3 babies , one week 🙌 What a beautiful week it’s been supporting mothers, witnessing families expanding, being entrusted to be present in sacred moments 🥰 Life is good

In a state that has a current big fat F for failing to keep mothers and newborns safe during birth and postpartum, denying women the support of a doula is downright criminal. ACOG supports your decision to hire a doula. There’s so many benefits to having continuous, unbiased support , that’s all YOURS. Pay attention to the red flags from your provider, you deserve competent care! 🚩 dismissing your concerns 🚩dismissing your birth plans 🚩denying you the ability to find a supportive doula 🚩not discussing alternatives, full disclosure of risks

I forgot to add a good TV show entertaining your doula while you try to nap 😂 As a doula I aim to expose you all the birth tools you could have in your tool belt for labor comfort. I guide you into positions and movements that can aid in your labor progress. We practice these things, we rehearse your labor! Then I’m there on the big day, with you to support your goals! What was your most used birth tool? Have you ever tried a tens unit? Do you know the Miles circuit and how to arrange yourself in those positions with your belly?

Hear me out! Drop the dates, get yourself off that couch inversion, put down the evening primerose oil! And gather some nervous system regulation tools. Can you stop racing thoughts with your breath? Do you have a physical exercise that helps you close the loop, when you feel jittery? Can you activate your vagus nerve and remind your body to “rest and digest”? Tap into some regulation practices, because when your body is on that labor train, your brain needs to tag along fully regulated and feeling safe. Safety = Oxytocin Oxytocin= !birth progression

This one is for the partners! Your support both, physical and emotional is invaluable ❤️ 🥰 My goal as your doula is to help you become as effective support as you can possibly be. 📚 Let’s learn together the phases of physiological labor, so that you can understand your role in each stage. 🙌 Let’s learn how to comfort with your hands, let’s regulate that nervous systems thru breath so you can help her feel anchored in your arms. This moment is yours, this birth will transform you and your family. Prepare for it. Train for it. Do not go in thinking you will rescue her, because you will end up feeling inadequate. Instead become her grounding space, where she can return and find peace after a surge, where she can surrender and be held gently 🌊 Shout out to this amazing couple that allowed me to witness their connection, thank you for taking in my guidance and doing with it beautiful work together. You keep inspiring me!

One of the things we remember most about our birth experience is how those around us made us feel. Listening to birth trauma caused by inpatient support, dismissing providers or clueless people putting their needs before the laboring mama pi**es me all the way off!

Get you a doula 🥰

Birth prep! The time is now pregnant mamas!!! Don’t fall victim to P.P.P. = P**s Poor Planning let me help!

There’s an extra S for Side stomach position, like I am holding this little baby on his side, tummy to tummy.. It works like a dream 😴 Get your sway and your shush on! Contact naps are biologically normal and very important to brain development, so as long as that baby is getting his Zzzz surrender to the moment and enjoy the cuddles

This is soul work and it’s bounty comes from the gratitude, the fulfilling purpose and the palpable difference my support creates for the families that graciously allow me in their sacred spaces 🥰

This is me, 10 days past my Estimated Due date. With my 4th pregnancy. Never having made it past 40weeks with any of the boys before her. She ended up coming the very next day at 41 week 4 days. Your is just that, an estimate. Every gestating person is different. Every baby needs different timelines to mature. Is it a test of patience? Absolutely! Was I sick and tired of being pregnant? Heck yes!! Was I having regular monitoring and good conversations with my provider regarding timelines, limits and possible routes my journey to getting her out could take? You betcha! Did I feel safe and empowered to make good decisions for my care and hers? Yup and you should too! Ask the questions, tune into your intuition, encourage optimal fetal position and keep oxytocin flowing. Tell me what’s the longest you’ve been pregnant?!
