Love. Oxytocin. Release.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is the best feeling on Earth.

Cheesy baby!!

Let’s talk vernix caseosa! A thick white cheesy material which starts to appear around 20 weeks gestation and covers most of your baby by 32 weeks gestation. The amount will increase with gestational age until full term.

Vernix helps your baby’s skin stay moist and protect it from amniotic fluid, which contain high levels of fetal urine. It may be present at birth. It can act as a thick, slippery lubricator to encourage baby to pass down the birth canal during labor.

Vernix coating on your baby at birth protects newborn skin and facilitates extra-uterine adaptions of your baby’s skin in the first week of life. Vernix contains antioxidants as well as antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.

It is important to rub the vernix caseosa into skin like lotion rather than wash it off.

Happy birthing y’all!

Squishy babe!

Let’s talk about pushing! Mother led pushing. Following the primal instinct to bring your baby earth side. *This scenario will be uninterrupted, no intervention birth. **You can still experience one, some, all or none of this with or without intervention.

The rest. Sometimes after transition or complete dilation, birthing people may experience a rest. Contractions can slow. This is a natural way for your body to take a break before pushing! Fall into this feeling and breathe. I’ve seen some birthing people sleep during this “resting phase”! At a hospital they may instruct you to start pushing if you are dilated to 10cm even though you have no urge to push. If you’d like, tell them you’d like to wait until you are ready!

The urge to push: baby is able to descend without pushing, you may experience shaking legs, increase in bloody show, extreme re**al pressure, bearing down, membranes rupture, expulsive grunt upon exhalation, etc. Trust your body and your journey!

Positioning your body: can be upright, keeping your body in alignment, legs should be parallel, pelvis should be free & find what is comfortable for you in the moment!

When pushing, focus on the muscles surrounding your vaginal canal (pelvic floor muscles)-practice by imagining you are pushing out a tampon. Follow the urge to push during a contraction. This is the time in which you get to utilize the contractions by more action. This action of pushing can feel good! You know when to push (during the contractions) and when not to push. You feel confident and in control.

When your baby’s head is right at your perineum, slow down and breathe. Trust. You will be flooded with hormones to help cope with this “ring of fire” stretch you may feel of the vaginal/perineal tissue.

In a hospital setting this can be hard to accomplish yet can be done if no intervention is needed. Tell your doctor in prenatal visits and when you arrive to the hospital that you would like mother led pushing. Having your voice be heard is important. Ask your partner or doula to be that voice when you need it for yourself.

Happy pushing y’all!

So many families ask about how toddlers react to being with the family while the birthing person is in labor. Let me tell you, it’s a fantastic experience for the entire family to be together through this journey!

It’s so empowering to be apart of positive birth stories. A positive birth comes from being educated, primal, supported and calm. To grow up with the primal knowledge of birth can change lives forever and give ease to when the child is grown and ready to start their family!

This is such a beautiful and strong family!!

Shout out to all the amazing fathers and/or partners! The bond between the babe and the partner can be so precious.

Skin to skin with no cologne or perfume on is important . This helps the child to recognize the smell and texture of that person. *Also, as the non-lactating parent, hold your child in an upright position or a different position than the child’s normal way of breastfeeding, so the child does not think he/she will be getting milk. Distinguishing between who has milk and who doesn’t can help the child be more calm while being held.

Sometimes the birthing person can pump milk and allow the partner to feed the babe via bottle. This helps to bond the partner and babe and give the birthing person a rest!

Baby wraps are also a great way for partners to bond with their child!

Keep being awesome y’all!

How cute is this little man? I LOVE postpartum visits!

Even with challenges faced, birthing families are persevering. This family was prepared for birth, remembered their voices and rights, set up their postpartum journey to how they’d like with low visitations and a meal train. I am so impressed. I look at them now and think, “They have a flow that runs with the energy of their own destiny.”

Here in our small county, policy regarding COVID-19 has been inconsistent with the only two hospitals available here. One will allow certified doulas as health care paraprofessionals (with pre-approval) and the other hospital will not. There are locks on the windows at the hospital that will not allow doulas. Unfortunately, this is off putting. On the upside, most of the nurses and doctors are FANTASTIC!!

Holistic child birthing classes, prenatal, birth and postpartum doulas, lactation consultants and many more are still pushing for birthing families (pun intended 🤍) to be well educated, prepared, confident and trusting of their own personal journey.

A beautiful baby boy joined us this morning at 9:22 AM after mom being in labor for only 4 hours!!

☀️This birth reminded me of the power you have. The voice you have. Sometimes we need someone to be that voice. Doulas can be that person for you and your family during your birth!

☀️I am thankful for all who made it possible for doulas to be attending hospital births again. I am so thrilled to be supporting birth in action once more!

☀️If you are pregnant or going to be, think about hiring a doula! The evidence is out there y’all! Having a doula at your birth could be just what you need.
