"Your priority tends to come to the top of your mind when you get that first positive pregnancy test, or at least you start thinking about what your priority maybe should be. When I was pregnant with my first baby, I was convinced that we had to have the newest and best things for her. I was so excited to open all the packages and organize everything…until I got completely overwhelmed by it. I also labeled all the drawers, so I may have gone a little overboard with my label maker. I was in grad school so I really liked procrastinating by organizing and we definitely did NOT have money for all the new things. If I had it to do all over again, here are the five things I wouldn't waste my money on again..."

"What is the best tool you already have in your birth toolbox? There is honestly nothing like pregnancy to make you feel both wholly connected to your body and completely disconnected from it at the same time. All these wild changes are happening inside of you while you're trying to plan for the future and figure out how to get this thing out of you at the same time that your life just keeps going. Here's the secret I figured out during my first pregnancy: my body believes my mind. This has served me well for all of parenthood to be quite honest--my mind is my best tool. Spending the time to strengthen this connection between my body and mind has helped keep me calm in so many situations. I'd like to share an example of how I used this connection in my labor with you..."

"Small moments of compassion can make a huge difference in birth and postpartum. Let me share an example of what that can look like. When the nurse walked into the room and made eye contact with me (the doula) I was immediately impressed. She greeted my clients and me by making a connection as a human before she had to turn and start clicking the seemingly 500 boxes on the intake form. Even though my client was clearly in very active labor, she paused her clicks and turned to ask..."

I love it when toddlers want to "help," and it always seems to be at the worst moment possible. Part of that is of course because they want some attention. One of the best parts of hiring a : we can help with that!

Did your toddler ever want to "help" with the new baby?

"What do I mean when I say experience matters? When I was a brand new doula my very first client got an epidural. I was 100% curious about the experience of it because this was also the very first birth I'd ever witnessed. I asked her all kinds of questions once she was comfortable and then in our postpartum encounter too. Since then I've seen plenty of different epidurals and asked less questions, though one a couple of years ago caught me completely by surprise because..."

Labor contractions are like waves. They start small and can rush in to a crest to crash over you and then rush out again. Thinking about contractions like waves can help you remember that they're only temporary, and like a wave, this contraction will pass. Keep your head above the water by staying calm, floating, and breathing deep through it all. You can do this, and a birth doula can help remind you in the moment too.

"I want to challenge your thinking a little bit with this post, starting with a few questions for you to ponder about maternity care. Do you have the same goals for pregnancy/birth/parenting as everyone else in your community? Do you think you have all the same options? Do you live in the same bodies? Do you have the same health issues, resources, and connections? Humans are certainly similar, but the nuanced differences between our goals, options, & bodies can make remarkable differences in how we approach pregnancy, birth, & parenting. There is no one right way to approach any of this that will fit everyone, and that is honestly..."

Honestly, one of my favorite things about serving families is helping partners participate how they want to and are able. I LOVE supporting partners who ask great questions, know their strengths, & are brave enough to ask for help.
How can a doula help your partner have a better birth and postpartum experience?

Parents are optimists, because we have to believe in and work toward a future where our children will thrive. Happy Independence Day to all you parents out there who are thinking about your legacy as we celebrate the brilliant experiment of the ideas of freedom and democracy in action: America.

A doula is "a trained professional who provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to their client before, during and shortly after childbirth to help them achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible," according to DONA International.
Ways our clients have described doulas before:
-an extra set of hands to help
-like a caddy for birth
-there just for ME and my wishes
-advocate in every possible way
-so many more

We've been helping families since 2014 & are excited to keep serving this community.

"One of my favorite examples of what your team isn’t saying: At 3am my client was breathing through her contractions and swaying with her husband when their nurse came in the room with the phone to her ear. “OK, so you want me to tell them that she isn’t progressing quickly enough and it’s time to start *pit to get this labor moving Dr. _____?” My clients’ eyes got big and I could see the panic in the way they changed their stance and movement. The nurse continued, “Ok, and you’re on call until 7am right?” I winked at the nurse and she nodded at me. I knew what she was doing in that moment and appreciated it so very much! My clients didn’t understand, but they would soon..."
