Meet the Birth Plus birth doula team! This past weekend, the four of us got together for some fun and team building, which of course had to include snacks! To make it fun, we challenged the team to bring a snack that starts with the first letter of our first names!

When you work with our doula agency, you're getting the individualized support from your selected doula while benefiting from our collective wisdom, experience, and support of one another! Between just the four of us in this video, we have supported more than 250 births over a collective 24 years! You can rest assured that our team has got you, and your doula's, back! Contact us to schedule your Discovery Call today! All our doulas are trained, certified, and insured, and when you work with Birth Plus, you receive our Google Drive resources just for families, discounts to our childbirth classes, and an in-home lactation assessment from Lincoln Lactation!

Looking to join the fun? We're hiring doulas of all experience levels!

Here's our doula team's recommended top three ways to prepare for an unmedicated birth!

1. Hire a birth doula! Yes, we know we're biased 💪 but research shows that when you are supported by a birth doula, you are less likely to request pain medications, https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD003766.pub6/full!

2. Take an out-of-hospital childbirth class! You need to know your options to know which are right for you and your desired birth experience, and when you are getting that information from a hospital class, you're only getting the information that's relevant to their standard of care. That hospital birth class isn't going to inform you about the birth center down the road, or that the hospital across town offers waterbirths. If you don't know your options, you don't have any options.

3. Practice physical relaxation! The initial instinct is to tense in response to uncomfortable stimulations, but in order to cope with birthing contractions, you have to relax and let your uterus do its work! Not only is relaxation practice a good practice for all people, by practicing physical relaxation in pregnancy, you're setting yourself up for success in relaxing for contractions. Doula Joyce says to make your body limp and loose like cooked spaghetti!

If you've had an unmedicated birth, how did you prepare? If you want an unmedicated birth, what questions do you have?

ALSO! Peep our owners Joyce and Melissa in our photo, and guess how many years ago this photo was taken?
