Congratulations sis!!! 🎉🎊🤏🏽

🗣️ There’s a new Certified Community Health Worker in town!

I’m excited to share that I’ve officially earned my CCHW certification!

This means I’m even better equipped to serve my families with the latest, evidence-based support whether it’s in the birth space, through lactation care, or community advocacy.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. Let’s keep working together for healthier moms, babies, and communities! 🩷💜

1️⃣. Copper IUD (e.g., Paragard)
Failure rate: 0.8% (8 out of 1,000 people may become pregnant in the first year of use)
2️⃣. Hormonal IUDs (e.g., Mirena, Liletta, Kyleena, Skyla)
Failure rate: Ranges from 0.1% to 0.4% depending on the brand:
-Mirena/Liletta: ~0.2%
-Kyleena: ~0.2–0.4%
-Skyla: ~0.4%

IUDs are over 99% effective, making them one of the most reliable forms of reversible contraception.

📌Expulsion (IUD falls out partially or completely, often unnoticed)
📌Improper placement
📌Insertion during undetected early pregnancy
📌Very rare perforation

This baby was born with their mothers IUD on their bum. It was sticking due to the vernix.

Help Us Support a Mom in Need!

🌍✨ Welcome to International Doula Month 2025! ✨🌍

This May, we’re celebrating the extraordinary impact of doulas with our theme: Doulas Make the Difference: Birth, Baby, and Beyond.

From the first contraction to the first steps—and every moment in between—doulas are there. This theme honors the profound ways doulas support families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the parenting journey. Their presence brings knowledge, comfort, and strength that goes beyond the birth room—reaching across borders, cultures, and into the future of every family they support.

Throughout the month, we’ll spotlight their impact with weekly subthemes that explore the many roles doulas play, share stories from the field, and offer resources to empower our global community. We’ve also created a special International Doula Month Social Media Toolkit which we will share shortly to help you celebrate, advocate, and spread the word to your communities online.

Whether you’re a doula, a parent, or a supporter of birth justice, there’s something here for you. Let’s show the world how —not just at birth, or baby, but beyond.💜🌌

What Does a Doula Do?
At Radiant Roots Doula Care, we believe that every birthing person deserves to feel supported, seen, and empowered.

A doula is your steady presence—offering emotional comfort, physical support, and evidence-based information before, during, and after birth. We’re not here to replace anyone—we’re here to hold space, honor your choices, and help you tap into your strength.

Why have a doula in your corner?
• Shorter labors & fewer interventions
• Greater confidence in your birth journey
• Deeper connection and calm in your experience
• Personalized, continuous support—rooted in trust

You’re not just bringing life into the world—you’re growing, shifting, and rising. And we’re here for every powerful moment of it.
