I’m compilng some information for a assignment in a Midwifery Assistant Pogram. If this applies to you will you please share your experience? If not, will you please share this post for your friends to share their experiences?

If you experienced diet controlled gestational diabetes, how were you diagnosed? What diet changes worked for you? Did your GD affect when you gave birth or the size of your baby?

Did you know doulas and midwives are not the same? While sometimes confused in conversations, doulas and midwives have very different roles.

A midwife can be hired instead of working with an OB/GYN for your pregnancy and birth. Sometimes, midwives work alongside OBs but still in a clinical manner to ensure the health and safety of mom and baby. Many midwives provide continuity of care, traditional birth support, and provide a more whole family, whole body, holistic support. However, their role is to keep mom and baby safe and focus on clinical care, meaning they may not be available to support with comfort measures and reassurance the entire duration of labor and birth.

A doula is in addition to your midwife or OB/GYN. Doulas do not replace any health care providers. Doulas provide continuous labor support the duration of your labor and birth. As they are not clinical, they are able to focus on your comfort and support needs regardless of how birth is unfolding.

Doulas and midwives often work together to support families but have very different roles.

If you are waiting. Waiting for baby, waiting for answers, waiting for more...

Trust His Timing ❤️ ⏰️

Waiting is never easy! We want answers now, change now, breakthrough now. But God's timing is never late and never early—only perfect.

When the waiting feels heavy, remember: it is not wasted. In the stillness, He is shaping hearts, preparing paths, and weaving together what we cannot yet see.

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, and it speaks of the end, and does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it; because it shall certainly come, it shall not delay.
— Habakkuk 2:3

Trust the One who holds all time in His hands. 🌊✨️❤️

Are you a pumping mama but feel like you are not getting enough milk from your pumps? You may have the wrong fl**ge size.

I now have fl**ge sizing kits available so that you can spend money on the correct fl**ge size alone. If you’d like to check your size let me know and we can plan a meeting.
