Still dreaming of this birth!

Ok, , count me in on this challenge. This is my raw, real moment after my first birth. After a long, unmedicated birth plus a postpartum hemorrhage, I was beat. My sweet doula, Whitney snapped this photo about an hour postpartum. My loving husband comforting me ♥️Never in my life had I felt so tired, happy and proud of myself in my life. Actually it wasn’t until I was a doula myself did I realize how close to an emergency c-section I really was. We dealt with heart decels, meconium, SROM over 24 hours and a significant postpartum hemorrhage. I had the most amazing midwife who I trusted my life with. So grateful to her for staying with me the entire time and truly supporting me through the whole process.

Placenta
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This magical organ is incredible. The average placenta is 9 inches across, about 1 inch thick, and typically weighs just over 1 pound. Blood from both mom and baby pass through the placenta but never mix. At full term, about 20 ounces of mom’s blood passes through the placenta every minute.

Partner support ♥️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a doula I can never replace the support a partner gives. They know you personally and deeply and I am there to support both of your during your transition to parenthood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether your partner wants to be all hands on deck or in the corner making you laugh, I am here for it.

⚡️Afterpains⚡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After your baby is born, your uterus is still contracting down close to it's pre-pregnancy size. Ni**le stimulation through breastfeeding and skin to skin help your uterus to continue to contract to aide with this.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't worry, even though it can be uncomfortable, it is nothing as intense as it was during labor. Plus, you have precious new baby to hold during them! This makes them slightly easier to endure.

Electric Fetal Monitoring
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is one of the ways baby is monitored during labor. There are two monitors, one for monitoring baby's heart rate and the other is to track contractions. This helps your provider have a better idea of how baby is moving through labor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are always free to discuss with your provider options to have intermittent monitoring as long as you do not have an epidural.

Vernix
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
White, thick and cheesy looking, vernix is magic. It is natures moisturizer and protects baby's skin. It helps regulate body temperature and when rubbed into skin, rather than washed off, helps with breastfeeding.

Transition
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿7-10 cm is transition. Usually this is the hardest part of labor. Birth brain is in full force and you are *in it*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿It can be calm and meditative or it can be intense and powerful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌿It always means that baby is close.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How did transition feel for you?

Hospital Clothing
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that you can bring your own clothes to labor in? The hospital will provide you with a gown but if you'd prefer to bring your own robe to birth in, you always have that option!

Did you wear your own clothing during a hospital birth?

True Knot
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In general, the belief is that true knot of the cord is formed between 9 and 12 weeks of gestation. This early gestation is a period where the amniotic fluid volume is relatively large. Paradoxically, there is reported evidence of knot formation of the umbilical cord when a woman is undergoing labor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the majority of cases, true knots of the umbilical cord occur without any clinical significance.

Life doesn't come with a manual, it comes with a mother.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During birth we turn to our own instinctual motherhood to guide us. We turn to our own mother to guide us. We turn to our midwives to guide us. We turn to our doula to guide us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In life we turn to our mothers, our sisters, our grandmothers, our aunts, our friends, our mentors.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who is your motherly manual?

This can help you:
🌿Squat while in bed
🌿Open and expand your pelvis
🌿Use gravity to bring baby down
🌿May reduce length of labor
You can even use it with an epidural!
