The Bishop Score is a tool providers use to determine how ready your cervix may be for labor induction. It looks at five factors that help paint a picture of your body’s readiness.

✨ Dilation
✨ Effacement
✨ Cervical consistency
✨ Cervical position
✨ Fetal station

Each category is given a score, which is then added together. A higher score often means that an induction may be more favorable. A lower score does not mean labor is far away, it simply shows that your body may need more time or support to prepare.

Every birthing journey is unique, and this score is just one piece of the puzzle. Your body’s wisdom and your preferences matter too.

✨ You’re in early labor! Now what? ✨

This stage is all about easing in, staying grounded, and conserving your energy. Early labor often means contractions are still mild and spaced apart, giving you time to rest and nurture yourself.

🌿 Try resting or napping
🌿 Take a walk, shower, or bath
🌿 Breathe through waves of sensation
🌿 Snack lightly and sip fluids
🌿 Listen to music or do something comforting
🌿 Even consider a cozy date or gentle distraction

Remember: the goal is to stay relaxed, keep your body nourished, and prepare for the journey ahead. 💜

Sometimes, birth needs a little nudge to get started. Clinical induction methods are designed to encourage labor when it’s safer for baby or birthing parent not to wait.

✨ Common methods include:
▫️ Pitocin/Oxytocin to stimulate contractions
▫️ Cervical Sweep (membrane sweep) to encourage natural hormones
▫️ Foley Balloon to gently dilate the cervix
▫️ Prostaglandins to soften and ripen the cervix
▫️ Amniotomy (breaking the waters) to help contractions become stronger or allow the fetal head to be better applied to the cervix

Induction can be medically necessary, such as for high blood pressure, diabetes, infection, or when pregnancy goes significantly past due dates. It can also be offered electively.

💡 The ARRIVE trial is often cited to support elective induction at 39 weeks, suggesting it may lower cesarean rates in low-risk, first-time parents. However, the study has been widely criticized for its narrow design and limitations, and it doesn’t represent all birthing people or settings.

Each method carries its own benefits and considerations, and choices may be combined depending on how your body responds.

🌿 As doulas, our role is to help you understand your options, ask informed questions, and feel supported in whichever path your birth takes.

The breast is made up of milk-producing glands, ducts, and fatty tissue, supported by blood vessels and lymph nodes. While the ni**le and ar**la are external, so much is happening beneath the surface to support feeding and breast health.

As doulas and lactation support people, we know that knowledge is empowering—understanding your body is the first step to feeling confident in your feeding journey.

The va**na and the v***a are not the same

• The va**na is the muscular canal that connects the uterus to the outside of the body. Commonly referred to as the birth canal, it’s an internal part of the reproductive system.
• The v***a is the correct term for the external genitalia. It includes the:
• Mons p***s (the fatty tissue above the p***c bone)
• L***a majora (outer lips)
• L***a minora (inner lips)
• Cl****al hood and cl****is
• Urethral opening
• Vaginal opening
• Perineum (the area between the va**nal opening and the a**s)

👉 In short: the va**na is inside, while the v***a is outside.

Episiotomy facts and stats!

The peanut ball is such a helpful tool in labor for comfort, rest, and encouraging baby’s movement. These are five of my go-to positions, and my personal favorite is something called Flying Cowgirl.

Flying Cowgirl is a modified version of Walcher’s. One leg is lifted over the ball while the body leans back slightly, which helps open the top of the pelvis. This creates more space for baby to settle in and rotate when they’re sitting a little high.

I’ve seen this position make a big difference when labor feels like it needs a little boost. If you’ve used a peanut ball before, what position did you love most?

Fever thresholds in infants are not the same as in adults. What may seem like a “low-grade fever” in you can be much more serious for a newborn.

✨ For babies under 3 months, a re**al temperature of 100.4°F or higher is considered a medical emergency.
✨ At 3–6 months, 102°F or higher needs medical evaluation.
✨ At 6–12 months, 103°F or higher should be assessed by a healthcare provider.

If your baby reaches these thresholds, call your pediatrician right away or seek medical care from a local hospital. Trust your instincts! If your baby seems especially fussy, lethargic, or isn’t feeding well, reach out even sooner.

Staying proactive helps keep your little one safe. 💗

Feeding your baby can feel like a lot sometimes, but you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Our monthly Lactation Support Group is a warm, judgment-free space to ask questions, share what’s been working (or not working), and just be around other parents who get it.

Eleanor and I will be there to offer guidance on bottle feeding, body feeding, combo feeding, and anything in between. Come as you are, Messy bun, spit-up, and all, and leave feeling a little lighter and more supported.

🗓 11:00 AM–12:15 PM 1st Sunday of every month
