A little less than two years ago this same team gathered around to witness this brand new big sister be born. Now we gather for a baby bro 🩵 You did it again so beautifully, A!

Every time I make a batch of these power for my mamas I’m hoping that in a moment of overwhelmed, these can come in handy 😊 that take a delicious and nutritious bite and remember someone cares , enough to put extra chocolate chips in there! A hungry brain feels overwhelm deeper, makes crappy decisions and is slow to react when it matters. If you’re visiting a postpartum mom, don’t walk in there empty handed, get you this recipe!

In a state that has a current big fat F for failing to keep mothers and newborns safe during birth and postpartum, denying women the support of a doula is downright criminal. ACOG supports your decision to hire a doula. There’s so many benefits to having continuous, unbiased support , that’s all YOURS. Pay attention to the red flags from your provider, you deserve competent care! 🚩 dismissing your concerns 🚩dismissing your birth plans 🚩denying you the ability to find a supportive doula 🚩not discussing alternatives, full disclosure of risks

I forgot to add a good TV show entertaining your doula while you try to nap 😂 As a doula I aim to expose you all the birth tools you could have in your tool belt for labor comfort. I guide you into positions and movements that can aid in your labor progress. We practice these things, we rehearse your labor! Then I’m there on the big day, with you to support your goals! What was your most used birth tool? Have you ever tried a tens unit? Do you know the Miles circuit and how to arrange yourself in those positions with your belly?

Hear me out! Drop the dates, get yourself off that couch inversion, put down the evening primerose oil! And gather some nervous system regulation tools. Can you stop racing thoughts with your breath? Do you have a physical exercise that helps you close the loop, when you feel jittery? Can you activate your vagus nerve and remind your body to “rest and digest”? Tap into some regulation practices, because when your body is on that labor train, your brain needs to tag along fully regulated and feeling safe. Safety = Oxytocin Oxytocin= !birth progression

This one is for the partners! Your support both, physical and emotional is invaluable ❤️ 🥰 My goal as your doula is to help you become as effective support as you can possibly be. 📚 Let’s learn together the phases of physiological labor, so that you can understand your role in each stage. 🙌 Let’s learn how to comfort with your hands, let’s regulate that nervous systems thru breath so you can help her feel anchored in your arms. This moment is yours, this birth will transform you and your family. Prepare for it. Train for it. Do not go in thinking you will rescue her, because you will end up feeling inadequate. Instead become her grounding space, where she can return and find peace after a surge, where she can surrender and be held gently 🌊 Shout out to this amazing couple that allowed me to witness their connection, thank you for taking in my guidance and doing with it beautiful work together. You keep inspiring me!

One of the things we remember most about our birth experience is how those around us made us feel. Listening to birth trauma caused by inpatient support, dismissing providers or clueless people putting their needs before the laboring mama pi**es me all the way off!
