IMMA STIR THE POT 😅😅😅 BUT...

Your provider should be encouraging you to have a doula JUST LIKE they encourage you to take a prenatal vitamin. 🥳

BOTH improve outcomes for mothers and babies
BOTH improve APGAR scores
BOTH help improve the health of mamas and babies
BOTH reduce risks

There's a reason MI ruled doulas as MEDICALLY NECESSARY. It's WHY we can take insurance. Doulas improve birth SO MUCH, that it was decided that it does more harm to NOT HAVE ONE.

If a location isn't doula friendly-THEY ARE NOT EVIDENCE BASED! PERIOD!

If you want to LOVE your birth here's how.

Pick a location you TRUST.
Find a provider you LOVE.
Cultivate a community that SHOWS UP.
Make decisions you BELIEVE IN.
And educate yourself so you have CONFIDENCE.

We could prevent so much birth trauma if all women did this...

📣 Calling any oversuppliers 📣

Our triplet babies could use some extra love and support through milk donations. If you are interested/able in potentially donating please message me. There are some conditions, but we would really appreciate any help.

Hey, if no one has mentioned this yet, this may be something you want to think about.

So, many first time moms plan to go back to work and while that can be great, most WANT to stay home. Once you have that baby, you can't imagine leaving them! And then you find out that childcare can easily be $1,000 a month and staying home becomes an easier choice.

Is this every mom? No, some love boss babe life and that's great! But you SHOULD think over the possibility that your heart could change. We see so many first time moms planning to go back to work, only for everything to change once their baby is in their arms.

Having a plan can really help alleviate last minute scrambling. Likewise, if you do have to or want to return back to work, find a daycare BEFORE you go on maternity leave. The spaces are limited and cost is substantial.

Anyways, that's all, just something to think over 🥰

Birth may not be what you expect, and that's okay. It may be raw, messy, shaky, or loud.

It may come with moments of pain, tears, bursts of laughter, or feelings you didn’t anticipate. It may be quiet, gentle, or completely different from the story you imagined. You might feel powerful, vulnerable, overwhelmed, or amazed—all at once.

Every birth is its own story, and every experience is real and valid. There’s no single “right” way to give birth, and there’s no perfect script to follow. What you feel, how you react, and the way your body moves through it all is unique to you. Honor your experience, embrace the unexpected, and remember that even the moments that feel messy or chaotic are part of something deeply human and profoundly transformative.
