Myth: “Doulas are only for first-time parents.”

Truth: Doulas support parents at every stage of their journey, whether it’s the first, second, or tenth birth.

Experienced parents often find doula support just as valuable as first-time parents do. With each birth comes new dynamics-whether that’s different birth preferences, support needs, or new circumstances. Doulas provide continuous, individualized care tailored to each family’s unique needs, offering comfort, encouragement, and expertise to help navigate every step of the birthing process. Every birth is a new experience, and a doula is there to help make it a positive and supported one.

Did you know that doulas offer sibling support? Many families face the challenge of arranging care for older children during the birth of a new baby. Hiring a doula to provide in-home sibling support can ensure that your partner is fully able to support you throughout your next birth, and both your minds can be at ease with your little ones at home and cared for.

☀️Staying Cool During Pregnancy in the Hot Summer☀️

Pregnancy can be challenging during the sweltering summer months, but there are plenty of ways to keep cool and comfortable. Here are some effective strategies:

💧STAY HYDRATED💧
Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Carry a water bottle with you and sip regularly to prevent dehydration, which can be more common during pregnancy.

👗DRESS LIGHTLY👗
Wear lightweight, breathable clothing made of natural fabrics like cotton or linen. Loose-fitting outfit’s can help air circulate and keep you cooler.

🧊COOL COMPRESS🧊
Use a cool, damp cloth on your forehead, neck, or wrists to quickly cool down. You can also keep a spray bottle filled with water in the fridge for a refreshing mist.

☀️AVOID PEAK SUN HOURS☀️
Try to stay indoors during the hottest parts of the day, usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you need to go out, seek shade, use an umbrella or wear a hat.

🍉EAT HYDRATING SNACKS🍉
Enjoy hydrating snacks like watermelon, cucumbers, and oranges. These not only help keep you cool but also provide essential vitamins and minerals. Avoid caffeine as it can dehydrate you, making it harder to stay cool.

Additional things you can try:

🪭Use Fans and Air Conditioning🪭
Make use of fans and air conditioning to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. A portable fan can be handy for quick relief.

👗Cool Showers and Baths🛁
Taking cool (not cold) showers or baths can help lower your body temperature. Even splashing your face with cold water can be refreshing.

🥗Eat Light Meals🥗
Opt for smaller, more frequent meals instead of large, heavy ones. Eating light can prevent you from feeling overheated and sluggish.

💪Stay Active Wisely💪
Exercise indoors or early in the morning when it’s cooler. Swimming is an excellent option as it keeps you active while helping you stay cool.

🛌Cool Bedding🛌
Use lightweight, breathable bedding and consider using a cooling pillow or a gel mat that stays cool throughout the night.

We hope these tips help you can stay cool and comfortable throughout the hot summer months, ensuring both you and your baby remain healthy and happy.

A GUIDE TO: EARLY LABOUR.

Early labour is an important part of the birth process. If we think of labour as a marathon, early labour would be the night before. During this phase, contractions are likely to be more mild and further apart. The goal of early labour is to rest as much as possible, encourage oxytocin, and nourish your body so that you can start the marathon of active labour feeling as good as you possibly can.

One of the best ways to ensure that you are calm and rested, is to make an early labour plan during your pregnancy. This way, when the big day arrives, even though you may be feeling nervous and excited, you will be able to reflect back to this plan and remind yourself of the things you need to do to prepare.
