It’s a blessing to hold space for mothers and families in this season…
now I’m back in it too.

Holding myself a little differently this time.

Birth asks us to accept support and also to meet ourselves. There is strength in being held, and power in knowing when to go inward.

This is where trust lives. This is where transformation begins.

If today feels heavy, please know you’re not alone. 💛

That “cm number” gets all the attention, but it’s one piece of the puzzle.

When your care provider says “you’re 2 cm” or “you’re 8 cm,” a cervical check can actually tell 4 helpful things:
✨ Dilation (0–10 cm)
✨ Effacement (how thin/short the cervix is)
✨ Station (how high/low baby is in the pelvis)
✨ Baby’s position (OA/OP/OT, etc.)

Here’s why that matters: two people can both be “5 cm” and have totally different labors unfolding. Position + station can definitely affect comfort (hello, back pressure), how baby rotates, and how smoothly pushing goes.

And a reminder you deserve to hear:
You can’t force baby into a certain position, but you can definitely support the conditions for progress + comfort (movement, position changes, peanut ball, partner coaching, rebozo, etc.). This is often where doula support can make a huge difference.

If you agree to an exam, should ask:
✅ “What about effacement?”
✅ “What station is baby at?”
✅ “Is baby OA/OP/OT?”
✅ “What does this mean all together?”

Comment FULL PICTURE and I’ll send you my “Questions to Ask Your Care Provider” list to save to your phone. 🤍

Birth is vulnerable. It’s powerful. It’s deeply personal.

Being invited into that space is never something I take lightly.

Thank you, Malissa, for trusting me as your doula and for sharing these words. 🤍

If you’ve ever Googled “Is this normal?” at 2am… this one’s for you. 💛

Here are my Doula-Approved Top 5 parenting books, the ones I recommend because they’re practical, grounding, and actually help you understand what’s happening underneath the behaviour.

📚 In this list you’ll find:
✨ tools for big feelings + boundaries
✨ support for tantrums, transitions, and resistance
✨ a mindset shift from reacting → responding
✨ and a bonus: two beautiful reads that make drop-offs + bedtime a bit easier (hello separation anxiety 🥹)

Which one are you starting with — #1, #3, #4, or #5?

January 1, 2026.

A new year. A new book. Chapter one, page one.

So allow me to properly reintroduce myself.
I’m Anab, a Full-Spectrum Doula, Lactation Coach, Infant Nutrition Enthusiast, and Perinatal Mental Health Advocate, and the heart behind Thrive Nest Doula Services. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and the tender season after baby arrives with calm, evidence-based, deeply human care.

Thrive Nest Doula Services exists because I believe care should feel steady, intentional, and rooted, not rushed, not overwhelming, and never impersonal.

I’m so grateful for the families who trust me with some of life’s most intimate moments, and for the ones who haven’t found me yet.

Welcome to the beginning of an exciting year ahead 🤍

✨ This weekend filled my cup ✨

I got to spend time with my amazing Doula Connect crew, celebrating the lovely Laura with an intimate baby shower, laughing until my jowls actually hurt, doing crafts, debriefing recent birth experiences, and just bonding in the most beautiful way.

It was so uplifting and exactly what my heart needed. I’m so thankful for this wonderful group of ladies 💛

Thank you for always creating a safe space for us to connect🫂

Malissa’s birth was filled with the most beautiful energy , energetic music, gentle laughter, and a calm strength that carried her through every wave. Surrounded by love and faith, she gave more than she thought she had, and in the stillness of dawn, her baby was placed on her chest. The room was overflowing with joy, peace, and gratitude.

✨ Every birth has its own rhythm, and this one was a true reminder of the sacred strength within.
