Meet Meghan Nowland

Over the next few months, I will be taking some time to introduce you to some incredible women that I partner and work with.  I am typically one part of a great team of women supporting families. 

First up, I wanted to introduce you to Meghan Nowland, owner and founder of the Cincinnati Birth Center.  Meghan is an amazing home birth midwife who I have had the honor to get to know and work beside numerous times, partly due to COVID-19.

If you are considering a home birth in the Tri State area, I could not recommend her enough.

Why did you want to become a midwife?

I became a midwife because I saw how individualized midwifery care is and how hard it is after you have a baby, and wanted to offer better postpartum care and support. I grew up believing birth was normal so it was never a scary thing for me and as I got older realized how many people didn't grow up with that understanding. The way you give birth has such a huge impact on how you feel postpartum...
