“Privacy, relaxation, and upright positions make the bathroom the ultimate dilation station during labor. 🌸✨”

Not seeing any progress but too tired to keep moving around? Try time on the toilet - also known as the "Dilation Station" by birth workers.

Where do we naturally relax and release with our pelvic floor? The toilet.

Postpartum visits are like closing a chapter. You leave watching new, confident, and capable parents who were once nervous about welcoming a baby.

The postpartum period is a busy yet slow time. All the feeding, weight checks, etc. But also, time in bed, healing, parental leave.

We discuss the good. We chat about systemic failures - like why aren't nurse visits the norm like other countries rather than dragging a newborn to checkups?

I get to see the beautiful art of an incredible nursery. And I leave fresh bagels and resources for more support.

Doula support because 30+ hours, three shift changes, four nurses, two midwives, but one doula continuously present.

The incredible nurses and midwives from and Bryn Mawr hospital work so hard and with amazing patience to ensure everyone stays safe, healthy, and has as positive of a birth experience as possible. That level of responsibility requires them to work as a team and stay sharp and alert.

As doulas in non-clinical roles, and supporting only one birth at a time, allows us to provide truly continuous support.

What an honor to witness families work so incredibly hard and with such power to bring their babies earthside.

Our classes are designed to equip parents to have a positive birth experience by being an active participant in the decision making process, knowing what to expect, and feeling confident in the overall birth process.

During this class, parents learn about:

*Comfort measures for labor
*Relaxation techniques
*Options for birth
*Avoiding unnecessary c-section
*C-Section Births
*Postpartum wellness
*Breastfeeding
*Basic newborn behavior

These one-day intensive group classes are typically held on Sundays about every 6-8 weeks at WomanWise Midwifery in Montgomery County just a few miles from the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia.

Our next class is November 2nd from 2-6pm.

Registration is below.

🩸'Wait for white’ is a reminder to delay cord clamping until the umbilical cord turns pale.

This allows your baby to receive up to 30% more blood volume, rich in oxygen and iron, supporting healthier development and reducing the risk of anemia during baby's first 6 months of life.

Research even shows that delayed cord clamping can increase survival among very premature babies. While very premature babies might not be able to wait until the cord is completely white, delaying even 60 seconds improves their outcomes!

Doulas help you find your voice. They support your voice. Advocating during pregnancy and birth can help improve your overall experience as an active participant in your birth.

People who feel heard and supported during birth are more likely to report a positive birth experience regardless of how birth unfolds.

Doulas support ALL births. However, when you're planning for an out of hospital birth, it is important to have a doula skilled and experienced in out of hospital settings.

Doulas are NON-CLINICAL, meaning we do not assist with medical aspects of birth. However, additional training helps us stay calm and better support parents should anything unexpected pop up.

Maria partnered with to assist Erin Kershaw with building her comprehensive home birth preparation class at

A repost from ACOG:

Today’s FDA panel on SSRIs in pregnancy lacked balance and failed to reflect the evidence. Untreated depression and anxiety can lead to serious health risks for pregnant patients. SSRIs can be lifesaving and life-changing. Patients deserve access to evidence-based, compassionate care. ACOG will continue to advocate for research and safe mental health treatment in pregnancy.
