🌟Our birth community had the privilege to learn and practice breech delivery skills. As a Doula, I wasn’t learning to actually use the physical skills, but I chose to participate so I could learn and understand more about this VARIATION of birth. ➡️➡️➡️These skills need to be brought back and offered as an option for women wanting that choice. As a Doula, I feel having a deeper understanding of how breech babies are born helps me explain it to my clients and helps them ask good questions so they can feel they’re making an informed choice.

🤯Dad catching the baby? Did you know that this is a thing? 🤩➡️So many care providers are open to parents helping catch their babies. Sometimes it depends on the circumstances or the position that their partner is birthing in, but if you are interested in this experience, have a chat with your partner and your birth team.❤️

Your baby is breech!!! Hearing this can be a very emotional and maybe scary time. My support will help you feel more calm and confident about making choices. We’ll discuss your different options and then I’ll help you move forward with your plan. If an ECV is part of it, I’ll give you a set of movements and stretches to prepare ahead of time and of course, we always hope that that’s going to help baby move on their own. But if not, I will attend the procedure with you walking you through it. And regardless of whether baby turns, I can support your birth afterwards. Let’s chat today! Find out how my breach protocol can help you.

As World Doula Week wraps up I want to share this again because it shows so well what is involved it the active part of being a doula. Our work is a beautiful blend of physiology, intuition, and suggestion❤️

✅Partners the most important thing you can do in labor is just being with her. Your presence gives her grounded support. It boosts her oxytocin to help labor continue to flow. Yes there are other physical things you can do, but this is where it starts. ✅The birth ball is a very common tool to prep our bodies for labor helping babies find space before labor begins. It supports the body in a good upright posture. So many hospitals and birth centers now have this available for you during labor. Just ask ahead to make sure that your facility has it available. I do highly recommend having one at home for all of the weeks before you go into labor and when you are doing early labor at home. ✅These circle movements demonstrated in the video are ones that you want to be doing in the weeks leading to labor but also during labor. You want to continue to create open space for baby to find it in the pelvis. And sitting in this upright position, also uses 🌟gravity.🌟

We are so very proud of midwife and owner of TVM, Laurie, on her diligent work to pass HB639; which passed with not a single “nay”. This bill was crucial to ensuring the safety and wellness of mothers choosing to give birth in the community setting. It allowed for expansion of our formulary to be able to carry and administer lifesaving anti-hemorrhagic medications. This ensures that, when needed, community based midwives have the medications on hand to control postpartum bleeding in a timely and effective matter. Thank you to Laurie and all others who collaborated, carried, and supported this bill. This is HUGE for midwifery in Idaho!!

🌟Inversions, as talked about in this video are a great way to stretch all the ligaments in the pelvic floor attached to and around the uterus and cervix. But also, it can help baby come out of the pelvis so that they can rotate their head and find better space. This is part of my daily series that I give my clients and students to help prep the body for labor and allow baby to find good space hopefully before labor starts. But we also use this maneuver during labor if we want baby to reposition! ➡️Yes, this is also used to help turn a breech baby by bringing them out of the pelvis. You can check with your care provider to see if you have any contradictions to doing inversions like high blood pressure issues.
