Can doulas shorten labour length?

Many Nigerian moms will tell you that labour can be long and draining. Some women spend over 48 hours in pain, moving from one position to another, while family members sit outside helpless. The stress alone can make labour feel even longer than it is.

Research has shown that having continuous support during labour (like from a doula) can actually help reduce how long labour lasts. Why? Because when a woman feels calm, safe, and supported, her body works better. A doula helps with massage, breathing, changing positions(that matters), and encouragement—things that relax your body and make contractions more effective. Studies show women with doulas are more likely to have shorter labours, fewer medical interventions, and a smoother birth experience.

So, can doulas shorten labour? 👣 Yes—sometimes in hours, but always in how the experience feels. With a doula by your side, you are not left to struggle alone. You have someone who knows what to do, who stays with you, and who helps make labour more manageable, natural, and empowering.

As we wrap up this month, I just want to pause and celebrate every mama on this breastfeeding journey; whether you’ve been exclusively breastfeeding, combo-feeding, pumping, or you’ve had to stop earlier than you planned. 💕

Breastfeeding is not always easy. It takes patience, support, and a lot of love. Some days flow smoothly, and some days feel like a battle. But through it all, one thing remains: you are showing up for your baby in the best way you can. 🤱

This August may be ending, but the encouragement continues. Keep seeking knowledge, keep leaning on your support system, and remember: every drop, every attempt, every cuddle counts. 🥰🥰🥰

Hugs to strong mothers, thriving babies, and every communities that supports them.

👩🏽‍🍼 Who really needs a doula?

Let’s be honest, pregnancy in Nigeria is not easy. From endless advice coming from every aunty and neighbours, to doctors and nurses who barely have enough time to explain things.
Many women go through pregnancy feeling confused, scared, and alone. Labour day comes, and instead of feeling supported, some women end up overwhelmed, in pain, and not knowing what to do or say.

That’s where a doula comes in. A doula is not a doctor or midwife, but someone who stands by you with comfort, knowledge, and care. We help you breathe through contractions, show you positions that ease pain, massage your back when the cramps feel like too much, and remind you that you are stronger than you think. We also help you understand your options and speak up when you need your voice heard. You’re not left to figure it all out by yourself.

So, who really needs a doula? 👣 Any mom who wants support, peace of mind, and a birth experience she can look back on with joy. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, whether you’re giving birth in a hospital or at home, having someone by your side who listens and cares for you makes all the difference. 💛

Meet the hormone of love and labour: Oxytocin! Often called the "love hormone,".

Momma B 🥰 often tells me to remind Moms that what got baby in there can get them out. So true!
Oxytocin plays a vital role in childbirth, promoting contractions, bonding, and feelings of calm and connection. Let's explore how to nurture its power before and during labour.

Here are 5 ways to stimulate oxytocin release during labour:

1. *Sound:*
* Listen to calming music or nature sounds
* Hear the soothing voice of your husband or loved one
* Listen to scriptures, affirmations or positive words, such as "I am strong and capable".

*2. Sight:*
* Gaze lovingly at your husband or support person
* Visualize your baby moving down the birth canal, imagining a smooth and easy delivery
* Recall sweet memories of your pregnancy journey, your baby's ultrasound, or special moments with your husband

*3. Smell or Scent:*
* Inhale calming scents like lavender or peppermint oil
* Use aromatherapy to create a relaxing atmosphere
* Walk in a garden and breathe free air.

*4. Touch:*
* Receive gentle massage or counter-pressure from your husband
* Enjoy skin-to-skin contact or holding hands with your husband
* Feel the reassuring touch of your healthcare provider

*5. Taste:*
* Small sips of water or ice chips to stay hydrated
* Enjoy smoothies like fruit blends or yogurt-based drinks
* Have comforting treats like tea and crackers.

Remember, Oxytocin played a role to get baby in, and yes, it does play a role to bring them out.

👣 Why I Do What I Do as a Doula & Childbirth Educator

I discovered a unique but heartbreaking problem around us;
👣Too many mothers and babies face mortality, morbidity, near-miss complications, unnecessary fear, pain, and ignorance in pregnancy, labour, and postpartum.

👣I trained as a Doula and Childbirth Educator, called to walk alongside women and families, offering the knowledge, comfort, and faith-based support they need. I also bring the hope and strength I’ve found as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ into every session and birth journey.

👣I teach Childbirth Education Classes (virtually and in-person) to help families prepare with confidence.

👣I offer labour support in-person and online, so no mother feels alone, afraid, or unprepared.

👣I provide counseling, encouragement, and practical tools for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Whether you’re preparing for your first birth, hoping for a Vaginal Birth After Ceaseran, or simply seeking knowledge and encouragement, I’m here to serve you.

🌿 Breastfeeding: God’s Perfect Design 🌿

Breastfeeding is more than just feeding a baby. It is God’s natural way of nourishing, bonding, and comforting. Every drop of breast milk carries not only nutrients but also love, safety, and closeness that your baby longs for.

🤱🏾 It strengthens your baby’s immunity.
💞 It deepens your connection as mother and child.
🙏 It reminds us that God equips women with everything needed to nurture life.

To every mother on this journey; you are doing a beautiful, holy work. Whether it feels easy or challenging, know that each attempt is a gift to your little one.

Today, let’s celebrate breastfeeding as part of God’s amazing design for motherhood.

🌸 August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month 🌸

One of the biggest keys to a smooth breastfeeding journey is a good latch and yet, many new mothers are not told how to notice the difference between proper and improper latching.

💡 Why it matters:
A proper latch means your baby feeds effectively, gains well, and you will be able to avoid sore, cracked ni***es.
An improper latch can lead to pain, low milk transfer, and frustration for both mom and baby.

✨ Signs of a Proper Latch:

Baby’s mouth covers more of the ar**la below the ni**le than above

Chin touches your breast, nose is clear

No clicking or kpam! kpam! sounds

You feel a gentle tugging, not sharp pain

🚫 Signs of an Improper Latch:

Lips tucked in instead of flanged outward

Only the ni**le is in the baby’s mouth

Painful feeding, pinching feeling

Baby slips off easily or seems unsatisfied

This month, let’s support breastfeeding moms by sharing tips, encouragement, and real-life experiences about getting that latch right. 💕

📷 Drop a comment if you’d like me to share a simple step-by-step latch guide.

August is the month of Breastfeeding!

We will be sharing amazing tips with you until the end of August.

Here are 5 key benefits of breastfeeding for the baby:

1. Boosts Immunity: Breast milk contains antibodies that help protect babies from infections and illnesses like colds, diarrhea, and pneumonia.

2. Perfect Nutrition: It provides all the essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals a baby needs for healthy growth and development.

3. Supports Brain Development: The fatty acids in breast milk, especially DHA, aid in brain and nervous system development.

4. Reduces Risk of Chronic Diseases: Breastfed babies have a lower risk of developing asthma, allergies, obesity, and type 2 diabetes later in life.

5. Promotes Bonding and Emotional Security: The close skin-to-skin contact during breastfeeding nurtures emotional connection and helps regulate the baby’s stress and sleep.
