To the moms in the middle of the sleepless nights, the endless snack requests, the pumping sessions, the school pickups, the healing, the growing, the worrying, and the loving so deeply it hurts sometimes…happy Mother’s Day. 🤍

Whether this is your first Mother’s Day, your fifteenth, or a day that feels complicated and tender, you deserve to be celebrated.

You are doing an incredible job, even on days it doesn’t feel like it!

We are so excited that in less than 14 hours the doors will be opening to our amazing event!

As a team Sarah Hughes, Lori Post and Michelle Cruz have been working on this for a year straight. Long hours, calls, drives across town and emailing litereally everyone in the birth world to bring the EXPO to the Austin Parenting and birth comunity.

We want to highlight the sponsors that have given back to the Doulas by supporting this event with either funds, in kind donations or support. We litereally cannot do this with out you.

The origins of the Birth and Parenting Expo are humble and honest. Years spent as "Doula Share", with education as its focus. The continued focus is on education and now bridging the gap between resources, education, community partners, and the doula community. Thank you to the founders of Central Texas Doula Association for starting such a phenomenal project that has now turned into the largest event CTDA has ever hosted.

Thank you again to Texas Childrens Hospital Austin Campus for inviting us to use this beautiful space and encouraging doulas to attend births at your hospital!

Ok! So enough crying! Everyone have a solid dinner, take your cup of tea and book, and head to bed! We can't wait to see you all in the morning!

Schedule for tomorrow's event!

Now, let's meet the main host for this year's event and mastermind behind getting all of these amazing folks under one roof:
Sarah Hughes

Hello! I am Sarah Hughes, a birth doula, childbirth educator, and student midwife in North Austin. I am fiercely passionate about educating families about their options, so everyone feels empowered to make the choices right for them. Central Texas has such an amazing birth community. It has been an honor to bring these incredible perinatal professionals and experts together to share a bit of our expertise with families in our community. It is shaping up to be our best expo yet, we hope to see you there!

She has been instrumental in supporting the EXPO from its early days as Doula Share into this new model. If you see her at the even please be sure to give her a high five, hug and a thank you.
