Do you know someone whoâs pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant?
Do you know someone who is about to have a baby or just had a baby?
If so, Please let them know about my new doula services to the community.
I provide emotional and physical support thru their pregnancy, resources for them, comfort measures to ensure they carry out birth the way they invision, and provide them with the support they may need in the first weeks of bringing home a newborn.
Upon knowing of my second pregnancy, I was nervous bringing another child in to this world, for a various reasons. Our financial stability was crumbling, our marriage was in turmoil, and sharing my love and attention I prioritize for my daughter, on another little human.
I knew that stress affected my body, however I wasnât fully aware how my body would process all of this, even the little stuff, like our truck breaking down, water heater going out for 6 months.
Pregnancy was awesome, I didnât gain a whole lot, I wasnât at risk for high blood pressure or any early stages of preeclampsia this time like that last; I had worked with a nutritionist to make sure of it. So that worked. Now it came time to admit into the hospital near 41 weeks because I had a headache, eventually the midwife let me know she wouldnât want me to go home because the baby was most likely on the way. Soon after her decision, my water broke.
I spent 12 hours laboring, and induced at the highest, without being able to get a consistent contraction rhythm đ¶ that is needed to send the signal to the baby itâs Eviction time. Hell I was laughing and joking the whole time, that is, until we broke the full water, and it was game on. Once the active labor started, I was like woahhh, slow your horses kid, Iâm not ready, because internally ALL THAT STRESS I HAD THRU PREGNANCY WAS BEGINNING TO SHOW UP in form of trying to stop him from coming. (Imagine holding your p**p as itâs trying to come out and feeling ill at the same time, and youâre trying to save yourself from making a mess)
I finally yelled out to everyone in the room â IM SCARED!!!!!! I donât want him to come, I donât want to do thisâ I was internally praying, please God just let me know Iâm going to be okay, because my partner sure wasnât helping or making me feel relieved (mind you marriage problems we werenât in the best situation.) AS SOON AS A THOUGHT THOSE WORDS INTO EXISTENCE, God Delivered, and answered me thru my Doula (who prayed about taking me on, and did so thru the Word of God. Thank you Gracious God!) â YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS, you are AMAAZING AND GOING TO LOVE THIS BABY, you can do this, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY!â
boom!!!!!
I was ready, called for the midwife to come catch a baby! 2 pushes and he was out.
My dream was to have a VBAC and I succeeded TWICE because of my doulas. They are like the coach I needed in the birthing room. I truly think I wouldnât as been as comfortable or successful without my doulas, and would have fallen prey to accept an intervention I didnât want like C-section.
After birth, for some reason I was introspecting (as I often do), and I was grateful for my support team, but I couldnât help but wonder if there other women on the same Labor and Delivery level, that didnât have anyone, this was my inspiration of what would become Womb to World Wellness.
A few months passed, and an amazing scholarship opportunity came forth, and I applied and was awarded a spot to earn my Doula Certificate thru Paradigm Doulas Community Doula Scholarship.
I completed my certification November 2 ,2023.
And ready to take on my calling to help my community become empowered in their birth journey!
I am ready to embrace your families, and bring these little gifts home and make sure you have enough love for them by supporting you how ever I can.
I have experience with cooking thru the service industry, and ready to help cater food for post partum families, as another passion.
Please share, and follow my page and letâs see how I can help you all in my community.
