Serving Monmouth and Ocean Counties, NJ Consider adding a Birth Doula to your team! How can a doula help?

Worried labor will be too intense, or afraid you won't be able to handle the pain? A Doula provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a woman and her birth partner; empowering them, allowing for a more positive birth experience and creating lifelong memories. Birth Doula Services Include:
​
Prenatal –
· Services begin with a complimentary consultation. At this visit we will get to know one another and chat about your vision for your upcoming birth and how doula services fit in with this vision.
· A prenatal visit, approximately 4 weeks prior to your due date, done in the comfort of your home. We will discuss your preferences, concerns, and how we can work together to prepare for a positive birth experience.
· Unlimited phone and email support throughout your pregnancy. Labor & Birth –
· On call for labor support two weeks prior to and two weeks after your due date.
· Continuous emotional, physical, and informational support for you and your partner throughout your labor. When your labor intensifies, I’ll be there, either at your home or in the hospital, assisting with comfort measures, breathing, positioning, massage, and other relaxation techniques. I will assist you in getting the information you need to make good decisions in your birthing process and help facilitate communication between you, your partner, and the clinical staff.
· If you desire, discrete photos can be taken to capture your labor and birth process.
· Your doula will remain with you for at least 1-2 hours after your birth to help establish bonding with your baby. If breastfeeding, guidance in helping baby latch will be offered to ensure a successful start to breastfeeding. Postpartum –
· Two postpartum visits, one at approximately 1 week and one between 4-6 weeks. We will discuss your birth and any questions or issues you may be having. At this visit, I also provide families with a written birth story and photographs of their birth, if they so choose.
· Phone and email support for the first six weeks after your birth should any questions or issues. Options are available for planned Cesarean birth as well.

This!! Holidays can be hard for our little ones. Sometimes it feel like they flipped a switch…one minute they are fine, next they are in a total meltdown. Allow them space and grace to recover and recenter. They will get past it!

The holiday season is the perfect storm for meltdowns and tantrums. This can be SO frustrating for parents when they are simply trying to create happy memories for their children,
WHY???

(1) A child’s brain is more easily overwhelmed by sensory input (due to an underdeveloped hippocamus and thalmus)

(2) They lack the emotional awareness adults do. Children who can’t identify their emotions or their needs may get easily overwhelmed.

(3) No coping skills: It’s hard to manage your emotions if you don’t have the skills.These take time to learn and master

(4) Unrealistic expectations: there may be pressure to get dressed up, take perfect family pictures, and be in a good mood for meals and events when that may not be how they are feeling inside

I truly believe that when we birth, we are not just birthing our child, we are birthing a new version of ourselves. The journey into parenthood is many things! Understanding the birthing process is a first step on your path. Knowledge is power! Especially in a birthing setting. Taking a comprehensive childbirth education class is a great way to learn the ins and outs of labor and delivery and most importantly, understanding your options for your birth. At Your Body, Your Birth, we offer several classes to help you on your way! Whether you are looking for a natural or traditional hospital birth, home birth, or c-birth, we have the class for you. I’d love to chat with you more about classes offered or you can visit the website link in my bio.

It has been an absolutely amazing year for which I am so grateful! To witness the amazing births of 24 families is so humbling. Being able to share knowledge and empower, so many families with childbirth education remains a passion. I am honored to have worked with some amazing folks in our birth community as well. This year has taught me more than ever the beauty and amazing benefit of having a Doula as part of a birthing team. Having helped so many birthers navigate their journey to bring baby earthside has shown me over and over how our collaboration truly does make a difference… Helping them to remain centered, focused, grounded, safe, comfortable, empowered and heard. I look forward to continuing this work in 2024, and beyond! If you are interested, in learning more about adding a Doula to your team, please do not hesitate to reach out! .catto
