Their second baby boy 🥹 Grateful to be apart of their journey, we met at a birth education class. Something in me she knew I could help even though she was the most prepared mama I had met! Did meditations daily, rested, ate healthy..etc and guess what! He slipped right out! Unmediated natural water birth her first was induced and in another country so it was a major difference she enjoyed this process way better. I couldn’t be more happier for them 💙

Water birth delivery in and hour and a half.

Yes! It’s possible and it happened, we knew going into this labor it was going to be different then her rest because she had two other babies previously she was induced and birthed at a hospital. She expressed to me that she wanted this one to be natural and at our local birth center with relaxing music chamomile and to their surprise to not know the gender of the baby til it arrives. Since they already had a boy and girl they had a family bet going on to see what it will be lol

Although this was her 3rd child she received unwanted opinions because of her age, saying she’d be at risk, long labor, tearing, etc. she still stuck to what she wanted, and mama knows best 💪🏾

I made sure when I received her text message about her water breaking at 4:50 am that I would speak life into this birthing experience I made sure I did what I could do to contribute to this being the reality for her and her husband.

After her message she still wasn’t in active labor no contractions and not dilated yet

The day unfolded she went for a walk on the beach went to the store to grab a few last items for baby’s arrival, ate a burger and tried to get some rest.

Her amazing Midwife pictured here recommended she use a breast pump to stimulate the sensations to see if it would activate her contractions and it did! After only about 10 minutes! Dilating and contracting! We all were on our way to the birth center where I met them like this. Breathing with her through it speaking positive affirmations massaging and relaxing music playing in the room…

With a few pushes baby came down she was working with it speaking to it speaking to God asking for guidance breathing through each surge

At 5:08pm on 3/3/2022 he was born naturally unmediated in water. Dad immediately said it’s a boy!

Tears came, smiling and joy filled the room we all celebrated this beautiful miracle…they now call Andrew ❤️

💧During pregnancy you should drink 8 to 12 cups of water every day! Water is a major key for you and your baby 🔑 It helps digestion and helps form the amniotic fluid around your baby. fetus recycles the water in your uterus and you need to keep your baby healthy. Drinking lots of water also helps with the recovery process.
🌞Sipping on water may be one of the simplest steps you can take towards a healthy pregnancy and postpartum. 🌞Staying hydrated offers many health benefits: nutrients to circulate in the body and helps waste leave the body.
🤰🏽Did you know it also reduces swelling, lowers risk of UTIs, and helps prevent constipation and hemorrhoids by keeping your bowels moving and your stools soft.

🌞The best way to tell if you’re getting enough water is if your urine looks pale yellow or colorless, and you should feel thirsty only occasionally.

What does a doula (actually) do?
Most doula-client relationships begin a few months before the baby is present. During this season, we develop a relationship in which the mother feels free to ask questions, express her fears and concerns, and take an active role in creating a birth plan.

✨Doulas may provide information and other techniques that can help to reduce stress and trauma often experienced during childbirth.
✨A doula acts as an advocate for the mother, encouraging and helping her fulfill specific desires she might have for her birth. One of my goals as your doula is to help you experience a positive and safe birth, whether it’s an unmedicated birth or a cesarean.

So why choose me?
🌞Having me on your birth team decreases the overall cesarean rate by 50%, the length of labor by 25%, the use of oxytocin by 40%, and requests for an epidural by 60% ✨👏🏽

✨I make myself available to the mother by phone in order to respond to her questions or address any concerns that might arise during the course of the whole pregnancy.

✨I am knowledgeable about many medical aspects of labor and delivery. I can help you gain a better understanding of the procedures and possible complications in late pregnancy or delivery. During delivery, I am in constant communication with you and close quarters to you.

✨I have the natural ability to provide comfort with pain-reliving techniques with compassion including breathing techniques, relaxation techniques, massages, and laboring positions.

✨I also encourage participation from the partner and offer reassurance.

✨I give positive birthing affirmations, aromatherapy, music playlists, and postpartum (After birth)care too 😊

In light of all the love in the air 💋💋💋💋 You or your partner may be wondering…..can we still get it onnnnn while being pregnant?

Here’s some benefits for ya love birds 💜🦜🦜

It can ease discomfort
🌞Since or***ms signal the release of oxytocin, a hormone that can increase your pain tolerance, they can help with those backaches and other pregnancy-related discomforts.

Great for your physical health
🌞One 30-minute session of making love can burn around 50 calories, and it lowers your blood pressure, and improves blood circulation too!

It improves sleep
🌞Helps you relax, not only that but it releases those feel-good hormones too!

Mood-booster
🌞 Even if you’re super excited about your pregnancy, hormones can sometimes cause “the blues”. The release of oxytocin can help increase your feelings of love and joy, bringing you closer to your partner.

Partner-bonding experience.
🌞Pregnancy is an emotional roller coaster, for both you and your partner. Being intimate with one another is a great way to stay connected to each other during this exciting time.

Strengthens the pelvic floor muscles
🌞One of the greatest benefits of making love during pregnancy, especially in the 3rd trimester is that it strengthens the pelvic floor muscles. Regularly making love keeps these muscles toned and strong to handle a vaginal delivery.

Is s*x safe during pregnancy?
Yes ❤️
However, always speak to your practitioner if you have a history of miscarriage or are at a higher risk for one. If that's the case, they may suggest avoiding s*x for the first few months.
