"If you have the resources for a doula, it is among my strongest recommendations for birth."
Thank you Emily Oster! Yes, it's true. The evidence is clear that having a doula has many positive effects.

What's behind one the best-established pieces of evidence in maternity care?

What a beautiful story! Imagine every First Nation having their own Birth Center one day.

Kehewin Cree Nation in northern Alberta, and other First Nations across Canada, are breathing new life into thousands of years of birthing traditions by training Indigenous midwives so they can deliver babies in their communities.

So true!
I have clients put a little pillow in the back of the toilet so they can completely relax and let the work happen.

Thank you for visiting my page! Let me introduce myself. I am a mother of 3, avid gardener, runner, and birth nerd. 😊I am passionate about helping expecting parents have an empowering experience in childbirth. During the birth of my first and second children, my plans went off the rails and I did not get the ideal birth experience that I had imagined. However, thanks to some amazing support, I came away from those experiences with a sense of wonder at my body, pride in my strength and resilience, and positive feelings about childbirth. So now I work families to help them prepare mentally and physically to have the best birth they can and support them with continuous care and encouragement during their own birthing times.

Informed consent never looks or sounds like something already in motion. Huge red flag. True informed consent takes hold of the concepts of a conversation. One that explains risks and benefits, leaves room for questions and time to consider, and then the decision is up to the client. With the choice of No being a full one.
