It's 100% okay to change your mind!!! I will never make you feel bad because you said:
• "I know I said I didn't want an epidural, but I want it now..."
• "I still think I want an epidural, but I would really like to see how far I can get without one..."
• "Instead of a VBAC, I want to schedule a C-section..."
• "I know I hired you for a hospital birth, but I found a home birth midwife that I really click with, will you still be there?
• "I didn't want an induction, but I can't mentally handle not knowing when my body will go into labor."

These things, and many many more have been said to me, when a client changes her goal. And you know what? I help make that change as smooth as possible! So hire the Doula! We are also for the Mama's who might change their minds.

(If you suspect you are experiencing PPD, please reach out to your medical provider)

° It effects 10-20% of Mothers within the first year of their baby being born.

° It's often referred to as "baby blues", but baby blues lasts for the first 2-3 weeks following birth, and effects about 50% of Mothers.

° Many things can cause PPD, such as the hormonal shift from giving birth, lack of sleep, prior miscarriage, birth trauma, family history of depression, ect.

° PPD can be treated with medication, counseling, and even changing ones diet and lifestyle.

I've never had such a crazy busy January. It's usually one of my slow months, but not this year.
4 babies joined us- all boys 🩵💙🩵💙
2 clients were supported virtually (because the flu sucks 😖)
But because my January was so busy, I now have no births planned for February. But that's birth work, it's unpredictable, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

*How many prenatal visits are recommended
*How to structure your prenatal visits
*What ask or listen for during prenatal visits
*Role-playing exercises
