Sweetness and Hope - Birth Doula

10/10/2025

The vast majority of Colorado has a shortage of prenatal care providers, requiring families in some rural areas to drive an hour or longer for routine pregnancy visits.

It’s always amazing when births line up back-to-back. I pray often for the families I support — and also that the timing works out and I stay healthy and rested for each one. This time, God blessed me with a full night of sleep between two beautiful births at the birth center.

Both moms had quick labors before, but this time things were longer and more intense. Every birth is different and full of surprises! Each one reminds me that God writes every story in its own unique way — and it’s always such a gift to see women find strength, trust, and courage in the process. Birth is truly so beautiful! 💜💙

Do you have a September birthday? 🎉
It’s interesting how many September dates made it onto this list! I only planned to take one client this month since it’s such a busy season — and she still hasn’t had her baby yet. But between a couple August babies arriving fashionably late and backing up for another doula, I’ve already been part of 3 September births. 😅

It’s that time of year again...the most common birthdays in the U.S. are about to happen! (We see you, holiday party parents... 🍾🎁😆) Also, what’s going on with July 7th? Source:

August was such a beautiful month! 💕 I got to be part of a sweet home birth where we were all shocked to find out the baby was a boy (everyone had guessed girl 🤭). I also supported a precious twin birth and witnessed my very first breech birth—God is SO good!

On top of that, I finished the steps to become a Certified Perinatal Patient Advocate, which means I’ll be even better equipped to support and speak up for my clients, especially in the hospital.

I can’t wait to see what September brings!

I can’t believe how fast summer has flown by! ☀️ I took a little break from posting, but things have been anything but slow in the birth world. Over the past couple of months, I’ve had the honor of supporting some truly wonderful families—welcome to the world, four sweet baby girls and one precious baby boy! ❤️

Fun fact: two of those babies were born just five hours apart—what a wild and beautiful day that was! 😅

Between births, I’ve also soaked up lots of time with my own family and enjoyed visits from out-of-town company. I even managed to sneak away for a few days to San Francisco! Huge thanks to my amazing backup doulas who made that possible. 🙌

With school starting next week, I’m definitely not ready… but here we go! 📚✨

This was such an incredible training! I’m feeling so much more equipped and confident to advocate for my clients—especially in the hospital setting. Grateful for all the new tools and knowledge I gained!

Just got back from a sweet family getaway to Mexico! It was my kids’ first time there, and they soaked up every minute—beach days, sunshine, and all the tacos 🌮☀️

I’m so grateful for the time to rest and recharge... and for the perfect timing—no June babies made their debut while we were gone! Now I’m back, ready to support some beautiful births this month 💛

Welcome to the world, sweet baby Hudson!
Your mama showed such incredible strength and grace as she worked to meet you — even with your surprise size and not being in the best position! Through it all, she leaned on her faith and stayed so steady. You are so deeply loved. 💙

Wondering what happens when you first show up at the hospital in labor?
Welcome to triage — the assessment area for labor & delivery. 🏥✨

This is where nurses check your vitals, monitor baby, assess your contractions, and see how far along you are. It helps determine whether you’ll be admitted to a labor room or sent home to labor a bit longer or rest. This is why it so important to labor at home as long as possible and why I love supporting my clients at their home before heading to the hospital.

Triage can feel like a waiting game, especially if you’re uncomfortable or unsure of what’s next. That’s why preparation and support make a big difference.

Here are a few tips to help triage feel a little less overwhelming:

✔️ Bring your ID, paperwork, and hospital bag essentials
✔️ Wear something comfy and easy to change out of
✔️ Keep your support team in the loop
✔️ Use your breathing techniques — they help here too
✔️ Be patient — monitoring often takes 1–2 hours
✔️ Stay flexible — your plan may shift, and that’s okay

Triage is just the first step in your hospital birth journey. You’ve got this. 💪
