Find A Doula: DFW

04/18/2026

Nope. And doulas can be some of the worst.

Trigger warning. R**e and su***de. In my case - in a hospital.

MEDICAL R**E!!!!!! Doula Friends. Doula’s should know this.
I truly understand if you don’t agree.
But Idc if you don’t like the term. It’s my story, and my choice of words. and I left SOOOOOOO much out in this video.
Thank you for watching.
I feel like total crap. The antibiotic is helping but I’m having a bad reaction to it. My OB is very aware. She is amazing btw. She’s been taking care of my lady business for years. My oldest son gave me a 4th degree tear. And messed up a lot in there. I was 20 and knew nothing about birth. She’s been doing her best for years! lol.

Caring for Women - Denton - Dr. Monica Popov. https://cfwdenton.com/physicians/listing

They have Drs that deliver too. She doesn’t. I think I have a “medical professional crush”. She’s that good. And she’s funny. She talks to me like I have a little knowledge. I have occasionally asked her Doula questions. I travel an hour and a half to see her. She asked me why one day. I said “When you find a good Dr you stay.” She cracked me up - she shrugged and said “fair enough”.

Back to the story. That baby, he died 18 years later, but he would almost be 24. Committed su***de in his bedroom. I walked in the next morning to get him up, he was laying right in front of me. It was a shot gun. You don’t want to know what I saw. And I’m not gonna say.
Totally different kind of pain. But I know pain. Mental and physical - this Current story about me is bad. Really bad.
I have a 3 hour radius for clients in the DFW/North Texas - Southern Ok. Texoma area.
No, I’ve never missed a birth because of that. I’ve been at it for 7 yrs almost. 2 because I was really sick. You can’t doula if you can’t stop puking and 1 because of another birth. Never because of time. And that’s not what I’m trying to discuss rn.
This was beyond horrible. So many issues. I’m really sick. And the hospital knowingly did it. They had to know. If the Dr didn’t know, he shouldn’t be a Dr. that kind of straight cath in the hospital is known to be the #1 cause of this bacteria. 5 months horrible effects - most I didn’t even mention.
Not ok.

The Midwives Did Not Obey!!!!!!
Hell yeah!!! And so we have the story of Moses.

The first act of civil disobedience recorded in the Bible was committed by midwives.

Let me tell you their story.

In Exodus 1, we meet Shiphrah and Puah, two Hebrew midwives living under Egyptian oppression. Pharaoh, afraid of the growing Hebrew population, gave them a direct order: kill every Hebrew baby boy at birth.

These midwives said no.

They defied the most powerful man in Egypt. They risked their own lives to protect the babies they were called to serve. They looked Pharaoh in the face and lied to him, telling him the Hebrew women were too strong, too vigorous, that the babies were born before the midwives could even arrive.

And because of their courage, an entire generation of Hebrew boys lived. Including Moses, who would eventually lead his people to freedom.

The Bible says: “So God was kind to the midwives… And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.” (Exodus 1:20-21)

God honored their courage. Their defiance. Their protection of life in the face of authoritarian power. Thousands of years later, midwives are still fighting. Not against genocide, thank God. But against systems and policies that try to control how, where, and with whom women can give birth. We fight for a woman’s right to choose homebirth when it’s safe for her, informed consent instead of coerced interventions, bodily autonomy in birth spaces, access to physiologic birth instead of routine intervention, and the freedom to birth without unnecessary interference. We stand between families and systems that don’t always have their best interests at heart.

Just like Shiphrah and Puah, midwives today protect families’ rights to make their own choices about their bodies and their births. We push back against policies that restrict birth options. We advocate for informed consent when providers pressure unnecessary interventions. We honor women’s autonomy even when it’s countercultural. We believe that families, not institutions, should be the decision-makers in birth. This is sacred work. Not just catching babies. But protecting the fundamental right of families to choose how they bring their children into the world.

Shiphrah and Puah set the standard thousands of years ago: midwives serve families, not systems. We protect life and honor autonomy, even when authorities tell us otherwise. And just like God honored those ancient midwives for their courage, we trust that standing for families’ rights is exactly where we’re called to be.

“The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.” - Exodus 1:17

Well, I failed to celebrate World Doula Week last week…I fell down on the job!
My mistake.
To rectify the situation immediately - Since I failed so miserably lol. I will be doing one Pro Bono Home Birth or Home “Freebirth”.

“Free Births”
For expecting moms and families.

Please read the entire post first before you comment. No negative Nancy’s please.

Howdy all! I’m in the Texoma/DFW/Southern Oklahoma area (I have a large radius - up to 3 hrs. I’m right in the middle of Texas and Oklahoma.)

I’m beginning to take more “free births” - a home birth with no practitioner. Yes, I know the dangers. I’ve been doing this for 6 and a half years!
Anyway, if you have a client in my area looking for a doula for a “free birth”, send them my way!!! Leave a comment for me here on this post, and I will message you.

I have a pool, and all the things!

There are stipulations.
- I won’t do a first time moms,only 2nd time or more
- I won’t do VBAC’s
- No women with high risk pregnancies.
- If complications arise during the pregnancy I will access the situation and decide!
Ik it sounds like a lot of stipulations, but I am not comfortable with some issues. I only want healthy low risk pregnant women.
And also they will need to see a dr or midwife at leas toward the end of the pregnancy to ensure safety and no risks!
If you are a pregnant woman looking for a doula who will do a Free Birth, please leave a comment! And like I asked before, please no negative Nellies. I know the risks!!
Thank you!!!!

A mother’s love can be so healing and amazing.

The woman who originally made this page contacted me. She was mad. She said I was using this to promote my own doula business. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I have made a few videos to educate anyone who is interested. And I’ve videoed my self talking about what a Bereavement doula does and how to love on the client and support them. I am in no way trying to promote my own business.
I’m looking for women who are wanting to be featured here! Not promoting myself. It really offended me. And I’m sorry if it seems that way. If you are interested in being featured, lmk! I would love to do that.

I love this!!! Dianna gave birth to the future king. Kate married the future King and will be the queen. And then Megan married the Spare. So much turmoil in that family, for many years.

Love it! 💯👸💝

My stomach is still numb from my C-section.
Not sore.
Not healing.
Just… numb.

Long after, I can touch my lower belly and feel nothing.
The scar is there.
But the feeling? Gone.

They don’t tell you that after a C-section, the numbness can last forever.
That sometimes the nerves just don’t come back.

People say C-sections are the “easy way out.”
But they cut me open to bring my baby into the world.

I winced every time I stood up.
I held my incision just to sit down.
I cried when laughing hurt too much.

Now I have a scar that healed…
but a stomach that still doesn’t feel like mine.

C-sections aren’t easy.
They’re brutal. They’re brave.
And they leave behind more than just a scar.

If your stomach is still numb too,
You’re not broken.
You’re a warrior.
And that numbness?
That’s proof you survived.

Sad sad sad

In the U.S., postpartum complications are the leading cause of maternal death.
Not pregnancy. Not birth.
But what happens after.

And for moms who had a C section?
Let’s call it what it is:
Major abdominal surgery.
Muscles cut. Organs moved. Nerves severed.
And they’re sent home in 2-3 days… with a newborn.
No nurse. No real recovery plan.
Just “see you in six weeks.”

Then they’re expected to smile. Function. Breastfeed. Entertain visitors.
While healing. While bleeding. While breaking.
And if they struggle?
They’re told it was “the easy way out.”

Easy?
There is nothing easy about being stitched back together and left to survive.
There is nothing easy about healing while keeping another human alive with no rest and no help.

We don’t talk about it enough.
We don’t support mothers enough.
We don’t respect C-sections, or birth trauma, or the postpartum period like we should.

And it’s killing mothers.

This isn’t okay.
We deserve better.
