Midwives and doulas both show up for you at birth, but they do very different things. Knowing the difference helps you build the support team that's right for YOU. 🤍

đź©ş A midwife is a medical provider. They are clinically trained to monitor and care for you and your baby throughout pregnancy and birth. Depending on their license and location, a midwife can check your vitals, perform cervical exams, order labs, help catch baby, repair tears, and prescribe certain medications based on licensure.

There are several types of midwives you might encounter:

🔹 CNM — Certified Nurse Midwife

🔹 CPM — Certified Professional Midwife

🔹 CM — Certified Midwife

🔹 LM — Licensed Midwife

🔹 TM — Traditional Midwife

🤲 A birth doula is a support person, not a medical provider. They don't perform clinical tasks — instead, they provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth. Think: breathing through contractions with you, advocating for your wishes, comfort measures like hip squeezes, making sure you feel seen and heard and support your partner.

Both are incredibly valuable. Neither replaces the other.

Birth doulas are there to educate, support, and advocate for expecting parents throughout the birthing journey. 🤍✨

Doulas help families:

• Learn their options

• Create birth plans

• Feel confident advocating for their choices

• Provide comfort measures during birthing process

They often come to your home in early labor, help you labor down, and stay by your side through the birth process offering physical, emotional, and educational support. đź’«

Research has shown that doula support may help:

• Shorten labor

• Reduce the use of pain medication

• Lower epidural and Pitocin use

• Reduce forceps, vacuum, and cesarean births

• Improve breastfeeding success

• Lower the risk of postpartum depression

Support matters. Education matters. Feeling safe and empowered during birth matters. 🤍

On your birthing game day, your midwife may stay by your side the entire time—or come and go throughout labor depending on her practice style and birth setting. 🤍✨

At home births and birth centers, midwifes provide both labor support and immediate postpartum care for mom and baby.

This can include:

• Supporting placenta birth

• Monitoring postpartum bleeding

• Repairing tears if needed

• Performing newborn assessments

• Measuring baby’s weight and height

• Administering newborn medications or tests with parental consent

Midwives also have different levels of training and experience. Some may support:

• Breech vaginal birth

• Twin birth

• VBAC or HBAC births

What a midwife offers depends on her training, experience, comfort level, supervising requirements, and state laws. đź’«

Midwifery care has been supporting birth long before modern obstetrics existed. 🤍

Midwives typically care for low-risk women and support physiological birth throughout conception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. ✨

Depending on their licensure, some midwives can also provide well-woman care and routine exams.

Midwives train through education programs, hands-on clinical work, and apprenticeships alongside experienced midwives.

They may attend births in:

• Homes

• Birth centers

• Hospitals

Midwives are not trained to perform cesareans, so if a higher level of care becomes necessary, care is transferred to an OB for medical management.

The goal of midwifery care is to support healthy pregnancies while recognizing when additional medical care is needed. đź’«

Do you know my trained birthing athletes have the opportunity to pay me to birth coach them, in the moment, on their birthing game day?

A laboring mom needs help with baby position because labor isn’t progressing smoothly she or her partner reaches out for help!

We connect, walk through what to do, baby repositions, labor runs smoothly and quickly afterwards!

Baby positioning in the pelvis plays a HUGE role in how smooth and fast labor progresses for a baby to cross the finish line.

Birthing coaching is an additional perk for those expecting parents who train with me!

(Correction: in this video baby move to left, I said right. Baby was coming from right side taking the long arc around to the left side hanging up posterior creating back labor.)

The best position to birth your baby in is the one your body naturally chooses. 🤍✨

Many moms are coached to give birth on their backs because it’s the position providers are most trained in—but birth is not one-size-fits-all.

Movement matters.

Gravity matters.

Your comfort matters.

When you’re upright or moving freely, your pelvis can open more naturally and create space for your baby during birth. 💫

Your body was designed to birth.

Your baby was designed to be born.

Trust your instincts, listen to your body, and remember that you have options during labor. 🤍

Lots of letters are used for baby’s position in utero.

L-Left and R-Right is referring to which side of mom’s body is baby.
O-Occiput is referring to back of baby’s head.
A-Anterior, T-Transverse, P-Posterior is referring to front, middle, back of mom’s pelvis.

Baby position is all about…Where is the back of baby’s head in mom’s body?

OA-Occiput Anterior
LOA-Left Occiput Anteriorâś…
LOT-Left Occiput Transverse
LOP-Left Occiput Posterior
OP-Occiput Posterior
ROP-Right Occiput Posterior
ROT-Right Occiput Transverse
ROA-Right Occiput Anterior

Optimal baby position to enter the pelvis for birth is LOA!!

Good body positions in pregnancy, hydration, good sleep, balanced pelvis, exercise will help encourage baby into this optimal position.

Babies move around throughout pregnancy and birth.

Keep encouraging baby to the optimal position.

YES it can be constant work!!

Baby will adjust and move around your body what is comfortable for baby.

Start early in pregnancy to encourage baby to be head down and on the left side of your body.

This is natural and normal for baby and part of the innate birthing process.

Babies LOA navigate the pathway and cross the finish line smoother and faster!

I know it’s not always perfect and babies can be born facing all kinds of ways BUT have baby adjust to your good body habits not you adjust around baby.

It’s a different way to think about it!!

Start early in pregnancy to establish good body habits and routines!!

The m3ntal process of doing something physically hard:

Let’s do the MURPH!!🇺🇸It’s NOT that bad.
This will be so fun.
No problem, I can do this!!
We do it every year!

🇺🇸MURPH breakdown with 10lb weighted vest:
1 mile run
10 sets of 10 pulls ups, 20 push ups, 30 air squats to equal 100 pulls ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats
1 mile run

1 mile run in Set 1 starting pull ups, push ups, squats:
Not too bad, I still feel good, I can do this.
This is tolerable.

5 sets in of pulls ups, push ups, squats:
I’m only half way done?
I’m half way done, down hill slope.
I can do this!

7 sets in of pull ups, push ups, squats:
This is terrible! What was I thinking!
My body is burning and wobbly.
I don’t think I’m going to make it!
I can’t do this!
Who said this would be a good idea!

(Personal pep talk to self: Krisha, don’t stop, just keep moving. The soldiers had it way worse than this. You are remembering and honoring those soldiers and their family.)

Set 8 of pull ups, push ups, squats:
Oh my gosh I’m so close to being finished but so far away yet.
Grind, Grind, Grind
I’m going to be so sore later.
I hurt, it’s hot, my muscles are so tired.
This vest is so heavy!

Set 10 of pull ups, push ups, squats:
Last set, you can do this!
Feel the burn, it’s almost over.
I’m so nauseous, I think I might puke…
Don’t give up now.
Take a shot of super honey.

Don’t lay down, don’t you dare…you have a mile to run.
Keep moving, don’t stop.
Keep moving, don’t stop.
Keep moving, don’t stop.
FINISH

I’m exhausted, nauseous, hot, don’t touch me.
Let me just lie here for a few minutes.
Breathe.

This is literally what goes thru an athletes mind while doing physical hard training, workouts or competitions.

It is the EXACT m3ntal roller coaster through the birthing process!!

It ALL takes mental toughness!!

The body is so much more powerful and resilient that the mind wants it to be.

TRAIN FOR IT!!👉🏼trainforbirth.com

🚥Step up to the starting line of your birthing marathon with confidence, get it in there and get it DONE!!

It takes an extreme amount of m3ntal toughness!!

👊🏻Your body is created to endure extreme physically hard labor to expand your family dynamic!!
