Hi there mumma!
I’m Stacey and I am the Epilepsy Doula. I am here to support you on all levels as you journey into motherhood.
Being a mother of three myself and having lived with epilepsy for 17 years, I understand the fears and anxieties that can arise when having a high risk pregnancy.
My mission is providing a gentle approach to high risk birth.
If you feel called, it would be my absolute honour to accompany you on your journey, whether it’s your first pregnancy or your fifth.
I am here to ensure you feel safe, supported and protected throughout your pregnancy and beyond.
Working with me, we will address topics such as:
- writing a birth plan
- The Epilepsy Pregnancy Registry
- The importance of folate when pregnant with epilepsy
- Reducing stress
- Knowing your triggers
- Fuelling your brain and body with nutritious food in pregnancy and postpartum.
- Building your support network
- Delayed cord clamping
- Hypnobirthing for both physiological and cesarian birth
- Breast feeding and medication
- Managing sleep deprivation
- Seizure alert devices
- Keeping mum and baby safe
- Gentle ceasarean
But ultimately it comes down to you, and how I can best support you. I am here to listen to you, to celebrate this incredible journey with you, to laugh with you and cry with you.
While a high risk birth is not something that any mother chooses, it does not mean that you don’t have choices.
If you would like to get in contact please reach out.
Big love 💜 Stacey
