LoveBuddha Birth Services Welcome birthing families :) This page is dedicated to all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum & child-raising related.

Happy to be a part of your special journey :) .... and if you're looking for quality educational toys, I'm a Discovery Toys rep as well Being around Moms & Babies has forever been a part of my life it seems. From the time I was 5 or 6 and practicing on my collection of dolls, to my teen years when I eagerly sought out babysitting opportunities, and into my 20’s when I gave birth to my own wonderful children, it’s just always been a part of my life. Some things really are a calling I believe, and my goal has always been to embrace those experiences as they were presented to me. And what a journey it’s been so far! :)

My Doula journey began 20+ years ago after having birthed my own babies. It was a time of joy and excitement and the gathering of so much information that I found to be helpful to families I engaged with in their own birth experiences. From my giddiness at completing my training with Informed Homebirth / Informed Birth & Parenting, to the awe-inspiring coaching sessions I experienced with the one-and-only Ina May Gaskin :) I found my way into a world of beautiful experiences that opened my heart to a job that could never really just be ‘a job’ for me. And then life stepped in and pulled me away from this path and into other areas that necessitated my full focus and heart. I branched into the fields of child health & development, personal injury rehabilitation, and the intricacies of how Autism & Acquired Brain Injury impact the lives of children & their families. And somehow 20 years has flown by, and yet my journey of learning and helping and sharing is always ongoing. Which brings me to early 2016, when a series of syncronicities in my life called me back to ‘the first love’ of my life … Doula-ing! A simple request to spend time with a couple expecting their 2nd child, after experiencing a traumatic birthing experience with their first. And everything came flooding back to me, telling me it was time again to walk along this path. So I embraced this return and started the path of (re)certification with DONA International & CAPPA. Which means many, many more hours ahead of reading, studying, engaging with families and their care providers, and new learning ... always learning :) But it’s so rewarding … and heartwarming … and I’m thankful every day for people that allow me to be a part of their life experiences.

Parents are now being told they should “ask their babies for consent” before changing a diaper. According to the guidance, adults are supposed to pause, announce the diaper change, and then wait for the baby to show some form of acknowledgment before proceeding.

They say parents should narrate every step, ask questions like “Can I change your diaper now?” and then look for body language such as eye contact, a hand movement, or a shift in posture as a sign of “consent.” They also suggest giving the baby options, like asking whether they want to be carried to the changing table or crawl there.

The idea is that every diaper change should be treated like a cooperative moment where the baby participates through cues, even though they can’t speak or understand what’s being asked.

This is the type of guidance now being promoted in parenting discussions, encouraging parents to apply consent-based communication to infants during basic care routines.

🚨 New Research Reveals Hidden Long-Term Risks After C-Sections — And Millions of Women Were Never Told

For over 50 years, surgeons worldwide have relied on the same method to close the uterus during cesarean deliveries.

It was considered safe, simple, and standard.

But groundbreaking research by Dr. Emmanuel Bujold and Dr. Roberto Romero now warns that this traditional technique may be causing serious long-term health issues for millions of women.

The current method stitches the uterine lining and muscle layers together—tissues that are not meant to be joined. This prevents the uterus from healing naturally, creating a weak, irregular scar that can cause complications later in life.

🔬 What the data shows:

Abnormal placenta attachment: up to 6%

Uterine rupture in later pregnancies: up to 3%

Premature births: up to 28%

Chronic pelvic pain: up to 35%

Heavy or irregular bleeding: up to 33%

Endometriosis or adenomyosis: up to 43%

Scar defects (“niches”) linked to infertility and miscarriage

With C-section rates climbing globally—27% in Canada, 32% in the U.S., nearly 50% in countries like Brazil—these risks now affect millions of mothers.

🩺 The proposed solution:

Bujold and Romero recommend a more precise closure technique:

Suturing muscle to muscle

Leaving the uterine lining untouched so it can regenerate naturally

Rebuilding the uterus layer by layer, restoring its original architecture

This method takes just 5–8 extra minutes, causes minimal additional blood loss, and may significantly reduce complications in future pregnancies.

🌍 Why it matters:

As C-sections rise, improving how the uterus is repaired isn’t just a surgical upgrade—it’s a global women’s health priority.

This shift in technique could safeguard fertility, reduce life-threatening complications, and transform outcomes for millions of mothers.

👉 Mothers deserve a uterus that heals properly. It’s time the world updates a 50-year-old surgical tradition.

Disney’s newest short film “Vérsa” has sparked controversy for what critics call a return to “traditional family values.” The story centering on a straight couple navigating parenthood has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising its warmth while others accuse it of sidelining q***r representation.
The backlash highlights how even a simple family story can ignite culture-war debates in 2025. To some, it’s nostalgic storytelling; to others, it feels like a step backward from Disney’s recent attempts at inclusion.
As audiences split over whether “Vérsa” is harmless or regressive, one thing’s clear: in today’s climate, even cartoons carry political weight.
