Hearing “hi Hays! I’m SO glad that you’re their doula!” From the medical team when I walk into the birth room, will NEVER get old 🥰 it truly means the world to me that I have built a solid, positive reputation with clients AND medical providers over the last 5 years!

Yesterday was my own birthday and my mom pulled out my birth photos that I hadn’t seen before! I was a home birth baby myself 34 years ago and I think it’s really cool to get a glimpse into what that day looked like.

My mom laboring outside with my brother attached to a leash while he ran around (he was 15 months old). My grandma and dad supporting my mom with the midwife near by. And little ol’ me making my appearance at 11:47pm in my parents bed. 🥰 happy birthday to me!

I’m often more accessible to connect to than your medical provider can be. I’m not medical, but I do know a lot about pregnancy, birth, newborns, and lactation.

I can tell you what’s considered normal, and also what things you definitely seek medical guidance for. I won’t give you medical advice, but I can provide guidance on non medical issues in a timely manner. That means that you get peace of mind sooner!

For example, you’ve just brought your new baby home and you’re having trouble being able to tell how much milk your baby is eating. Instead of calling the triage line and getting a phone tree runaround, or waiting till office hours the next day, you can text or call me to talk it through! I will ask some clarifying questions, let you know what to look for, or tips on how to navigate the situation to bridge the gap till you’re able to speak to your pediatrician or lactation consultant.

That peace of mind is priceless! And I’m happy to help ❤️

In birth, oxytocin is the name of the game.

Also called the love hormone, it’s what facilitates labor contractions. The best ways to release oxytocin are by connecting with your partner and ni**le stimulation. Often these things alone can bring on stronger more frequent contractions!

I’ve been very busy behind the scenes lately with photo shoots, editing, and trying to squeeze in a little more outdoor fun before the snow hits, so I haven’t been posting much. But I wanted to share this maternity shoot I did in August 😍

My doula bestie is sick as a dog right now, so when her clients water broke, she called me to step in. Life happens, and I’m so thankful that we have each other when it does!

So happy birthday to TWO adorable di-di twins! They were born vaginally this evening to a super badass mom who advocated like hell to have the birth she desired! 👏

Lately I’ve had an influx of photography sessions of all types and it makes me SO happy. I adore all my clients, and care deeply about them and their families, so I also love getting to capture their precious memories too!

This month I’ve done maternity photos x2, birth photos x2, newborn photos x2, and family photos for repeat clients x2! I’ve been very busy editing!

Providence let me into the OR for a Csection again! This is the second time, and I’m so thrilled I still got to support my clients during their birth experience! 😁🥰 the nurse even mentioned that it’s super rare, and remembers me from the last time! Happy birthday baby L, your momma is fierce and so strong! You’ve got 4 brothers excited to meet you, welcome to the world! ☺️

This week I had the honor to go to Homer, AK for a beautiful and powerful birth. I really enjoyed getting to work at their hospital, I was pleasantly surprised at how awesome their staff and facility was! They even had a giant tub 😌 That birth was an excellent reminder that labor doesn’t always follow the textbook, or even make sense sometimes 😆 photos in order from when I got there at 6:30am, a baby was born, and then leaving town at 9:30pm! So gorgeous 🥰

Physical activity during pregnancy…can seem like a joke when you’re always tired, your body feels different, and you can’t breathe very well with little feet in your diaphragm 😆

That’s partly why I don’t like calling it “exercise”, which comes with a connotation of intense aerobic activity.

Rather; stretch, move, walk, do gentle yoga. Move your body in ways that feel good for at least 20 minutes a day.

If it feels good to continue to match your pre pregnancy activity level (like this badass momma) then do! But it’s generally not a good idea to increase activity or make gains during pregnancy.

Moving your body decreases pain/ discomforts, increases blood flow, releases endorphins, and benefits your ability to move during labor!

How do you feel about physical activity during pregnancy?
