Did you know your nurse/ midwife can give you a tour of your placenta?

I encourage you to take the tour!

This “after birth” is so much more than just that.

You can see…
🫶🏼the amniotic sac (where baby swam around in the amniotic fluid),
🫶🏼 the tree of life (where the umbilical cord disperses throughout the placenta on baby’s side of the placenta)
🫶🏼 the maternal side of the placenta (the side that attached to your uterus)
🫶🏼 the two umbilical arteries and one umbilical vein (all responsible for gas exchange with the placenta and pressure balancing as well)

By taking the tour of your baby’s first home you gain appreciation for the work you two (or more) have done together over the last 9 months, you will recognize the reason you may have needed iron supplemental support, you are more likely to honor the entire experience you just went through - giving yourself permission to rest and heal the placenta wound in your uterus.

And it can help you gain appreciation for how intricate this whole process of pregnancy and birth is.

Whether your placenta supported you well through your whole pregnancy, or you went through induction because it decided to stop working (like for preeclampsia) you can still take the tour 🤍

Did you tour your placenta? Let me know in the comments 👇

Birthwork isn’t just a job.

It’s a calling. A lifestyle. A passion. A desire. A drive.

Birthwork calls out the deepest parts of oneself - it asks us to draw on our experience to empower but pushes us to remove ourselves to empower her. Hold space for her- in ways we needed/wanted/desired.

I love my work. And I hope to continue in this work- forever.

TW- Miscarriage • Chemical Pregnancy

I have been a little more quiet on here the last couple months. As I get back to posting more regularity, it only feels right to honour the experience we just went through. I don’t feel like we can just pretend like this didn’t happen and move on. So here- in my little corner of the internet this will live 🤍

We would’ve been 12 weeks this week.

The announcements would have gone out.

But instead we are in limbo- missing you and trying to recover from the loss of hope in what you would have brought to our family.

I never realized the mental game that an early loss/chemical/miscarriage carried with it-
💔Wondering if you were even real
💔Feeling dumb for feeling so sad because it was so early
💔Hating my sadness because others had experienced worse/lost a baby later in pregnancy/ suffered from infant loss etc.
💔Questioning all the decisions and thing I did in those first few weeks
💔Wondering what is wrong with my body
💔Blaming my diet, the lack of or too much exercise.

We had been prepping. We had been trying. We got pregnant and then we weren’t pregnant anymore.

And somehow still hoping we may be given a baby soon.

I never knew the pain that could come from losing a baby so early.

If you have ever experienced a loss/ chemical pregnancy- you are not alone. Your pain is valid. Your sadness is valid. Your confusion of valid. You are enough. You did nothing wrong 🫶🏼

Let’s talk ✨Early Labor✨

First- save this for labor! 😉

Average for a first time mom is 12(-24) hours 😬😳

Which means how we start labor can either exhaust us before labor really starts, or set us up with energy and peace going into active labor. 🌊

This is why I suggest - eating and drinking, resting, distracting, and staying home- because these are what most women’s bodies need in early labor.

Make sure to follow for the next- what I encourage my doula clients to do in“active labor”

Here’s the truth about an unmedicated birth….

✨Most women can’t wing it so I wouldn’t rely on that.
✨You need to have preferences.
✨You need a team around you who believes in your capabilities
✨You have to have a mindset that truly believes an epidural is not an option.
✨ Your partner needs to be educated and all in
✨ Choosing a midwife can be an immense help and working with a Doula makes the dream team.

‼️Now this isn’t me saying that you need to have an unmedicated birth. There are many women who choosing an epidural and there is nothing wrong with that.‼️

But the women who are seeing this who are genuinely thinking, I want that unmedicated labor -these are the realities I discuss with my clients all of the time.

Did you have an unmedicated labor? What was the most important thing for you? Let me know in the comments! 👇

11/10/2025

I tell my clients this all the time- the more you know- the more options you have. The more say you have. The more empowered you are.

So when you hear things like
✨ delayed cord clamping vs. wait until white
✨ active management of the second stage vs wait and see
✨ working with gravity to get things moving vs pitocin augmentation
✨ AROM vs leaving them intact
And so much more.

The more you know (and knowing the evidence around it) can help you feel like you’re taking an active part of your labor and birth. 🫶🏼

We are so excited to have and .foley_ on our team offering postpartum support.

Postpartum support is an incredible way to feel in control, confident and joyful in those first few weeks

We aren’t meant to do it alone. We are meant for ✨community✨

This is a big misunderstanding we see all of the time in the birth world.

So here it is- plain and simple.

Doula- incredible professional support person (not a medical provider)
OBGYN- a surgeon who specializes in obstetrics (High risk moms and babes)
GP- can be trained in Obs (has a medical degree!)
Midwife- a specialized primary care provider- specifically for pregnancy, birth, postpartum and neonates. (Low risk pregnancies)

You choose between an OB, GP OR midwife- and then you hire a doula 🫶🏼
