Childbirth can feel overwhelming, so we shut down and ignore the fact that that baby has to come out somehow, eventually!

So here’s what you’re gonna do Mama 🩷

Number ONE, absorb POSITIVE stories, videos, etc. The best way to combat fear is to see just how beautiful childbirth can actually be!

TWO: Get some movement. You don’t have to be a “fit” mom! But “Motion is lotion”, during your labor and preparing your body is so important. It could also help if you’re feeling a little down, to get moving to release Endorphins 🩵

THREE: Your Provider, whether it’s an OBGYN or a Midwife plays a huge role in your experience. Especially if you’ve had a previous birth trauma or negative experience already… maybe you had a Cesarean and you want to try TOLAC/VBAC. Find a provider that is skilled and supports that!

FOUR: All I wanted during my own pregnancy, was Fruity Pebbles… so I HAD to throw in plenty of protein to “justify” how much cereal I was eating 🥴 satisfy your cravings, but definitely stick to an 80/20 ratio for Whole Foods and “junk”.

FIVE: Take a course!! Whether it’s mine, Hypnobirthing, your Hospital’s, etc. Doesn’t matter, EDUCATION = EMPOWERMENT ❤️

"Embracing the Journey of Motherhood: A Tale of Nourishment and Love 💕

It’s
In the tender bond between mother and child, there lies a miraculous connection that blossoms through the timeless act of breastfeeding. It is a journey that goes beyond nourishment – it's a symphony of emotions, resilience, and pure love.

As we cradle our little ones close, we become the storytellers of their earliest chapters, weaving a tapestry of affection and care. Breastfeeding nurtures not just their tiny bodies but also their hearts and souls, fostering an unbreakable bond that will forever shape their world.

In this beautiful dance of motherhood, let's embrace the challenges and cherish the triumphs. From the sleepy midnight feedings to the joyous giggles that follow, each moment is a testament to the strength and dedication that lies within us.

Today, we celebrate the power of motherhood, the nourishment of breastfeeding, and the extraordinary love that fills our hearts. Let's lift each other up, share our stories, and inspire one another on this incredible journey.

To all the amazing mothers out there, you are cherished, admired, and loved. Your journey is unique and beautiful, and your choice to breastfeed is a gift to your child and yourself. Keep shining, keep embracing, and keep nourishing – for you are extraordinary in every way. 🌟

I hope everyone is having a fantastic summer so far! After a little break, I'm excited to announce I am accepting new clients again!

So, if you or anyone you know is looking for a private doula in the DFW area, send them my way.
In addition to this announcement, after searching and learning as much as I can for the mommas that wish to stay home with their babies I have an e-book and opportunity for you.

A few months ago I watched a few clients struggle with the idea of daycare and returning to work. So I made it a mission to find something for anyone willing to learn a new digital skill or two.

If you have any questions, send them my way! I'm more than willing to help you.

Much Love,
Chelsea Eckler at Olive Branch Doula Services
