He’ll definitely be back for more (we’re absolutely goin to have the “how do you know if you should have more kids convo), but for now, get into this convo with us about all things our births, babies, how he prepped, how he showed up, and some snapshots of parenting and marriage among the chaos of our four littles.

Well done, brave new mama.

You are a wonder. ♥️

Listen, your things don’t have to be my things. But I think everyone can probably take a look at the end and realize there is a lot to let go of and that a lot of voices and opinions probs aren’t helping that much.

Find those things that matter to you. That literally feel nice to learn or good to know or truly bring you peace while you wait. Do those. Wait in those.

And when something you’re supposed to do or someone you think should listen to is making you feel anxious, less than, Ill prepared?

Maybe that goes on you definitely dont need to do list.

2 days left to join me in the live sale enrollment for my birth class (and 3 bonus birth courses AND the postpartum/newborn course). If you’re feeling like “yes, I want help figuring this out and feeling this sure” that’s what we’ll figure out together. 👉🏼 Comment 428 for details before it closes.

Comment 428 for details and GET IN HERE!

This education is for you if:

You want to feel in charge and able to make decisions but don’t know how to get there

You want to prep and get ready well in the last weeks, so that labor starts from a good place

You want a birth without any drugs

(Or) you may or may not want an epidural, but you want options

(Or) you want an epidural in the parking lot and want it go well after

You want to avoid a c-section you don’t need

You want to avoid an induction you don’t need

You want to know how to reduce your tearing risk

You want to get to the hospital when you actually need to

You want to know what causes trauma so you can advocate & avoid

I’ve got you. It’s in here. So you can show up consistently, capable, steady. AND your birth partner will too (bc check out those bonuses you’re gonna get).

Comment 428 for the deets 😘

Just checking in on… A LOT of birth things.

Nothing is only one way. There is rarely (NEVER?) a universally best thing.

Unless it’s that we can all agree that the best thing is that everyone is fully educated and informed to choose THEIR best thing.

We can agree on that, right?

My birth courses, plus 3 bonus courses for the birth partners, induction, and VBAC, PLUS the postpartum/newborn course are on sale for live enrollment right now.

COMMENT 428 if you’re looking for education more like this, and less of “this is how we do it” and “this is what the best thing is.”

And seriously - you can be totally naked. It’s not common - but I’ve seen it. Whatever works - because baby is coming out either way.

IB:

The cervical exam and the membrane sweep ARE 2 different things and the sweep does not have to happen just because they’re already in there.

Not at all. There are pros and cons to a sweep and it is a separate thing that you can say sure or nope to.

If you’re worried about this or don’t want one at a certain point, you can easily remind your provider of that.

“Just a reminder, please don’t do a sweep while you’re in there. I just want to know what the cervix is doing” - or something like this works fine.

Hope that helps!!

Obviously this is all super objective! But I think sometimes there is also collective sentiment about how things feel and we can use that to kind of learn and consider what we want or how to prep?

If you want to take a look attempt birth guide that walks through all of these things and allll the other things as you prep for birth, make a birth plan, etc. just comment PREPME (one word) and I’ll send that to you!

Ok, whatcha thing? Am I way off?? I’ve experienced 5/8, but the rest was all watching my patients and your stories!

Someone once asked me what my favorite moment of birth was, whether it be for me and for you, and I instantly knew my answer.

There’s this moment, and it happens in the hospital, at home, in the OR…where I feel like the earth is holding its breath. This tiniest pause. And then they’re here.

There’s a before - and there’s an after.

And everything has utterly and completely changed.

I know that’s not everyone’s favorite part. I know some don’t feel that. I know some of you won’t have a favorite part at all.

But that moment, to get to be a part of that, to stand in that incredibly sacred space and witness it, to hold someone’s hand through the highs and lows of it, it’s the reason L&D nursing (and birthing my own 4 babies) will forever be one of the greatest privileges of my life.
