Tina the Postpartum Doula LLC

Tina the Postpartum Doula LLC Bringing a baby home is a beautiful & transformative time, I'm here to help you make this journey. And an amazing and supportive Husband.

My name is Tina, I have 3 beautiful blessings that call me mom. Being a Postpastrum Doula has always been a passion of mine before I knew what a Postpartum Doula was. After my first born, I learned the importance of having a support team, even after the first 2 weeks. I started to have a desire to help other moms. Being a mom is exhausting and rewarding. The postpartum stage can be enjoyable and stressful. And I enjoy helping make that stage of Postpartum enjoyable and relaxing. I am currently a DONA Certified Postpartum Doula as of 2/2017

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Move over, candy bars. The new sweet treat obsession is here: Chocolate Covered Dates! 🍫

They’re the perfect afternoon pick-me-up and surprisingly easy to make at home.
If you've been told to eat dates prenatally here ya go! This is my BEST way to enjoy them.

🤰Improved Cervical Ripening: Regular consumption has been associated with a higher mean cervical dilation and Bishop score upon hospital admission, indicating the cervix is more "favorable" and ready for labor.
🏋Shorter Labor: Studies have found that women who eat dates in late pregnancy may experience a significantly shorter first stage of labor.
📋Reduced Need for Intervention: Date consumption is linked to a higher likelihood of spontaneous labor (not needing medical induction) and a lower need for labor augmentation with medications like oxytocin (Pitocin).

🚫 The ONE Thanksgiving "DON'T" That Deserves Its Own Post! 🚫
As we prepare for Thanksgiving next week, we are stressing one crucial boundary for new parents:
🦃PASS THE GRAVY, NOT THE BABY!🍗

It's flu and RSV season, and your newborn’s immune system is still developing. While everyone at the gathering is excited and well-intentioned, your baby’s health is the top priority.

Here's why this "don't" is non-negotiable:

🤢Germs Spread Easily: Simple viruses that might just cause a sniffle in adults can lead to serious respiratory issues and even hospitalization in newborns.
❌Boundaries are Okay: You are allowed to say "no." A polite "Thank you, but we are prioritizing limited contact during flu season" is a perfectly acceptable response.
👶🏻Babywearing is Your Friend: Use a carrier! It's a kind but firm physical boundary that makes it clear the baby isn't available for hand-to-hand transfer.
📣Prioritize safety, comfort, and sanity this holiday season. Keep your baby close, enforce those hand-washing rules, and enjoy your meal!

❌🦃 Navigating Baby's First Thanksgiving: The "DON'TS" List 🦃 ❌
Yesterday we shared our "DO'S" for new parents; now it's time for the "DON'TS"! This list is all about prioritizing your family's safety, comfort, and sanity during the holiday hustle.

Remember: it's your first Thanksgiving as a new family unit, and that means you set the rules!

❌ DON'T Feel Obligated to Go:
It is 100% okay to skip the big gathering. If you're not comfortable taking your newborn out during flu season or if you're simply too exhausted, stay home! You can create your own cozy, quiet celebration at home.
❌ DON'T Worry About Offending Anyone:
If you need to enforce a boundary (like "no kissing the baby" or "please wash your hands"), a simple, firm "no" is enough. People who love and respect you will understand that your baby's health comes first.
❌ DON'T Let Strangers or Extended Family Announce the Birth:
You and your partner should be the ones to share the news about your baby when you are ready. Keep social media sharing requests clear and polite with excited family members.
❌ DON'T Force a Schedule:
Trying to stick strictly to a tight routine amidst travel and family chaos might add unnecessary stress. Follow your baby’s cues and go with the flow as much as possible.
❌ DON'T Feel Bad Asking for Help:
If you go to a family member's house, it's totally okay to ask for a meal to be prepared for you or for someone to hold the baby while you finally get to eat your own meal! Your hosts will understand.

Remember, this is your baby's first Thanksgiving. Prioritize safety, comfort, and sanity! Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡

✅ 🦃Navigating Baby's First Thanksgiving: The "DO'S" List 🦃 ✅
Let's talk about the essential "DO'S" for new parents planning their first Thanksgiving with their little one.
It’s all about preparation, communication, and prioritizing your family’s well-being!

✅ DO Set Boundaries Ahead of Time:
Politely, but firmly, let family and friends know your expectations regarding everything from hand-washing and kissing the baby to visiting times. Your baby’s health is the absolute priority, and communication prevents awkward moments later!
✅ DO Prioritize Health:
This is flu season! Ask anyone feeling unwell—even with just a sniffle—to postpone their visit. Encourage all guests to wash their hands thoroughly before holding your baby.
✅ DO Wear the Baby:
Babywearing is a lifesaver! It’s a great way to keep your little one close, prevent them from being passed around too much, and keep your hands free for eating (or a quick exit!).
✅ DO Carve Out a Quiet Space:
Designate a quiet room away from the hustle and bustle. This "safe haven" is essential for feeding, changing the baby, or just taking a moment to decompress and catch your breath.
✅ DO Manage Expectations:
Be flexible. The day might not go perfectly, the turkey might be dry, and the baby might cluster-feed. Focus on the joy of being together with your new family.
✅ DO Capture the Moments:
Take photos, but don't stress about the perfect shot. Candid moments of your first holiday together are often the most heartwarming and memorable.
Stay tuned later this week for our list of "DON'TS" for new parents!

🎁 The Ultimate Holiday Gift for New Parents: The Gift of Support 🎁

The holiday season is usually about joy, family gatherings, and memory-making. But for new parents, especially those with a newborn, it can be a whirlwind of stress, exhaustion, and overwhelming expectations.

Juggling a newborn's demands alongside holiday to-dos (shopping, cooking, hosting, socializing) can feel impossible. That's why the most meaningful gift you can give a new family isn't wrapped in a bow—it's the invaluable, compassionate support of a postpartum doula.

🌎 Happy World Kindness Day! 🌎
Today, we're joining the global movement to celebrate the power of kindness. It's a simple yet profound force that makes the world a better, more compassionate place.

In the world of new parenthood (doesn't matter what number baby it is by the way), especially the challenging postpartum period, kindness is more than just a gesture—it's essential support.

Postpartum doulas embody kindness every single day. Their work is built on simple, powerful acts of compassion:

💖 A Listening Ear: Offering non-judgmental, compassionate listening when a new parent needs to process their fears, anxieties, or joys.
💖 A Helping Hand: Stepping in with practical assistance like a prepared meal, light housekeeping, or running an errand so parents can rest and recover.
💖 Reassurance: Providing words of encouragement and affirmation, letting parents know, "You are doing great," and empowering them to trust their instincts.
💖 Holding Space: Creating a safe, nurturing environment where parents feel seen, heard, and supported, not judged.

These simple acts can be life-changing, helping a family feel less isolated and more confident as they navigate new parenthood.

How can YOU spread kindness today? It can be as simple as:
📱Calling a new parent just to listen.
🍽Sending a digital gift card for a meal delivery.
🏃‍♀️Offering to take the older kids to the park for an hour.
☕Bring new parents a cup of coffee or tea.

Let's make kindness the norm, today and every day. Be kind to yourself, be kind to others, and support the new families in your community.

Our Story

My name is Tina Bein PCD(DONA), I am a DONA Certified Postpartum Doula. We Homeschool our 3 beautiful blessings. They helped me find my passion in helping mothers in this amazing transition. I started my journey, 11yrs ago helping my sister through Postpartum depression. When I became a mother myself in 2008, I realized that there wasn't a real support for mothers. After talking with a fellow birth-worker, I took the steps in September 2016 to become a Certified Postpartum Doula with DONA International. In October 2016 after my training, I started working with mothers, helping them and guiding them through the 4th Trimester. November 2017 I finished me certification process, and has submitted my packet, and February 24, 2018 I became a Certified Postpartum Doula with DONA. . My services include, emotional support, help with infant care, and taking over light household duties, so that you can rest, recover and take better care of yourself and newborn.
