As a postpartum doula, these are the foundations I always come back to with how I support families.

But my ultimate goal for all is true NOURISHMENT, in all ways ❤️.

And also knowing that nourishment, support, and care come in so many different ways for different families, and how beautiful that is.

Inviting you to come up with your own list of priorities to build your postpartum experience. What would you add to this list?

The very real and honest truth that in postpartum (and parenthood! And life!) that there is no right or wrong.

Amidst the noise, the voices, the expert discussions, everything can very quickly become too loud and too much.

There can be judgement, comparison, worries, fears of getting it ‘wrong’.

BUT please please please check in with yourself. Beyond all of the noise and chatter is the simple fact that every family is unique and there will be a right way for each family, and that right way will look so different for everyone. There is no hierarchy. Be kind to yourself and others as we are all doing the best we can with what we’ve got.

Inviting you to tune out the noise and tune into yourself, your family, your baby. And to really Know and Trust that your worth as a parent does not rely on doing everything to the impossible (and contradictory) standards of society.

You’ve got this. Your best is enough. Be kind to yourself 💪 ♥️

Please see this important notice for pregnant individuals in the NH region, on behalf of the Department of Obstetrics at University Hospital of Northern BC. Connect with your primary maternity care provider about your upcoming birth plans, and if you are pregnant and don't yet have a provider, get connected to prenatal care via NH Virtual Clinic, or the Urgent Primary Care Centre (UPCC) in Prince George.

Pregnancy, birth, postpartum are big events! Along with all the body changes and fluctuations also can come so many feelings. Maybe there is joy and happiness, and there may also be confusion, shock, fear, anger, overwhelm or sadness. Please know that there is no right or wrong way to feel, ever. You can feel in love with your baby AND feel sad/disappointed/fearful at the same time. All are welcome and valid.

Plus- the single greatest hormone drop of your life happens postpartum day 3 so really feelings are so expected. Embrace the tears, they are your body’s way of releasing (they literally contain cortisol!). All the feelings (esp first few weeks) are not a sign of failure or something is wrong, they are part of this magical/transformational/soul-stretching time.

I encourage you to anticipate their arrival and invite you to plan for a way for your feelings to be lovingly heard by someone you love. Even just journaling can release from your body so you don’t have to hold onto them ❤️

At held & whole there will always be space for all of the feelings. All of you is welcome ❤️

During the first few weeks you will (hopefully) be spending a lot of time at home. How can you make your home a place of refuge, nourishment and calm? Where can you set yourself up in your home to maximize rest and coziness and set yourself up with a little ‘baby bubble’?

Knowing that everyone is unique, tune into your needs and what helps you feel supported and calm? Maybe it’s having loving friends or family visit, maybe it’s peace and quiet and space to just soak in your new family member? Or maybe a home-cooked meal, a warm soothing bath, a massage OR just a really nice big hug?

Postpartum is a time where the needs of mom and baby take priority. Check in with yourself and a see how it feels to claim that space for yourself. Does it feel delicious, nourishing and relaxing? Or maybe it feels indulgent and selfish?

There is no right or wrong here but it is worth recognizing our stories around self care. And if necessary or desired, changing our mindset about our worthiness in getting our needs met.

Sending love to all the pregnant and postpartum people, it’s such a big time ❤️
