The placenta does more than scientists once thought.

A new Yale study shows that it helps regulate serotonin delivery to the fetus during pregnancy — offering new insight into how this “happiness hormone” may shape early brain development: bit.ly/41Ctv0F

Throwback! 10 years ago today, I was meeting all of you at MommyCon DC. It’s so exciting to look back on the families I’ve met and know that the last decade is just a start.

Brad Edwards’ Dads to Doulas program equips Black men with doula-level training to support their partners through pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

The free, hands-on initiative aims to reduce Black maternal and infant mortality rates while fostering stronger family involvement.

After completing its first cohort in 2024, the program’s Spring 2025 session is now underway, offering participants the opportunity to earn doula certification in six weeks.

An organ worth celebrating!

OK, so not every cake can be a teddy bear or unicorn or a really cute sloth, sometimes our customers need body parts. To all of you, Doula’s, OB/GYN, nurses, or midwives who can appreciate this request for a placenta cake, this one’s for you. (And yes, we did hesitate posting this, but the reality is there are all sorts of jobs who require some funny cakes to celebrate coworkers 😂). Honestly kudos to our cake decorators for their diversity in creativity!

DMV Clients - with the expected weather, I will not be doing pick ups on Monday. Please use your cooler kits to keep those organs safe until I can arrive!
