Cherise Doyley was 12 hours into labor at University of Florida Health (UF Health) Jacksonville when a nurse walked in with a bedsheet and told her to cover up. A tablet was wheeled to her bedside. A judge, flanked by lawyers, doctors, and hospital staff, appeared on the screen. Doyley, a profession...

Great info!

I support (and love) water birth but I *do* ask clients to wait for me to get there before they get into the tub. Partners / doulas can get the tub ready for the client to hop in as I am walking in the door and I always encourage folks to get into the shower for some relief if they are wanting hydro therapy to help with labor management before my arrival 💜

I have decided to feature one of the (many) Furry & Feathered members of our household once a week as part of a Get to Know Your Midwife series 💜🐓🐈🐐🐀🪿🐍🐕.

We’re starting off strong with Hen Rietta, a 5 year old Freedom Ranger hen and a beloved member of our flock. She likes to silently judge people as they walk by and lets me know she does not approve of my (lack of) gardening skills in regards to getting the herb boxes prepped for the year.

She also likes to hop in cars when you aren’t looking. Her exact purpose is unclear, but she does enjoy finding the desiccated french fries that get lost and forgotten under the car seat. Hen Rietta loves pets and waddle rubs.

Appropriate pain management for obstetrical procedures should be the standard of care 💜 so glad that Planned Parenthood offers pain management options for IUDs and other cervical procedures.

Ask your provider about their pain management options. If they say otc NSAIDs is all you can have then it’s time to ask them *why* they aren’t offering appropriate pain management options.

I don’t know about you, but these statistics made me go 😬😬😬

No surprises at all that private Midwifery care had the highest rates of spontaneous labor, however it is alarming that

This is your friendly reminder from your local
Midwife that you cannot trust everything you see online - even if the source posts with confidence.

This (blatantly) AI image was shared along with a lengthy AI generated post discussing fetal positions. These positions are *not* visually represented accurately at all - including the “normal” one.

To those looking for informative posts - if you see an AI image or a post with lots of emoji’s (especially used as bullet points) use caution and double-check/verify all of the information or “facts” shared.

To those creating - steer clear of AI. Use professional images and cite your sources/ask permission/pay the artist. It’s more work, but ensures you’re posting high-quality and accurate (and ethical!!) information.

Just for fun: pick one presentation shown and describe what’s wrong with it! I’ll go first:

In a face/brow presentation the baby’s head has lost most, if not all, of its flexion allowing the heand and neck to extend (brining the back of the head towards the shoulders and the chin extending forward). The image shows a head that is less flexed than “normal” but not extended. Also in the image shown the baby has a leg/foot for an arm and what looks like an arm without a hand where the legs should be 🥴

Hello & Welcome

My name is Meagan, and I am doula who provides birth and postpartum services to mothers and their families in southeastern Virginia. I am also a stay at home mother, sole owner of Beltane Birth Services LLC, and a proud military spouse who understands the unique challenges and hardships that military families can be faced with when having a new baby.

I began my journey as a doula in 2012 after the birth of my first child. Having struggled through years of infertility, my husband and I were thrilled to finally be in the delivery room and were filled with the excitement and anticipation at the prospect of meeting our baby. Unfortunately, despite my best efforts to educate myself as much as possible for my labor and delivery, this first birth was not the joyful experience I had played out in my head over, and over during the many years we fought to get pregnant. Our child's birthday ended with her being rushed to the local Children's Hospital NICU where she remained on a high frequency ventilator for three weeks while I was left with substantial birth injuries to recover from.

After our daughter was returned home healthy, I began dealing with my emotional and physical trauma. I took it upon myself to research and study everything I could about fertility, pregnancy and the labor and delivery process. This path of healing and discovery has led me to find my true calling as a member of the birth community.

I am now the mother of three beautiful children, two of which were born in the presence of an amazing doula, and in August of 2017 I began the process of becoming a certified Birth Doula through DONA International and earned my certification through them in April 2019. In October of 2018 I started cross-training with the Madriella Doula Network and earned my Birth Doula Certification through them in November, 2018. I am currently certified through the Madriella Doula Network as a Professional Doula as well as a certified Madriella Childbirth Educator. I feel truly blessed and honored to be on this path. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your story.
