Cervical dilation tells you where you are at in that moment, it does not predict the future nor when you will meet your baby.

I just had a client who went from 5cm to 10cm and pushing within two minutes! Others may have a long way to go. Try and stay grounded in the present moment and focus on one contraction at a time. Each contraction is a step closer. ♡

Last year during my postpartum doula workshop, the wonderful shared with us this postpartum tea recipe. This was one of the many inspiring things we learned from the Mexican postpartum tradition of Cuarentena.

Since then I have been making big batches to gift to my birth and postpartum clients. It’s been a huge hit. Chamomile, calendula, dandelion, lemongrass, orange peels, cumin, and rosemary create the perfect mixture with so many incredible benefits to support the healing birther ♡⋆｡°✩

One of the most common birthing positions in the hospital is laying on your back. But did you know it can be one of the worst positions for labor?

The hormones in your body help your joints be loose and your pelvis will actually move in ways it’s never done before! 🤯 But your sacrum cannot move if you’re sitting or laying on it. So FREE THE SACRUM!

Upright positions in labor have significant benefits compared to laying on your back or side lying. Including:

🌿 Better blood and oxygen flow to your baby. Laying on your back compresses your aorta

🌿 Fewer episiotomies

🌿 Less forceps and vacuum use

🌿 Less pain

🌿 May shorten the pushing stage

🌿 May reduce use of Pitocin

🌿 May reduce 3rd or 4th degree tears

The most important thing to remember is to do what feels best and follow your intuition! I just attended a birth where pushing on her back seemed to work the best and had baby coming quickly. She was very active and upright most of her labor before the pushing phase although.

Informed consent and refusal is one of your most important rights when you’re giving birth. Providers have an ethical and legal requirement to provide full information and get permission PRIOR to providing ANY treatment. Unfortunately this doesn’t always happen, especially with treatments that are considered routine. So how can you advocate for yourself? I teach this acronym to all my clients to help them navigate making decisions about their care.

When asked a question or for consent, don’t panic and remember to “Use Your Brain!”

U is for urgent. Do I need to make a decision right now? Can I discuss this? If you have time, then move onto the next steps.

B is for benefits. What are the benefits of this intervention?

R is for risks. What are the risks?

A is for alternatives. Are there any alternatives or options?

I is for intuition. The most important part, trust what your gut feeling tells you.

N is for nothing or need time. What happens if we do nothing? Or, we need some more time. Please check in with us later.
