What if we were never TAUGHT to FEAR birth?

The role I play is for THE MOTHER.
When someone trusts me to help guide them through their birth, I want them to be as educated as they can be going in.

I have many different packages (virtual and in-person). But, when someone hires me for their whole birth I will spend:

•Two 2-3 hour prenatals- going over the psychological process of birth and home remedies for ailments in each trimester, going over your birth plan, and any and all interventions that could happen.
•On call after week 37 for texts, calls, or support.
•Presence and support however you need it through labor and delivery.
• Two 2 hour postpartum visits where I can do anything you need me to! Watch the kids, cook food, clean, go shopping (I would usually do this on the way and not count it as time ☺️)

These also can all be separated if you don’t want to use me for your whole birth. I can be a sibling doula and watch your kids while you’re in labor. I do labor/birth photography. I also am a placenta specialist and can help you use your own body after birth to help heal yourself 💕

YOU are in control of your birth. Not your partner, not your provider, not your nurses. YOU! Your provider, most times, won’t spend more than 10-20 minutes with you each visit. That isn’t enough time to fully educate you on labor and birth! THATS WHAT IM HERE FOR!

Take control. Hire a birthkeeper. Have someone ready to go up to bat for you when you are in that vulnerable state of labor. You won’t regret it 💜

I spent all day making version 2.0 of this rotation handout.

When an arm is stuck, there are 3 main rotational maneuvers. The first two are upright maneuvers, while Løvset is primarily supine.

If you have taken our breech workshops, you will understand this illustration. If you'd like to learn what this all means, please come to one of our 2020 workshops! Anyone is welcome to learn. See www.breechworkshop.com for a list of workshop locations.

Try different positions!!!

I am still so in love with the CUB!

Why do upright positions matter?

When the mother is in an upright position it can help the baby to be in the best (easiest) position for birth, making more space within her pelvis than if she is semi-sitting or lying on her back on a bed.

Current research has shown that this can make labour shorter and giving birth easier as well as increase safety for the mother and her baby by reducing the risks of complications during birth.

The CUB supports all of the advantages of an active labour and upright position for birth. Find out more about the CUB and shop using the link in our bio!
