-Photography/Videography I am a homemaker to my husband of five years and to our two beautiful daughters. I draw from my personal childbirth experiences to offer a more in-depth understanding of how support, or the lack of, can greatly determine the fee

lings a mother has when she reflects back on her birth experience. After having two very different birth experiences - an unsupportive hospital birth followed by a supportive home/water birth - I developed a passion for childbirth and sharing evidence based facts among my community. I have learned that every woman births differently and every woman is equipped with primal instincts that will help guide her through her journey. As a doula, my goal is to help follow and enhance those natural instincts in a way that feels comfortable to the expecting mother. Through compassion, a calming presence and continuous support, I am honored to watch babies and parents be born.

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. 🥹

👏👏👏👏👏 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.
