It's 100% okay to change your mind!!! I will never make you feel bad because you said:
β€’ "I know I said I didn't want an epidural, but I want it now..."
β€’ "I still think I want an epidural, but I would really like to see how far I can get without one..."
β€’ "Instead of a VBAC, I want to schedule a C-section..."
β€’ "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?
β€’ "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.

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 πŸ©΅πŸ’™πŸ©΅πŸ’™
2 clients were supported virtually (because the flu sucks πŸ˜–)
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.
