Here’s a breakdown of the risks and benefits:

Benefits:

Pitocin causes uterine contractions that may jumpstart or speed up labor.
The ability to initiate labor quickly can be lifesaving for a parent with a medical need, such as preeclampsia.

Encourages the placenta to release in immediate postpartum. 

Prevents and treats postpartum hemorrhage.

Risks:

Though Pitocin encourages cervical dilation, the medication does not encourage cervical effacement, which are both equally important to the progression of labor. 

Pitocin may cause unnaturally strong and prolonged contractions, which may decrease oxygen supply to the baby and increase fetal distress.

Pitocin increases the use of epidurals.

Pitocin-stimulated contractions are reported to feel more intense than natural contractions. 

Pitocin, especially when used in large amounts throughout labor, can cause edema. This can flatten the ni***es and make nursing more challenging. 

Pitocin can cause oxytocin receptor down-regulation, leading to oxytocin receptors being unable to function properly anymore. This can cause contractions to slow or stop. 

Pitocin can cause uterine tachysystole, leading to several contractions one after the other, without a break in-between. This can increase the risk for fetal distress and placental rupture

“I truly couldn’t have asked for a better birth.

I used the birth affirmations she provided, flipping through them throughout labor, and they grounded me in the most powerful way.

My husband and I both felt so connected, calm, and ready for baby girl. I’m incredibly grateful that I was able to welcome my daughter into the world in such a peaceful and beautiful environment.

What made the biggest difference was the emotional preparation.

Victoria helped me in ways I didn’t even know I needed, guiding me with compassion, wisdom, and unwavering encouragement.

As a first-time mom, I walked into birth feeling prepared, and I left feeling proud, empowered, and held. I cannot recommend her enough. 💕”

Read this if you want your partner to catch baby.

Most of the time, pulling on the baby to “deliver” them is unnecessary, and increases the risk for tearing.

If you want your partner to catch the baby, all they need to do is hold their hands open, and catch. It is very simple!

Babies are slippery, so if mom is standing, it’s ideal to have two people ready to catch just incase.

With some care providers, partner catching the baby means that provider will have their hands over partner’s hands, and will gently pull or apply downward traction to deliver the baby.

With others, they will stand nearby ready to step in if needed.

With this approach, partner and mom can work together, and allow baby to guide out into partner’s hands when they’re ready.

This is something a lot of parent’s don’t think about: do I want a hands-off, or a hands-on birth?

I have a full training on hands-on vs hands-off, and reducing tearing risk in my free birth course.

Pooping during birth is normal, and sometimes it doesn’t happen at all.

I’ve only seen p**p in about 10% of the births I’ve attended as a student midwife.

(Where it was my job to remove p**p if it were to appear)

Often, moms will clear out in early labor by having loose stool, which may prevent p**ping during birth.

But if you do p**p, know that it often goes unnoticed. 💕 Nurses and midwives are quite good at removing it quickly!

She’s got the right idea 👏🏻

If you’re able to wait for spontaneous labor, often that is ideal!

Labor induction tools can make births longer and more painful.

But if you’re want to give your body a little nudge…maybe dancing could help? 🤷🏻‍♀️💖

Your baby will come when they are ready 🙏🏻

When we don’t prepare for birth, our conditioning leads the way.

Because we don’t have anything else within ourselves to turn to.

And what have we been conditioned to believe…?

That birth is something to fear.

These parents clearly did two things to prepare:

1️⃣ They worked through their fear and built confidence

2️⃣ They learned about coping tools and how birth works

And that is how they were able to navigate that situation with so much confidence, joy, and grace.

“She helped me see birth not as something to fear, but as an empowering, sacred experience.

From our weekly check-ins to the gentle wisdom she shared, Victoria became like a sister to me during this journey.

In a world where so many approach birth with fear or uncertainty, Victoria empowers women to reclaim their strength and write their own sacred birth story. Her kindness, compassion, and steady presence made all the difference for me, and I truly cannot recommend her enough.

Victoria, thank you your kindness and heart-centered guidance, I am very grateful.

Please keep doing the soul work you were born to do—the world needs more of you.”

When you’re pregnant, it can be hard to block out all the noise and scary stories on social media.

A lot of moms don’t know how beautiful birth can be, because they’ve only heard scary stories.

But the reason why so many moms have challenging, traumatic, or super painful births is due to a number of factors:

-the evidence-practice gap
-lack of access to personalized care
-lack of informed consent and refusal
-pitocin induction and augmentation, leading to more painful births

With the right education and support, this can often be avoided.

When you surround yourself with positive stories, support, and educate yourself on your options… birth unfolds so much differently.

Because instead of going into birth with fear, we go into birth with confidence.

Making informed choices in alignment with our values.

Mayli had the fast, peaceful birth at home that she was wanting 💖

Here’s what she did differently:

1️⃣She didn’t go into birth hoping for the best. (not a good way to enter birth)

She went into birth feeling excited, confident and prepared.

2️⃣She knew that doulas don’t replace birth preparation.

Doulas run alongside you during the marathon, but they don’t prepare you for it. Birth prep, does. 🏃🏻‍♀️

3️⃣She was emotionally prepared.

She transformed her relationship with fear and overcame her anxieties.

4️⃣She knew that information alone isn’t enough.

She got support with integrating and applying that information to her preferences.

All the information in the world isn’t going to help you overcome your fear. Personalization will.

5️⃣She recognized the importance of investing in birth preparation.

She knew that investing a little upfront could save her thousands down the road, as cesareans, epidurals, even tearing can skyrocket healthcare bills.
What happened?!

She felt excited and confident going into birth.

And she had the smooth, peaceful birth at home she was wanting 🙌🏼

I heard a story of a mama who got an ultrasound in her third trimester, and was told her baby was in the 90th percentile.

Her provider pushed her to get an induction, out of fear that her baby “wouldn’t fit.”

She got the induction at 39 weeks.

The medications didn’t do much, so they broke her water.

After 24 hours they said she wasn’t able to try for a vaginal birth any longer, due to the risk for infection.

So she got a cesarean.

Her baby was average sized, just a little over 7lbs.

A suspected big baby is not medical indication for induction.

Yet providers who have a big baby bias are more likely to push induction and allow shorter trials of labor.

In the western medical model, the evidence practice gap, bias, and a lack of informed consent are common themes that increase cesarean risk. 💖
