What to expect as a support person in the O.R. + Doula tips!

1.) Expect to wear a “buddy suit” shown in this video…or a pair of scrubs provided by the hospital.
- Doula Tip: cut a small slit over your pants pocket for easy access to your phone for photos 📸

2.) You will have to wear a face mask. 😷
-Doula Tip: put 1-2 drops of essential oils (peppermint/lavender) in your mask. Thank me later!

3.)Have a playlist ready 🎶
-Doula Tip: Baby’s are usually out/born with in 10-15 minutes once the support person is brought back. So if there is a certain song you want your baby to be born to, you may be able to plan it out. 🫶🏾

Bonus Doula Tip: In some hospitals your doula can support you in the O.R. Your doula counts separately from your support person, who can support you & your partner during a planned C-section.
While your support person has to sit back and wait during the set-up…. Your Doula is able to be with you from start to finish. Ensuring you receive continuos support and advocacy 💖🥰

🩸✨ Breast milk is made from blood — not directly from what you eat.

Your body pulls from your bloodstream to create milk that’s perfectly designed for your baby. Most newborn gas is normal, and diet usually only matters if there’s a true protein allergy or intolerance.

Evidence matters. So does reassurance.

Don’t remove that vernix from your baby! And better yet, go ahead and delay the first bath..

When babies are first born, they are covered in a waxy-like substance called the vernix caseosa that’s formed during the final trimester & creates protective layer that’s essential during & after birth.

In the womb, it protects the skin from infection and from becoming chapped or wrinkled by the amniotic fluid. It also provides lubrication for the baby and reduces friction as they pass through the birth canal during delivery.

After delivery, it’s best to delay giving the baby a bath as the vernix is still very important. Its antimicrobial properties help to build the baby’s immune system (along with breastfeeding) and it plays an important part in helping them to stabilize their body temperature. It’s also a good moisturizer for their skin, preventing their skin from becoming too dry & protecting against irritants & infections.

Because of its protective benefits, it’s best to rub the vernix into the skin & delay your baby‘a first bath for AT LEAST 24 hours.. with my babies, we waited at least a week & did a simple sponge bath instead.. their skin is still extremely sensitive in those first few weeks, so soaps & excessive bathing can easily dry & strip their skin 👶🏽✨

✨✨ For pregnant mothers considering a natural/unmedicated birth, home birth, lotus birth, unassisted/free birth, water birth, or simply want guidance on their pregnancy, birth, & postpartum journey.. send me a DM for more info about consultations & my 1:1 mentorship/coaching ✨✨
