Tonight’s pregnancy snack - homemade fermented pickles, homemade sourdough with extra butter, bone broth (actually not homemade for once) and a side of “Birth as an American Rite of Passage” by Robbie Davis-Floyd.

Probiotics during pregnancy are so important! So is self care. To me, baking and creating are self care, but also requires me to be on my feet for long periods of time. Late night snacks in bed help me actually relax!

Probiotics, as with all nutrients, are best taken in whole food forms instead of supplements, as they’re easier for your body to break down and actually use! Digestive issues can be quite common in pregnancy, and probiotics are highly recommended. If you’re not a fan of foods like kefir or sauerkraut and don’t eat them daily, then make sure you’re taking a probiotic geared toward pregnancy!
avivaromm has a lot of wonderful information in some older podcasts about which specific strains of probiotics are best for eliminating GBS!

What do doulas do? The better question is what DON’T we do! From knowledge to guidance to hands on support, I am here for you from conception through the first year postpartum. Unlimited calls and texts throughout that time are included in my rate!

With me as your doula, you can count on an empowered birth. Doulas are also proven to decrease PPD rates as well as intervention rates! Epidurals and c-section rates are much lower with a doula by your side. Guess what else decreases? Time spent in labor!

As mammals we have a primal, ancient need to feel safe, calm, and supported during birth. Dim lights, personal comfort items, and quiet voices are essential to the process! Planning to birth in the hospital? These things are totally possible with the right support by your side, advocating for your choices.

While I am studying to become a midwife, as your doula I do NOT perform medical tasks. I don’t take blood pressure or check dilation. But I do think my work toward becoming a midwife gives me an advantage! I have a great understanding of medical terminology and procedures during labor and birth. The knowledge I have brings an extra bit of peace of mind to my clients!

My personal values are to be as natural as possible. But what’s possible for one person isn’t always possible or desirable for the next! I am here to support you through WHATEVER choice you make. Your desires and comfort are of the utmost importance to me.

My current birth philosophy is focused on preventing primary c-sections and supporting the need for VBACs! I am a Certified VBAC Pro through the VBAC Academy.

As always, I provide free consultations. Feel free to drop into my dms, call, text, or email. I will get back to you within 24 hours!
