I was so focused on being present today that I didn’t even think to take photos. 😢Here’s the only one I took, and I only took it because Alex asked me to. 😆 I think he’s determined to get the girls into riding motorcycles one day. Scarlett was very excited to try on his new gloves and boots.

Here’s to you and yours. 🥂 I hope you’ve had a very memorable Christmas and a happy holiday.

Every comfort measure helps!

An Elle TENS machine is a comfort measure that provides drug-free pain relief during birth. It can be used in home and hospital births and can even be utilized before and after labour for back, neck, and shoulder pain. These handy little machines have been used in the UK for over 25 years and have gained popularity in North America over the past 10 years.

TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It works by sending mild electrical pulses through the electrodes (pads) that are placed on the lower back. These electrical pulses pass through the skin to the nerve fibres below, stimulating the body’s ability to produce its own natural pain killing endorphins that combat the discomforts of labour. In addition to helping your body produce endorphins, it also interrupts the pain signals being sent to the brain from the uterine muscles contracting therefore reducing the experience of pain. This is known as the Gate Control Theory of Pain.*

As a doula, an Elle TENS is the most valuable item in my birth bag.

Are we being short changed by early due dates?

Being issued a specific due date can feel like being given an expiration date. Even as a doula knowing that due dates are a misnomer I still felt like a loaf of bread about to mold when I went past 40 weeks.

A due date, better known by medical professionals as an EDD or Estimated Date of Delivery, is just that, an estimate. Several studies have found that due dates should be extended by 3 to 5 days.

“Based on the best evidence, there is no such thing as an exact “due date,” and the estimated due date of 40 weeks is not accurate. Instead, it would be more appropriate to say that there is a normal range of time in which most people give birth. About half of all pregnant people will go into labor on their own by 40 weeks and 5 days (for first-time mothers) or 40 weeks and 3 days (for mothers who have given birth before). The other half will not.”1

Would you be surprised if I told you that due dates are calculated based on a centuries old formula conceived of by a man?

“The theory that gestation lasts 40 weeks was originally thought up by a botanist in 1744, who believed pregnancy lasted 10 lunar months.

In 1812, German obstetrician Franz Naegele publicised this formula. Since then, this method of calculating the estimated due date has become the accepted norm, which is now centuries old.”2

Surprised? Me neither.

What’s the takeaway here? An estimated date of delivery is not an exact science. Check out the links between for more info.

Where does the time go?

Life; between children, volunteering at my kids school, tending our home and running this business has left me with little to no time to be active on social media. I’d like to change that though. I seek balance in all aspects of my life and yet I know that everything has an ebb and flow, and that consistency is not always possible. All we can do is try.

Going forward I plan to put more energy into sharing with you all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and family that inspired my business in the first place.

In the meantime, I’d like to reintroduce you to my family and my reason why; my husband Alex and our three girls; Aprilia, Maddie and Scarlett.

Thank you for being here with us.

“My goal is to provide you the support you need on your journey through pregnancy, birth and into the postpartum.”
