Spent the afternoon snuggling this sweet postpartum babe, and my heart is so full. 💙
I’ve been here since the moment he entered the world, and watching him grow, stretching, cooing, settling into his family never stops feeling sacred.
This is one of the greatest honors of postpartum work: continuity, trust, and being a familiar presence in such tender days.

BIRTH ISN’T BROKEN!
And it doesn’t automatically need fixing.

Labor is a physiological process, guided by hormones that work best when the birthing person feels safe, supported, and un-rushed.

When we jump in too early with interventions, we can accidentally interrupt that natural flow, sometimes making labor longer, harder, or more painful.

That doesn’t mean interventions are bad. Sometimes they’re truly needed and life-saving. But physiological birth deserves space first.

Things that support the body doing what it already knows how to do:
✨ Moving freely
✨ Feeling calm and respected
✨ Trusting your body’s timing
✨ Support instead of pressure

Birth works best when we stop trying to control it and start supporting it. ❤️

Save this if you’re pregnant.
Share it if you support birthing families.

This year stretched me, grounded me, and affirmed my calling. I supported six births, walked alongside four postpartum families (including two that began as birth clients), completed my placenta encapsulation certification, and became approved to accept Medicaid; a meaningful step toward accessible support.

And the work continues! 2026 is already in motion, with a February client signed and a May client pending. I’m endlessly grateful for the families who welcomed me into their journey, and I’m excited for what’s ahead ❤️ soothingpresencebirthservices.com #2026

As pregnancy progresses, sleeping on your left side can improve blood flow to your uterus and baby.
Using a pillow between your knees or under your belly helps keep your pelvis aligned and eases pressure on your lower back.
Comfort + circulation = better rest for you and baby.

There are a lot of reasons this can happen; staffing changes, scheduling pressures, and the desire (on both sides) to plan around holiday timelines. While inductions and C-sections can be lifesaving and absolutely necessary in many situations, they’re not always medically urgent.

This is your gentle reminder:
🤍 You always have the right to ask questions
🤍 You deserve time to make informed decisions
🤍 “Is this medically necessary right now?” is a valid question

Birth doesn’t follow a calendar and your body and baby deserve individualized care, no matter the season. Having support and knowing your options can make all the difference.

If you’re expecting around the holidays, let’s talk through your preferences and make sure you feel confident advocating for yourself!
