Black joy in pregnancy and parenting means we find moments of safety and softness *anyway*. It means laughter in the middle of exhaustion. It means choosing what feels right for our bodies, our births, our families — even when the system wasn’t built with us in mind.

Our stories are not just about surviving. They are about living, creating, caring for ourselves and for each other, and carrying futures forward. We have joy here — sitting in that fact matters.

Welcoming February a few days late 😅

A month of renewal, reflection, and intentional growth.

As we honor Black History Month, I’m celebrating the generations of Black birthworkers and healers who laid the foundation for holistic care, nourishment, and advocacy in maternal wellness.

Here’s to growing with purpose all month long. ✨💚

To kick off Black History Month, we at LER honor Dr. Kimarie Bugg — the first African American IBCLC in the United States.

✨Dr. Bugg is Co-Founder and long-time senior leader of Reaching Our Sisters Everywhere (ROSE), a national nonprofit advancing breastfeeding equity.

✨She also serves as Community Engagement Director for Communities and Hospitals Advancing Maternity Practices (CHAMPS), a program supporting hospitals nationwide to achieve Baby-Friendly designation — an evidence-based framework shown to strengthen facility-based breastfeeding support and reduce racial inequities in care.

Thank you, Dr. Bugg, for your unwavering dedication to ensuring all babies have access to the very best start in life — and for paving the way for current and future Black lactation consultants to fulfill their goal of supporting breastfeeding families!

Today may have broken the record for my quickest birth.

I arrived at 9 AM. Mom was only 6, 70, -1. The nurse thought baby would arrive by noon, but baby girl had other plans!

Around 9:50 mom grew increasingly uncomfortable and said the magic words “feels like I have to take a massive sh*t” 😂 We couldn’t find the call button so I run to the nurses station to grab our nurse. And in what feels like the longest three minutes, mom is groaning and tells me she feels like her body is pushing the baby out on its own. After finding the call button, I started pressing it like crazy.

Nurse comes in tells me very calmly we have time and proceeds to make a phone call. In comes the doctor and a resident. Five pushes later mom pushes out a beautiful baby girl who she was expecting to be a little over 6 pounds. 😅🥴

Mom and baby girl are both doing wonderful! 💚💖

At this point, everything in 2026 is going to come earlier than expected and in the most stubborn way possible! 😝

I’m so unbelievably proud of the Mama that I had the honor of providing services to yesterday. After a long day of challenging labor, she and her family welcomed a healthy baby boy! 💚💚

Love this! We bring so much with us to appointments and births. The value of a doula is truly immeasurable 💚

Not everything a doula brings fits inside a bag. 🤍
Some of the most important tools are felt, not held—steady presence, deep patience, intuitive care, unwavering support, thoughtful advocacy, and comfort through every wave of the journey.

Fatigue is one of the most stubborn PCOS symptoms—but food can be fuel!
Here are 3 nutrition swaps that can help balance blood sugar and fight that mid-day crash:
🥦 Add fiber-rich veggies at every meal
🍳 Prioritize protein at breakfast (think eggs, Greek yogurt, or chia pudding)
🥑 Balance carbs with healthy fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts)

🌱 Remember—stable blood sugar = stable energy!
