Deanna Snow Doula Services

Deanna Snow Doula Services I am a doula providing support in the Des Moines area. This space is created to encourage families I serve as a local doula in the Des Moines area.

I have attended births for years. Even as a teenager, I thoroughly enjoyed being able to support new moms with everything from household chores to care for baby while mom was able to enjoy some much needed rest. After having my first baby, I discovered the need of helping other families as they went through pregnancy and birth. Soon, it became a passion of mine to be able to research and learn all that I could to help couples have their best pregnancy and birth possible. Twelve pregnancies later, I was able to see first hand how empowering it was to be knowledgeable about birth choices. I was able to see firsthand how great care of the pregnant woman could achieve great outcomes. I determined to learn all I could about everything from nutrition, supplements, and exercise to emotional and physical support in labor and delivery. This led to providing evidenced based information as women would ask questions and requests to attend their births and provide support for families. These days I still love offering that support. When I'm not meeting with families about pregnancy or postpartum care, attending a birth, or researching deeper, you'll probably find me with my family. Our lives our full with pastoring a great local congregation. We are blessed with 9 kiddos and expecting our 6th grand baby. We use every part of our lil lot to raise a goat for milk, gather our fresh eggs, or grow some fresh veggies or herbs. If you are looking for support, contact me for a free consultation to see if I would be a good fit to assist your family.

Our bodies have an amazing design!

âšȘEach drop of breast milk contains 1 million white blood cells - every single drop counts.
âšȘYour milk remains nutritious irrespective of your diet; it's your health that is affected by deficiencies.
âšȘ Producing breast milk consumes 25% of the body's energy; the brain only uses 20% by comparison. You're doing enough.
âšȘThere is no conclusive evidence that breast milk causes cavities
âšȘYour breast milk remains nutritious for as long as you are breastfeeding
âšȘEvery child self weans in their own time if you are happy to let them. Honest

Great info!

It’s the season for mastitis. I’ve gotten six text and emails today about patients with mastitis symptoms.

Please make sure you are removing the milk frequently at least every three hours at least.For a clogged milk duct in the breast tissue you’ll feel a bump or lump in your tissue that’s inflamed.

Studies have shown the most important thing is icing the tissue throughout the day. Don’t massage it, don’t overstimulate it. It’s just inflammation from not removing milk effectively from that area.

Could have been a poor latch or a stressful day that causes the inflammation.

Ice ice ice after each feed and take ibuprofen or turmeric every 6-8 hours for inflammation

Wear supportive bra. or sports bra.

Drink fluids and rest.

A couple of my doula friends asked their kiddos what Labor Day is and their responses were adorable.
I asked my 7 year old and she responded:
“When a bunch of women have babies??” â˜ș

My client shared her thoughts with me about her precious newborn:

I was looking at her the other day and I was thinking she’s the love of my life and no matter what happens, no matter how many mistakes she makes, I’ll always love her and nothing would ever break that bond. And, it dawned on me that that’s probably how God feels about us when he created us.

Loving this new birth course from Beautiful One Midwifery! I was going through the modules while cutting up pears for preserves. So much great content, then I hear, “at this stage the uterus is the size of a small pear”. So a visual it is. 😊
Let me know if you’re looking for a good course. I have a discount code for you.
