Informed Decision Making is ALWAYS a hot topic, but in recent weeks there has been multiple stories come to light about the importance of your rights as a patient about the care you receive.

✨As much as we have the right to autonomy, the provider has the same right to autonomy. If they don’t feel they can move forward with your wishes safely, they have a right to refuse. We cannot expect to have it for ourselves if we aren’t willing to see the other person has it as well.

✨Your intuition is your biggest tool in your tool box. If something feels off, it probably is. No one, I mean no one cares more about that sweet little life than you. And no one cares more about your life than you do.

This is why it is sooooo important to find a provider that will align with what your desires are. I know there are times where we cannot find that provider. And this is where your support team come into play.

📚Get childbirth education!
🙋‍♀️Look into hiring a doula!
🗺️You may have to travel a longer distance for a hospital that can meet your needs and expectations.

You’ve got this mama. And if you don’t feel like you do…reach out and I can hopefully point you in the right direction!

•the crazy life of a birthworker•

It never ends!! We bounce from birth to birth, family to family…all the while trying to keep up with our own families and personal lives!

🍑 Birth Expo is tomorrow!!
•there’s prep work to do!

👰‍♀️ is getting married next week!!
•I’ve got cake batter and frosting coming out my ears

🤰and somebody might be in labor!

I’ve always been a “go hard” girlie. Whatever lights me on fire, I dive in head first without noticing how deep or shallow waters are. All in.

And it pretty much works out.

Except my physical body pays the price. The storing whatever I experience in my body because my brain doesn’t have time to process it…that’s what eventually catches up to me.

But for the past 6 months I’ve been working to choose gentleness.

That’s what I tell the mothers I work with to do…so why don’t I choose it for myself?

So here I am, doing my best to practice what I preach…but it’s going to take time to teach myself to slow down and I don’t have to strive.

I can slow down and notice the rays of sun coming through the clouds. I can feel the earth beneath my feet. I can smile at a stranger. I can be present. Not looking back, not pushing forward.

Birthworkers, be gentle with yourself. Mothers, be gentle with yourself. There is only one of you and we need you to be here and be well.

🐓FoR tHe LoVe Of FrIeD ChIcKeN🐓
TAKE A CHILDBIRTH CLASS!

🧠You don’t know what you don’t know…and pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum is where you NEED to know all you can to make informed decisions for you and your baby.

I have seen firsthand in my own practice how education impacts a birth outcomes.

✨2024-optional childbirth education ➡️ 31 out of 44 births were inductions

✨2025-childbirth education included in my birth services ➡️ 5 out of 43 births were inductions and less cesareans than the previous year.

📚Any childbirth education is good. But an in person class where you can ask all of the questions and get in depth evidence based answers.

💕Getting education from your doula…even better.

📝 Childbirth Ed preps you for writing your birth plan…and we will touch on that a little later…

🙋‍♀️ Have questions? Reach out, I’ll be happy to answer them. No strings attached…just want to help point you in the right right direction!

🐓 for the love of fried chicken 🐓

A little random series coming your way…with some helpful tips and observations from a birthworker…

Not to be confused with an actual love of fried chicken, but a love of supported moms, their support system and the environment they birth and postpartum in.

❄️because january felt like the longest year❄️

What in the world?!? That was bonkers. But I’m still standing, and there are 8 mothers who pushed beyond all of their boundaries.

They advocated.
They researched.
They trusted their bodies.
They waited patiently.
They were surprised.
They stood their ground.
They trusted the team that supported them.

What’s not listed is the amount of calls, texts. Looking at the contraction app, the hours of not in person support. The meetings I kept…working in the background to make sure there will be change in our maternal healthcare systems. The books being read…the debrief calls with other birthworkers (for me and for them).

It’s long, hard…BUT GOOD work and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Biscuits, birth and babies.

A tale of two doulas who became besties and have adventures in supporting clients, supporting clients together and supporting each other in our day to day lives.

This is just a snapshot on what we do while waiting for families to call us.

Sometimes that’s …
🛌 spinnanights
🤤biscuits
🚘 heading out to be close by
🧶 Hobby Lobby to buy stuff to learn how to make mushroom granny squares
☕️ sitting at a coffee shop shop, drinking coffee and crocheting
🤪being silly when you get to the hospital

I’m grateful I have a great community to lean on and share this journey with.
