Have your birth, your way!👶🏻

09/16/2025

Birth is raw, unpredictable, and deeply personal. Whether you chose pain relief, had a planned C-section, changed your mind in the moment, or are still unpacking how it all unfolded—you are not alone. You don’t need to justify your decisions or your feelings. Your story still matters. Your strength still stands. Let’s normalize every version of birth.

As labor approaches, subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) signs may start to show—backaches, stronger Braxton Hicks, a shift in energy, or even the famous “nesting” urge. These changes are your body’s quiet way of saying, “We’re getting closer.” ⏳

You don’t need to decode every twinge alone. At Aspen Doula, I’m here to support you through every stage—physically, emotionally, and with total reassurance.

That first hour after birth isn’t just magical—it’s biologically designed for bonding, healing, and connection. Skin-to-skin contact during this time helps regulate baby’s heart rate, temperature, and breathing, while also encouraging the first latch and boosting oxytocin (the love hormone) for both parent and baby.

It’s more than a sweet moment—it’s a powerful foundation for breastfeeding, attachment, and emotional recovery. Advocate for it. Protect it. Savor it. You and your baby deserve this sacred start.

Checking in regularly with yourself during pregnancy isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential. At Aspen Doula, I believe that tuning into your body, emotions, and needs helps you build a deeper connection with your baby and supports your overall well-being.

Pregnancy is a journey of many changes, and taking moments to pause, reflect, and ask for support keeps you grounded and empowered every step of the way. Remember, your feelings and experiences matter—and I’m here to hold space for you through it all.

Let’s talk real postpartum recovery. 🕊️ It’s not all cuddles and baby photos—it’s bleeding, exhaustion, emotional waves, and a body that needs time and care to heal.

I’m here to normalize the messy, beautiful, in-between and remind you: you’re not alone, and you’re doing better than you think. 💛

Hiring a doula is about finding someone who makes you feel seen, heard, and supported — not just during birth, but in the entire journey leading up to it 🤍

But here’s the thing: not every doula is the right fit for every birthing person. And that’s okay. Trusting your instincts is just as important as asking the right questions. If something feels off, if you don’t feel truly listened to, or if you sense your choices won’t be fully respected — that matters. Birth is deeply personal. Your support team should honor that.

Why does having a doula matter? Because support changes everything. 🤍

Studies show that births with doulas are linked to shorter labors, fewer interventions, and more satisfying birth experiences overall. It’s not just about comfort — it’s about advocacy, calm, and confidence when you need it most.

Feeding is more than just giving your baby a full tummy — it’s a chance to connect, support their development, and make life a little easier for both of you 🍼

Paced feeding is a game changer. Slowing things down helps babies learn when they’re full and keeps tummy troubles at bay. It’s not about rushing through a bottle — it’s about being in sync with your little one. And while it might feel natural to hold your baby the same way every time, switching sides mid-feed actually supports their motor and visual development (plus it gives your tired arm a break — win-win!).

One of the most overlooked parts? Timing. Feeding before the tears start makes a world of difference. Learning those early hunger cues takes some practice, but it helps keep feeding calm and connected.

The tiniest tweaks often make the biggest impact. You’ve got this 💪
