Roses are red, violets are blue, I survived the night shift… and so can you.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be fancy chocolates or candlelit dinners.

Sometimes it’s celebrating the small wins: a warm cup of coffee, a diaper change that actually went smoothly, or a baby smile that melts your heart. Love is messy, chaotic, and sometimes caffeinated, and that’s exactly how it should be.

Tag someone who deserves a little love (or a lot of caffeine) this Valentine’s Day!

This Black History Month, we honor the women whose names and stories were often erased but whose impact on birth and medical care was profound: Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey. These women were enslaved and subjected to experimental surgeries by a doctor, yet their resilience and endurance laid the groundwork for modern gynecology.

Remembering them is not just about history, it’s about recognizing the strength, courage, and knowledge that Black women have contributed to reproductive care despite unimaginable oppression. Their stories remind us why representation, advocacy, and culturally responsive care are essential today.

Learn their stories, amplify their legacy, and reflect on how it shapes your understanding of care.

Who are the Black birthworkers, past or present, who inspire you?

👉️ Research from 2021-22 found that babies of mothers with doula support were 20% more likely to be exclusively breastfed and there were fewer preterm births among these families.⁠
⁠
👉️ These benefits were consistent across race, socioeconomic status, and insurance type, showing that doula care can make a measurable difference for all families.⁠
⁠
👉️ The study highlights that presence, guidance, and advocacy are not just “nice to have”, they have real health impacts for both parent and child.⁠
⁠
👉️ Key takeaway: Your work in the early postpartum period influences outcomes that extend far beyond the moment.⁠
⁠
👉️ As doulas, the support you provide matters not only emotionally, but physically, shaping the start of a child’s life in meaningful ways.⁠
⁠
A 2021-22 US study examined the broader maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with doula care.⁠
⁠
The research found that infants of mothers who received doula support were about 20% more likely to be exclusively breastfed, and there were 3 to 4 fewer preterm births per 100 doula-supported deliveries. These benefits were consistent across race and insurance status, highlighting that doula care has measurable effects on both infant and maternal health.⁠
⁠
➡️ Key takeaways: doula support strengthens early breastfeeding success, may reduce preterm birth risk, and demonstrates the tangible health value of consistent postpartum care.⁠

Honoring Black Voices in Birth and Postpartum Care

✨️ For centuries, Black midwives, birthworkers, and healers preserved ancestral knowledge despite systemic barriers. Their wisdom laid the foundation for generations of care.

✨️ Today, Black doulas, midwives, and advocates continue to lead, educate, and fight for equitable maternal and infant health outcomes. Their work shapes how care is provided and how communities are supported.

✨️ Black parents face higher maternal mortality rates and limited access to care due to systemic inequities. Honoring Black birthworkers means acknowledging this reality and advocating for change.

➡️ Seek out stories, books, podcasts, and organizations led by Black birthworkers. Listen, learn, amplify their voices, and integrate their teachings into your work and life.

➡️ This month, reflect and engage: Which Black birthworkers, doulas, midwives, or advocates inspire you, and how have they shaped your understanding of care? Share in the comments so we can celebrate and uplift these voices together.

✨️ Black History Month is a time to honor the incredible contributions, resilience, and leadership of Black individuals throughout history and in the context of birth and postpartum care, their voices and work have shaped generations. From midwives and birthworkers who preserved ancestral knowledge through centuries of systemic barriers, to doulas and advocates today working to close disparities in maternal and infant health, Black leaders have taught us the power of care, community, and advocacy.

✨️ Acknowledging this history is more than celebration, it’s a reminder of the work that still needs to be done. Black parents face higher rates of maternal mortality, limited access to care, and systemic inequities. Learning from and supporting Black birthworkers, educating ourselves on these disparities, and amplifying their voices is part of honoring this legacy in action.

👉️ Call to action: This month, seek out the stories, books, podcasts, and organizations led by Black birthworkers and advocates. Listen, learn, support, and share their wisdom.

I’d love to hear from you: Which Black birthworkers, doulas, midwives, or advocates inspire you, and how have they shaped your understanding of care? Share in the comments so we can celebrate and uplift these voices together. ⬇️

The Power of Community in Postpartum Life

➡️ For centuries, new parents were supported by a “village”—grandmothers, sisters, neighbors, and experienced mothers. This shared care offered guidance, help, and emotional support during the early months.

➡️ Modern life often isolates parents from extended networks. Without a village, the postpartum period can feel overwhelming, lonely, or stressful. Community acts as a lifeline.

➡️ Emotional support and validation
Practical help with meals, childcare, and household tasks
Confidence in parenting choices
Resilience and connection for the whole family

➡️ Local postpartum groups, parent circles, online support networks, neighborhood co-ops, or fellow doulas. Even a small consistent support system makes a big difference.

➡️ Take a moment to identify one person or group you can reach out to this week. Comment below: Who or what has been your village, or how are you building one? Let’s grow our communities together.

We often think of postpartum as a personal journey, something that happens between a parent and their baby.

But research, history, and lived experience tell us something different: humans were never meant to navigate these early months alone. The concept of community care, sometimes called the “village approach”, has existed for millennia. Across cultures, new parents were supported by grandmothers, sisters, neighbors, and experienced mothers who shared knowledge, hands-on help, and emotional support.

Today, many of us live in isolated nuclear families, far from extended relatives or the networks that used to provide natural support. And that gap can leave parents exhausted, anxious, or unsure. That’s why community matters, it’s not a luxury, it’s a buffer, a lifeline, and a source of strength.

👉️ A strong community:
Provides emotional validation and reduces stress.
Offers practical support, from meals to childcare to household help.
Encourages confidence in parenting decisions.
Creates resilience and connection that benefits the whole family, including babies.

👉️ You can find community in many forms: local postpartum support groups, parent circles, online communities for new parents, neighborhood co-ops, or among fellow doulas. Even a few trusted, consistent people can make a difference.

👉️ Call to action: Take a moment today to identify one person or group you can reach out to, or one way to deepen your support network.

✨️ I’d love to hear from you:
👉️ What’s the most meaningful way someone has shown up for you during postpartum, or how have you built your village?

We show up fully—physically, emotionally, and mentally—for families navigating some of the most intense, vulnerable moments of their lives. And yet, self-care is often the first thing that gets pushed aside. We want to help, to be present, to fix problems, to comfort. But when we neglect ourselves, we can’t sustain the presence that makes us effective.

Avoiding burnout isn’t about a spa day or a fancy self-care checklist. It’s about creating structures that protect your energy over the long term. Here are some strategies that actually work for doulas:

👉️ Set clear boundaries: Decide when you are available and communicate it to clients upfront. Protect your off-hours as sacred.

👉️ Debrief regularly: Whether with a mentor, fellow doulas, or a therapist, processing emotional experiences helps prevent them from building up.

👉️ Manage expectations: You are not responsible for every outcome. Celebrate your impact, but recognize what is beyond your control.

👉️ Build micro-care routines: Even five minutes of grounding breathing, journaling, or stretching between clients can reset your nervous system.

👉️ Connect with your community: Peer support keeps you grounded. Find people who understand your work and can share the load emotionally.

👉️ Track your energy, not just your time: Notice what drains you vs. what energizes you. Rebalance your caseload or client interactions accordingly.

➡️ Call to action: Take a moment today to ask yourself—what small boundary or practice could I implement this week that would protect my energy and sanity?

✨️ I’d love to hear from you: What’s one thing you do to recharge after an intense birth or postpartum shift? Let’s build a list of real-world, practical strategies for doulas supporting doulas.

➡️ In a study of low-income, racially diverse mothers, doula-led prenatal lactation education increased chestfeeding intention and knowledge and improved early feeding outcomes.

➡️ Mothers who received guidance from a doula were more likely to successfully chestfeed, whether exclusively or supplemented.

➡️ This research demonstrates that the guidance, reassurance, and confidence a doula provides can make a measurable difference in the first days of life.

➡️ Key takeaway: Education combined with relational support empowers parents and can address disparities in care and feeding outcomes.

➡️ As doulas, your knowledge and presence together create the environment for families to trust themselves and succeed.

A study of low-income, racially diverse parents examined the impact of doula-led lactation education.

Participants who received prenatal guidance from doulas had higher chestfeeding intention, greater chestfeeding knowledge, and improved rates of exclusive or supplemented breastfeeding at birth.

Key takeaways: doula support before and after birth influences tangible outcomes like feeding success, education combined with presence empowers parents, and doulas can play a critical role in addressing disparities in chestfeeding support.

Teaching these skills in training programs equips doulas to make lasting impacts in the early postpartum weeks.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?”

As doulas and caregivers, we answer this question daily in ways that often go unseen. Showing up for a family at 2 a.m., offering reassurance during moments of doubt, or simply listening without judgment are acts of service that carry weight far beyond their immediacy.

✨️Today, I reflect on community, equity, and compassion, and the responsibility we all share to create spaces where families are supported, heard, and honored. Postpartum care is one small but significant part of answering that urgent question in real, tangible ways.
