Then, while practicing that with your partner, take an appointment with your doula to discuss the other aspects of labour, like preparing:

Your Birth Preferences (Birth Plan): Discussing where you want to labor, your wishes for pain management, and your preferences for medical interventions and immediate postpartum care.

Physical Comfort Measures: Practicing other hands-on techniques, such as massage, counter-pressure, and optimal laboring positions that work best for you.

Emotional and Mental Readiness: Processing any fears, anxieties, or expectations you have, and building confidence in your ability to give birth.

Advocacy and Communication: Strategizing how to clearly communicate your needs and preferences to the hospital staff and ensuring your voice is heard throughout the process.

Partner Support Techniques: Reviewing your partner's specific role—beyond breathing—including when to offer encouragement, when to step in for a rest, and how to best support you physically.

This comprehensive discussion with your doula will ensure you and your partner are prepared for all facets of the experience.

There’s a term in child development circles called The Father Effect.

It refers to the lifelong benefits for children who grow up with an engaged, present, loving father.

We’re talking about real outcomes here:

Higher IQs and stronger language development
Fewer behavioral and psychological struggles
Better friendships, deeper emotional security
Stronger boundaries and a clearer sense of self
More stable future relationships
Lower risk of addiction, crime, and depression
It’s not a theory. It’s measurable. It has been studied across cultures, communities, and generations. And you know where it starts? Postpartum.

That wild, sleepless, beautiful, disorienting time when everything is raw and real and there’s no room to fake it That’s the moment when a father becomes either a ghost, or an anchor.︎

When a man is handed a child and isn’t just told “be helpful,” but is given clear, sacred responsibility—something changes in him:
He slows down.
He begins to notice.
He learns to hold his partner through the blood and tears and milk and magic.
He becomes a man who can attune.
He becomes a Father.

When a father really shows up in postpartum, he doesn’t just support his partner. He builds the foundation of his child’s entire inner world.

What No One Tells You About Postpartum...

If you don't know that you don't know something, how can you go in search of it?

YOU CANNOT.

We can only go in search of: That which we KNOW we don't know.

Hence the conundrum of the postpartum time in the modern day world. Most pregnant families don't know that they don't know - when it comes to the postpartum time (planning for the postpartum time and RECEIVING postpartum care).

Here's my free advertising moment, I am not getting paid for that, it is only that I admire Rachelle Garcia Seliga's work:
What No One Tells You About Postpartum—Until It’s Too Late
A FREE, live, online class for expecting Moms and Dads
This Friday, September 19th at 9:30am Pacific / 12:30pm Eastern

Ask any parent who’s been through it: Birth is intense. AND - even when birth is intense and long, at most, it lasts a few days.

But what happens AFTER birth, truly reshapes your life, for life.

Sleep disappears. Roles shift. Emotions flood.
And suddenly, the center of your world needs round-the-clock care—while you’re recovering from the biggest change of your life.

Postpartum is a wild, sacred, and misunderstood chapter. Most new parents walk in completely blind. The free class pulls back the curtain.

We’ll share about:
What actually happens after birth— physically, emotionally, relationally

The 5 things most families wish they’d known beforehand
Why dads are the hidden key to postpartum sanity and success
And what a real, loving postpartum looks and feels like

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a wake-up call—and a map.

Whether you’re expecting your first baby or already walking this path, come learn what no one told us… and walk into the fourth trimester with your eyes wide open.

You can get this information now online, and if I am your doula we will also have this discussion. Postpartum is better prepared.

Waiting to see the Speculum redesigned.

The va**nal speculum: cold, hard, metallic and painful.
It's a tool used daily in gynecological exams, every day, worldwide.

But two engineers in the Netherlands are now reimagining it. This time, with the patient in focus, not the doctor.

The ‘modern’ speculum was created in 1845 by a U.S. doctor, James Marion Sims. According to one of the engineers, it was tested on enslaved women without their consent — another reason they see redesigning the speculum as vital.

But why is the speculum so painful? The reason is simple: the adjustment mechanism pushes against muscles. As the metal device is inserted, the doctor can widen it once it's inside the va**na, regardless of the pain this causes.

This is yet another example of how women are mistreated in the medical system — where necessary changes to women’s health tools take literal centuries.

Women’s reproductive health matters, and revisiting instruments that cause so much pain is a crucial step forward.
