A day in the life of a doula: on call, caffeinated, and ready to hold space (and phones) 24/7 ☕📱✨

02/02/2026

If pregnancy (or postpartum) feels like the same day over and over…you’re not doing it wrong.

Rest, routine, and repetition are forms of care, not stagnation.

Doulas support you through the in-between days, not just the big moments.

Late pregnancy be like: Is today the day?

Labor can feel like Groundhog Day:
contraction… rest… contraction… rest…

And just like the movie, the repetition isn’t meaningless, it’s how progress is made.
Each wave brings you closer, even when it feels the same.

Let us help you trust the rhythm and stay grounded in the process 🤍

✨ Let’s Talk About Oxytocin- The Love Hormone of Labor ✨

Oxytocin isn’t just for bonding and cuddles… it’s actually the key hormone that drives labor 💪🤍

🧠 What is oxytocin?
Oxytocin is a hormone released by the brain that causes the uterus to contract during labor and helps labor progress effectively.

🌊 What does it do in labor?
• Starts and strengthens contractions
• Helps labor move forward
• Supports bonding between parent & baby
• Reduces stress and fear
• Helps with milk release after birth

💗 Oxytocin loves calm + connection
Your body makes oxytocin best when you feel:
• Safe
• Supported
• Relaxed
• Loved

That’s why dim lights, quiet voices, gentle touch, encouragement, and feeling respected can actually help labor progress.

🚫 Oxytocin shuts down with fear
Stress, fear, feeling rushed, or not being supported can slow oxytocin, which may slow labor too.

🌸 Ways to boost oxytocin naturally during labor:
• Holding hands or hugging
• Massage or counter pressure
• Encouraging words
• Warm showers or baths
• Slow breathing
• Feeling informed and supported

✨ Labor isn’t just physical, it’s hormonal.
Your environment and emotional state matter just as much as what your body is doing.

💬 This is why continuous, compassionate support in labor is so powerful.

✨ Life on Call as a Doula ✨

Being on call as a doula means our phone is always charged, our bag is always packed, and our heart is always ready. 🤍

It looks like canceled plans, middle-of-the-night check-ins, and living in a constant state of “maybe today’s the day.”
It means listening closely to intuition, honoring your body’s timeline, and showing up whenever your moment arrives, no matter the hour.

Being on call isn’t just availability… it’s a commitment. A promise to hold space, offer steady support, and walk alongside you through one of the most powerful transitions of your life.
Waiting, watching, trusting, because birth doesn’t run on a schedule, and neither do doulas. ✨

💫 So if you see us a little quieter, a little more tuned in, or glued to our phones, this is why.

✨ World Breast Pumping Day ✨

Today we honor the parents who pump, whether by choice, necessity, or a mix of both. Breast pumping takes time, dedication, patience, and so much love!

Pumping can look like middle-of-the-night alarms, hands-free sessions during meetings, labeling milk bags, washing parts (again), and showing up for your baby in the way that works best for your family.

However you feed your baby, nursing, pumping, combo feeding, or formula, you are doing an incredible job.

Every ounce, every effort, every decision made with care matters.

💗 You are seen
💗 You are supported
💗 You are doing enough

Happy World Breast Pumping Day to all the amazing pumping parents out there.

❄️ Baby Boom Incoming? ❄️

With these frigid temperatures keeping everyone indoors and extra cozy, we might just see a little uptick in babies about 9 months from now 😉 👶🤍

Cold weather has a funny way of slowing life down, encouraging rest, connection, and closeness, and nature often follows right along. If a fall baby ends up being part of your story, doulas are here to support every step of the journey.

Stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the cozy moments 💕

❄️ Baby, It’s Cold Outside ❄️

Frigid weather is a reminder to slow down, stay cozy, and give your body a little extra care, especially during pregnancy and the postpartum season.

Cold days can bring:
• Extra aches and tension
• Increased fatigue
• A stronger need for rest, warmth, and nourishment

As doulas, we encourage families to honor these moments of stillness. Wrap up in layers, sip something warm, nourish your body, and allow yourself to rest without guilt. Your body is doing important work.

Whether you’re growing a baby, healing after birth, or adjusting to life with a newborn, support matters, especially on days like this.

✨ We're currently booking birth and postpartum support and would love to walk alongside you through this season.
