Get you a doula and get educated on these things, mama!
Toss that pitocin aside and let me help you get that baby out with my own personal recipe, what I like to call the "get this baby out regimen" ;)

Pitocin is a synthetic version of oxytocin derived from the pituitary glands of animals. Used to bring on contractions and active labor, pitocin is being used in about 40% of laboring women😳

Unfortunately, pitocin is being over used and mismanaged for reasons such as:
-Convenience
-Being “past due”
-Baby is measuring “big”

It’s also being used as a precaution post birth to prevent hemorrhage...most moms don’t even realize they were administered pitocin once baby was born. The sad part is, hemorrhage is also a listed side effect of pitocin😳

Direct from the manufacturer insert itself, these are the following risks of Pitocin:
“Bradycardia
Premature ventricular contractions and other arrhythmias
Permanent CNS or brain damage
Fetal death
Neonatal seizures have been reported with the use of Pitocin.
Low Apgar scores at five minutes
Neonatal jaundice
Neonatal retinal hemorrhage
Anaphylactic reaction
Water toxicity due to severe levels of water retention
Postpartum hemorrhage
Cardiac arrhythmia
Fatal afibrinogenemia
Nausea
Vomiting
Premature ventricular contractions
Pelvic hematoma
Subarachnoid hemorrhage
Hypertensive episodes
Rupture of the uterus “

There are many other natural ways to induce labor and bring on contractions, and other ways to prevent postpartum hemorrhage (sucking on a piece of umbilical cord or placenta, and Shepherds Purse which should only be used AFTER the placenta has been birthed). Pitocin should be your VERY LAST resort if medically necessary.

Some natural options include:
-Foley bulb
-Acupuncture
-Acupressure
-Massage therapy

Hi guys!

It's been a while since I posted, and there has been a lot of new likes lately. Thank you for your support!

If you are new to my page, and you have ANY questions, feel free to message me anytime. Shooting me a message does not mean you're signing a binding contract. I'm always happy to share knowledge and help in any way that I can.

Just some random things about me:

*I've been on a small hiatus lately due to personal health problems-keep a look out for when I begin to take a limited number of in-person clients in the coming months! Until then I'm always taking inquiries and messages.

*It's never too early or late in your pregnancy to hire me as your doula. New mom's(and veteran moms alike)especially like someone who they can call or message with any worries they have even in the early months.

*I serve pregnant and postpartum clients in the Cabarrus/Rowan area; I also offer services virtually to anyone across the country!

*I believe EVERY person deserves the right to a doula! I offer discounted/free services to better improve the people of our community's birth experiences and to serve those in need so they have the equal opportunity to have the best birth experience possible.

Most of these are pretty neat maternity clothing hacks! ❤ Going out and buying maternity clothes can cost too much.

For better birth outcomes, the U.S. should rethink maternity care

Congratulations! Positive pregnancy test!
It's never too early to consider hiring a Doula. Having someone to go to during your pregnancy when you and partner have any questions(24/7 ;)), having support during and after labor, and so so much more. I'm supporting women locally in person, and also long distance via internet/phone. Right now I'm taking some clients for FREE and then when those spots run out charging based on income; because I believe everyone that wants a doula should have the right to one! Message me for details :)

All my pregnant or trying Goddesses that aren't local to Charlotte, NC, can still use my highly beneficial services! I'm excited to announce that I've decided to add some really amazing services to my doula business that I've been running trials on... TLC Birth Services will now offer a Long Distance/Internet package. This includes services and support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum through phone, social media, and we**am. This also includes the shipping and/or E-mailing of any and all materials I offer exclusively to in-person clients! I'm going to start out at HEAVILY DISCOUNTED rates! Spots are limited, so share this with any friends or family that are trying/currently pregnant! SO MANY BENEFITS TO HAVING A DOULA, the best one being a less-stressful pregnancy and labor. Who wouldn't want that? ;-) Message me for info!
