Saturday morning prenatals are my favorite!

Bringing education and clarity to clients birth plans is such a beautiful moment ❤️ Seeing how partners function as a team, ask questions and talk about bringing their baby into the world is one of my favorite things about being a doula

I have some availability for upcoming months, set up your free consultation now to get on my books ❤️

I love this! 🥰 If you are thinking of getting an epidural it doesn't automatically = laying on your back.... you still have some ability to move around ❤️

The “throne position” 👑 + epidural + a mirror = an incredibly effective (and empowering) way to push.

When you have an epidural, you can’t always feel where to push, but that doesn’t mean your body can’t still do it beautifully.

Sitting upright in the throne position (head of bed raised, hips open, bottom close to the edge and the bottom of the bed lowered down) works with gravity, helps baby descend, and reduces pressure on your tailbone compared to flat-on-your-back pushing.

Add a mirror, and suddenly everything clicks 👇

You can actually SEE your pushing efforts.
You can watch baby move down with each contraction.
You get real-time feedback on what’s working.

And that visual connection often helps moms push more effectively than just being coached to “push like you’re pooping.”

I’ve seen moms go from:

“I don’t think I’m doing anything…”
to
“Oh wow — I SEE the head!!!”

It can also be incredibly motivating. When you see progress, you dig deeper. You focus. You work with your body instead of guessing.

Bonus benefits ✨
➡️Opens the pelvis
➡️Uses gravity even with an epidural
➡️Helps protect the perineum with controlled pushing
➡️Reduces the need for aggressive coaching
➡️Can shorten pushing time
➡️You can catch your baby!

And yes, you can absolutely do this with numb legs. Your team will support and stabilize you.

Even with an epidural, you can still be an active participant!

Sometimes all you need is to change positions! 👑

Here’s one of the most fascinating and beautiful biological facts about pregnancy.

When a woman is pregnant with a baby girl, she isn’t just carrying her daughter.

Inside that unborn daughter are the earliest egg cells that could one day become her own children.

Three generations can exist in one body at the same time.

While a mother carries her daughter, she is also carrying the biological beginnings of her future grandchildren.

During fetal development, baby girls form millions of immature egg cells while still in the womb. Those cells remain in the ovaries throughout life, and some may one day become the next generation years, even decades later.

Life isn’t just linear.

It’s layered.
Connected.
Interwoven across time.

Pregnancy isn’t just creating one life.

It’s holding the potential of generations.

If this blew your mind, share it. 🩷🥰

Only 4–5% of babies are actually born on their due date 🤯

When you see your due date, think of it less as a deadline and more like the middle of a window.
👉 Two weeks before
👉 Two weeks after

Nearly 90% of babies arrive somewhere in that 4-week span.

This is exactly why continuous support matters. Labor doesn’t follow a calendar, and birth rarely fits neatly into a single day or plan. Having a doula means you have someone walking with you through the waiting, the uncertainty, the “is this it?” moments, and the real labor—whenever it begins.

Birth isn’t about hitting a date.
It’s about feeling supported through the whole journey. 💛

✨ Labor language, decoded ✨

If you’ve ever heard words like dilation, effacement, or station and thought “…okay but what does that actually mean?” — you’re not alone.

Here’s the simple breakdown 👇
• Dilation = how open the cervix is (measured in cm)
• Effacement = how thin the cervix is getting
• Station = how far baby has moved down into the pelvis

These numbers are just information, not a countdown or a prediction of how soon you’ll meet your baby. Labor doesn’t follow a script — and that’s normal.

Your questions are valid. Your body isn’t “behind.”
And you don’t have to figure this out alone 🤍
