Celebrating Doulas - 20 Incredible Images What is a doula? There isn't an easy definition because what a doula does varies just as much as the birthing people she or he works with. Doulas are there to hold our hands, to reassure us with their words. They can suggest new positions or alleviate pain through counter-pressure and hip sque

I'm totally buying some of these. They work for pregnancy, postpartum, and nursing. I think they are great for putting on right after birth :).

Dresses – Milkmaid Goods

These words are perfect. I hear moms say sorry often. There is nothing to be sorry about at all ❤. Each women births perfect, and normal.

Women, don’t ever apologize for your behavior or choices during birth. When you OWN your experience and take pride in your journey, you help other women do the same thing. No matter how you did it, you just brought a human being into the world! The world should be kneeling at your feet. (Lauralyn Curtis)

Happy International Day of Women! Thank you to all my clients who have included me in their strongest, and most raw moments. You ladies are not only powerful, but fabulously beautiful.

First birth of 2016 was inspirational, and beautiful happy tears all around. Wonderful family, and a perfect little baby GIRL. This little girl was so prayed for her after her moms water broke at 24 weeks. Then after weeks of hospital bed rest her bag resealed, and her mom was able to carry her to 39 weeks making it her longest pregnancy yet. And then she rocked her vba2c! We're all overjoyed for a healthy baby, and a great birth! 💙

Caul photos always amaze me! How beautiful!

Incredible! This is what your babies look like in the womb.

Twin babies born at home in the water. Twin A was breech and Twin B was born 16 minutes later in the caul. Wow! They were both 6+ lbs and born at almost 39 weeks.

Great article!

We don't carry pools with heaters. I get at least one call every day from someone asking me if I have pools with heaters.  I don't, and I won't. The main reason: cleaning.  Heaters work by circulating the water across a heating element and there's no good way to clean inside.   We've looked into this again and again, and Steve and I…

I watched Fire works with my future doula baby last night :)! Love this little surprise baby so much already.

Yes!! If you don't offer a service refer to a provider who does. Just be honest. I was told I was "to small" when in reality I was pushing a baby in brow position. I really wish I was told "your baby is in a hard position to birth" instead of having the blame on my body. Because clearly I'm not to small. https://www.facebook.com/birthmonopoly/posts/1578383295746293

Could giving birth be anymore beautiful? This is one of the strongest mothers I know and I was so proud to be her doula. She is stunning!

Happy world doula week!
