Hope everyone had a great long weekend!

Sorry I’ve been MIA on here! We found we’re expecting our 2nd and I forgot how hard being 🤰 is in that first trimester 🤣🤣 I’m exhausted to say the least!

I won’t be taking on any clients for the next while but I’m still around for any questions you may have 🩷🩷

Understanding the different stages of labor is very beneficial and can create a peace of mind understanding what’s happening & what’s to come.

Folic Acid VS Folate?

I was confused by this when I was searching for the perfect prenatal vitamins!

So here’s the scoop:

Folate is the natural form of Vitamin B9 which is found in our foods like eggs, dark leafy greens, beans, avocados and more! Folic Acid is the synthetic form of Folate, meaning it’s made and added into supplements and other processed foods like some breakfast cereals, flour etc!

Why is folate so important?
- It decreases the risk of neutral tube defects, which are defects of the brain and spinal cord and this can happen when the neutral tube does not properly close in the early development

Our local health food store has some really great prenatal’s OR I also really like the Bird & Be supplements (you can order online).

** of course always speak to your practitioner if your adding in any supplements during your pregnancy**

The thought of labour can consume you from the day you find out you’re pregnant, it’s a common theme I see!
Instead of fearing labour, let’s turn the thought around and be excited! Why? Well, that moment will bring you closer to your baby, you will feel strong, you will feel love like no other.
Let’s not fear what hasn’t happened yet, instead the best things you can do is educate yourself on the topic in a POSITIVE way, learn the stages of labor and be confident in yourself! 🫶🏻

Understanding how your hormones come into play during labor can be very beneficial!

Today I wanted to focus on Oxytocin, which I’m sure many of you have heard about before ✨

Oxytocin is better known as your feel good hormone💌 it gets released in your body when you’re feeling happy, safe, loved & comfortable.

How does this affect labor? Well oxytocin is what actually stimulates your uterine contractions, therefore playing a huge role!
Oxytocin is your bodies natural version of Pitocin which can be administered through out labor to help progress things along if needed.

See the pic below on ways you can help your bodies natural release of oxytocin 🎉

I have thought about this extensively and I have come to the conclusion that for my birth Doula services I am going to utilize a sliding scale. And what the sliding scale is, is a price range where my client can choose which price they would like to pay.
I believe that every woman deserves to have a Doula if they choose to. I also understand that the idea of spending money on a Doula can be hard.
I want you to pay what you are comfortable with (within the sliding scale) & I will never ask questions or judge you for the amount you choose to pay.
Each price range will receive the exact same support and service, meaning if you choose to pay the lesser amount, you will still receive the same support as someone who may choose to spend a little more.

Hope that makes sense ♥️
If you would like to know the price range please reach out to me!

What is a birth doula & how can I help you?

Long story short, as a birth doula I am there to support you in every way I possibly can. Some women may need the emotional support or physical support & sometimes both!
I will provide evidence based information to ensure your making informed decisions.
When you hire me as a doula I will be there every step of the way! I’m not just there to support you through labor (although that’s a big part), I am there if you need to chat through the days before and after! Making sure you’re comfortable with me, but also your pregnancy journey is very important to me!
