Divine Design Birth Co. was cultivated from both conviction and experience: a deep belief that birth is sacred under God’s intentional design and a personal journey that reshaped how Bailey understands pregnancy and labor. In a culture saturated with fear-based birth narratives, her mission is to meet mothers where fear too often takes root and replace it with truth, preparation, and peace. Through education, encouragement, and steady support, she helps families feel grounded in faith and guided by truth so they can step into birth feeling empowered, supported, and confident as they welcome their miracle into the world. Bailey’s passion for birth work began after her own long and traumatic first labor, when her daughter was born unresponsive and fear filled the room. In God’s mercy, He restored her life - transforming what began in trauma into a testimony of redemption. That moment opened Bailey’s eyes to just how miraculous pregnancy and birth truly are and ignited a calling to walk alongside other families during one of life’s most vulnerable and transformative seasons. As a devoted wife to her high school sweetheart, proud girl mom, and passionate follower of Jesus, she is honored to offer a calm, confident, and faith-filled presence - whether your birth takes place at home or in a hospital, medicated or unmedicated.

I am slowly participating in a birth doula certification class through A Woman Who Serves; I will do births at very low cost (as of 7/12/26) until I feel like I’m more experienced. I’m a mom of five living daughters and I’ve had three pregnancy losses. All of my live births were different (see below), so I feel like I can support many different mamas and her decisions. I believe that all humans are created in the image and likeness of God and should be treated as such! I would love to share the day of your child(ren)’s birth(s) with you! No matter how it goes down, I will do my best to make it one of the best days of your life. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Here are my personal birth stories; I enjoy talking about births and babies. 😁 Daughter #1 (April 2009) Water spontaneously broke in middle of the night Contractions started naturally Epidural OB for a provider Pushed for 1.5 hours Vaginal, Hospital birth Daughter #2 (February 2016) Contractions started Labored mostly at home Midwife for a provider Midwife broke water Drug-free; no pitocin Vaginal, Hospital birth Daughter #3 (March 2017) Diagnosed IUGR at 32 weeks Scheduled early induction at 37w4d Midwife for provider Induction included Cytotec, membrane sweep, midwife breaking water All of labor was obviously in hospital Drug-free; no pitocin Vaginal; Hospital birth Daughter #4 (March 2019; this birth was a bit more exciting with a lot more detail, hahaha) Went to hospital for induction on 3/13/19; learned Baby turned footling breech sometime AFTER my 39 week ultrasound; discharged from hospital; confirmed breech with ultrasound later same day; spent that evening/night walking and working through some Spinning Babies things Woke up on 3/14/19 having irregular contractions; had an appt with chiropractor to attempt to flip baby; by 1p-130p contractions were getting stronger and more regular; back to hospital due to knowing Baby was breech; ultrasound confirmed Baby still in breech position; Meds to stop contractions; my midwife called OB to hospital to attempt to manually flip Baby; the version was a success; I was excited that a cesarean was no longer on my radar; I did NOT want a c-section. Around 525-530p, nurse “ran” into my room and told me to get on my side because Baby’s heart rate “plummeted”; I rolled over; midwife came in and checked heart monitor; midwife told me that she was gonna do a vaginal check (I don’t remember exactly why); midwife accidentally broke water when doing the check; I was excited because I knew Baby would probably be born soon; I remember telling everyone, “Let’s get this show on the road!” Haha. Within not very long (a minute or two?), a nurse had her hand/forearm up me where all the action was going to be taking place and another nurse was getting the OB on the phone and frantically saying, “STAT section”!! I was then told that the umbilical cord prolapsed and an emergency c-section needed to happen (drats!! Lol); l remember saying to everyone in my room, “Well by all means, do what you need to do.” I remember my midwife being right next to my head in the OR and she told me “Everything will be fine; we’ll take care of you and Baby.” 14ish minutes later, with me under general anesthesia, my 4th daughter was born at 5:56p. I was able to (finally) meet her in the NICU that same night. Daughter #5 (October 2020) VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean); 18.5 months after cesarean (midwife said I needed at least 18 months birth to birth to attempt a VBAC) Midwife for provider, but OB had to be present for the birth … due to VBAC? (I don’t remember why he had to be present.) Drug-free; no pitocin Most of labor was walking around outside, through Walmart, and then about an hour (or less) in a hotel room 😂😂😂😂😂 Got to hospital around 1:40 am Vaginal birth at 2:28 am
