🌿VBAC Birth🌿
(Vaginal Birth After Csection)

Your decision, your baby, your birth.

This beautiful nurse was told by 3 doctors that she couldn't have a vbac... Translation was that they weren't comfortable with their ability to support her. So she hired a doula and located a provider who was.

Sleep deprivation takes a major toll on the brain and the body. ⁠
⁠
So it’s no wonder that moms often have a hard time coping when their babies don’t sleep. ⁠
⁠
In fact, in a recent study, 31% of moms who report poor infant sleep experience intense anger.* ⁠
⁠
That’s why I’m talking about sleep for today’s ⁠
⁠
Sleep deprivation often sets the stage for Mom Rage. ⁠
⁠
When moms can’t get sleep they are more likely to be irritable, more easily overstimulated, and have less capacity to manage their anger. ⁠
⁠
This also means that getting more, better quality sleep is a practical way to counter postpartum Mom Rage. ⁠
⁠
But what are moms supposed to do when their babies can’t sleep? ⁠

34 years ago on October 15, 1988, President Ronald Reagan declared October to be recognized as Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month.

On that day he said: “When a child loses his parent, they are called an orphan. When a spouse loses her or his partner, they are called a widow or widower. When parents lose their child, there isn't a word to describe them." This month recognizes the loss so many parents experience across the United States and around the world. It is also meant to inform and provide resources for parents who have lost children due to , ectopic pregnancy, molar pregnancy, stillbirths, birth defects, , and other causes.

We know the loss you've experienced isn't just recognized during one month. However, it is an opportunity to join together as a community to break the silence and stigma of pregnancy and infant loss. For so many of you who have loved and lost, we see you. 🧡
