"How you are feeding your baby is one of the first questions you get to consider as a parent. We know that answer is complicated by sooooo many things, including your family, personal health history, cultural preferences & biases, employment, childcare situation, etc. Even if you have all these things working in your favor, sometimes challenges can still arise for people that want to feed their baby their own milk. As doulas, we know that the personal decisions you make about feeding your baby are yours to make, and as with all things, we'll talk to you about ALL the factors to help you come to your own decision about what is right for your family."

"Doulas love supporting partners in birth and postpartum too. Birth is a family affair, and partners come in all shapes and sizes with all of their own ideas about birth too. I have snuck sips of water to partners who were in the birth pool at a home birth squeezing hips and listening so intently to the moans escaping the lips of their wife. I've caught a fainting partner who didn't really realize the extent of his aversion to the sight of blood until that exact moment. I've told partners with white faces to please sit down and heard others wrangling toddlers and dogs in a different room so that we could have a more peaceful birth environment..."

"Good girl culture" tells us that to stay safe and likeable we shouldn't advocate for our own needs or boundaries. We're taught to avoid conflict & make sure we look good all the time. If you've been indoctrinated to say yes and comply even when you don't want to, then this newsletter is for you! In this installment I'll be breaking down how good girl culture undermines you when it comes to birth and postpartum, and how you can break the cycle to get what you need. Ambitious for a newsletter? Yes! But it's a start of a bigger conversation that you don't want to miss!

"Sometimes getting what you want takes a whole lot of advocacy. I recently went to visit a client for a postpartum visit to talk about her birth experience, meet their baby, & provide them with any resources they need. This is the last step in my birth doula service packages, and I was really excited to talk to these repeat clients because she had a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean). She said something to me that struck me to my core, and I've been thinking about it ever since. “It was just so hard to fight for every single little thing, and I'm not sure I could do it again.” Oof! That hit me right in my little advocacy driven heart..."

"How are you going to prepare for birth & postpartum? If you are someone who has balked at the idea of a “birth plan” or planning for postpartum, then this blog is especially for you. The point of planning isn't the written part, it's the learning. One of the best ways to be able to keep yourself calm during what can be a very chaotic situation such as birth or life with a newborn, is to learn what might happen. No, that doesn't mean running drills or anything like that, but it does mean that even if you don't plan to go without pain medication for your birth, learning a few coping techniques for contractions can help in case you have a quick labor and don't have time for an epidural..."

"Get moving! It sounds so simple, but it isn't always. Have you ever had nausea so bad that you could only lay in one single position breathing through your mouth or you would immediately start to hurl? What about a pain that starts in the middle of your butt-cheek and extends all the way down the back of your leg every time you move? I have! I was incredibly whiney while pregnant, and I also got incredibly stabby with anyone who lacked empathy for my physical ailment or was dismissive of how challenging pregnancy can be..."

"Do you know a red flag when you see one? Do you know that your provider can make a world of difference as to the care that you receive? Doula story time: I get excited when I get to work with nurses more than once, because I honestly worry less. (FYI: not all nurses have had great experiences with doulas, which sometimes translates into more work for me to win them over.) I was honestly gobsmacked though, at how differently this nurse behaved with a different provider. It felt like a Jekyll & Hyde moment, or like I was somehow in the Twilight Zone. Here was this same nurse who had been really supportive of my client who wanted things a little outside of this specific hospital's care routine standing there refusing to budge one millimeter from their standard protocols. This was the day that I learned 2 valuable lessons..."

"One of the most nebulous and confusing things we doulas say all the time is that we hold space for people. What does that really mean though. I find this to be a really confusing explanation for a skillset that isn't always appreciated until you need it and aren't getting it. I certainly didn't understand what it means to hold space until I actually experienced it. Let me illustrate how doulas hold space for you with an example..."

"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..."
