This was a really serene birth that I had the honor to doula and film.

She did a lot of preparation— and carried that into her labor. Yoga, Spinning Babies techniques, meditation and prayer. She just followed her body’s instincts the whole time.

Lots of movement, breathing, staying present through each wave.

Her husband was steady with her, and the whole room felt calm. Supportive midwives in no rush…

Hospital birth, a necessary induction, and still this peaceful. 🥹

Over ten years and three births together with this family… marks the end of my serving in DFW, TX. 🥰 (Repeat clients are always welcome to inquire about my traveling services!)

I am now opening my practice full-time in Nashville, TN. I hope to serve you soon.

👏👏👏👏👏 Posted • This TikTok video depicting medical professionals dancing to the OR for a c-section after the birthing person has been pushing for three hours is absolutely unacceptable, and it is this exact birth culture that ICAN exists to disrupt.

Why is this so wrong?
1. If baby and parent are otherwise stable, pushing time limits are not medically indicated.
2. There was no emergency here or they wouldn’t be dancing.
3. It callously disregards the feelings of that birthing person who worked so hard to push the baby out and was forced to stop.
4. Birth trauma is much more likely to occur when the person giving birth doesn’t feel heard, listened to, or in charge of decision-making.
5. Cesareans are major surgery with increased short-term risk, particularly for the birthing person.
6. Long-term health conditions are associated with this surgery, including Placenta Accreta, which also carries risk for future babies.
7. Surgery of any kind is painful, requires extended recovery, and is never a joke.
8. Appropriating Black culture and music — particularly to joke about birth when Black folks suffer medical racism and disproportionately bad birth outcomes — on TikTok is racist.

Please follow ICAN and become a member to help us dismantle the birth culture that made anyone think this video was okay.

You know what I’d love to see more of?

Midwives and OBGYNs who encourage mama to reach down and catch her own baby.

Let mama’s hands be the first hands on her child.
