unpredictable, but the innate trust in the birthing person's abilities, the birth process and the support of the birth team can lead to incredible experiences.
