Postpartum

As a doula I was trained in postpartum care, however as a mother to an almost 1 year old I deeply understand postpartum.. The lucky ones go through postpartum and don’t suffer in ways of which I will describe here shortly. Exhaustion, hormone fluctuations, baby blues short lived. All very normal.

I didn’t really notice in the beginning how hard everything was. I was so focused on my love for my daughter and the empowerment and self love I had gained from birthing her. Along with sleep deprivation, I was just so enthralled by my daughter and the deep amount of love shared between her and I. The moments of her on my chest all day in those first few days turned to weeks that I didn’t notice. Until I started to realize, my anxiety was creeping up. I was having intrusive thoughts. Awful ones that I was scared to even speak out loud. Imagery of awful things happening to my daughter. Not by me or her father, but imagery of all the things that could ever happen to her. It filled my mind and I couldn’t make it stop. My anxiety ramped up around 3 months postpartum and really kicked into gear around 6 months. I stopped having intrusive thoughts but my anxiety had turned into full blown panic attacks. I was having panic attacks here and there in the beginning. Once a week turned into a couple times a week, until it turned into 5-6 panic attacks a day and me ending up in the emergency room for what I thought was a stroke.

Would you believe me if I told you all of that is normal? Intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, insomnia, intense and overbearing fear. I experienced all of this and more. I thought I could be okay and meditate like I normally did, practice breathwork. It didn’t work. I prolonged getting help at the beginning because I thought I could manage it. This was far beyond me. It took me until my daughter was 11 months old to finally talk to a doctor and get on medication.

A doula can help guide you to resources. Not only that but we can help be your safe space. You no longer have to worry about expressing these thoughts because as birth workers we are trained to understand that these are normal. Yes postpartum visits can look like chores, but they can also look like a walk in the park while you express how your truly feeling with someone you trust and someone who has been there and truly understands.

One of my intentions this year is to learn new things. One of the things I have selected to learn is embroidery!

Don’t be surprised if my doula clients get a custom embroidery at some point in the future 💁‍♀️

Where it all began, the passion for birth work

I graduated my 6 month long community based doula training December 13th. This was a powerful day because December 13, 2017 was also the day I got sober! I feel like it’s the universe letting me know I have found the path. Birth work has become my passion, a fire has been lit within me. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn amongst my fellow doula sisters and I’m grateful for my husband, my bestfriend who always shows up and my daughter, even tho she was sleeping on my bestie in pics. ❤️

Also, I serve everybody! I have no limits. This is just a selection of communities that need served in the Tulsa area.

Doulas are an investment!

The terms for postpartum depression, anxiety, etc have been formally changed to (PMAD)

We as mommas know postpartum can be a hard time, some women experience severe postpartum disorders while some only have baby blues in the beginning. Some women have intrusive thoughts, some don’t, these things are all normal. Your doula can help you navigate these truly vulnerable parts of afterbirth. A doula in your corner is someone you can trust with these things you may experience.
