🍒 what’s in my bag, but the breastfeeding version ~from our first visit as a lactation counselor~to you packing your back to work pumping bag.

remember offering any amount of breastmilk is still breastfeeding and you’re doing a great job 🤍

if you’re pregnant, let’s get you in a breastfeeding class and if you are postpartum and struggling, please reach out or schedule a consult with a lactation consultant.

things breastfeeding should not be:
painful
complicated
uncertain
stressful
depressing

If you feel any of these, seek lactation counsel 🤍 (p.s. I’m a lactation counselor too) 💓

Breastfeeding is not a solo act, it thrives when families, workplaces + communities all show up with support💗

Can’t wait to celebrate with my community today and if u see a momma breastfeeding this month, buy her a drink ☕️

I’ve actually gotten this question quite a few times, on whether someone should hire a doula even if they plan to have a medicated birth and my answer is, if you want to feel supported, heard and prepared then yes.

I don’t just hold babies, I hold mothers, I hold the family members. I work for you, not the place you are birthing at.

We meet up while you’re pregnant, we create a relationship, we discuss your plans, desires and potential fears. I prepare you for what is to be expected and what may come about.

Also, we can position you in many different ways to get that pelvis and baby into better suited positions. So I’m not just sitting around as we anticipate your baby, we are still working with movement, dance, sway, gravity and so much more.

When I enter the birth space, I bring the weight of resilience, the medicine of stillness, the beauty of culture, and a love rooted in generations.

Happy Juneteenth 🖤❤️💚

The freedom for Black parents to experience a healthy and respected pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is still something we must all fight for daily. (And a million other injustices are happening in our country and world as we type.)

Racial disparities, structural racism, and implicit bias in our healthcare system are real. The info below is from the CDC.

❗️ Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.

❗️Black babies have the highest rate of preterm births (14.4%) and the lowest birthweight (14.2%). White babies rank at 9.1% and 6.8%, and Hispanic babies rank at 9.8% and 7.4%.

❗️Infant mortality is highest among Black births at 10.6 out of 1,000 live births. 4.4 for white and 4.7 for Hispanic.

It’s World Preeclampsia Day 💜

In 2017 my May baby was born 4 weeks early via induction due to preeclampsia. My gemini to be, was brought into the world in April and my life has been a ride since! 💓 I wanted to share a bit of the signs of preeclampsia that aren’t just “pregnancy things”, as my 20 year old self would say, see below 👇🏽🤍✨

⚠️ High blood pressure (140/90 or higher)
⚠️ Severe headaches
⚠️ Swelling in the face, hands, or eyes
⚠️ Sudden weight gain
⚠️ Vision changes (blurriness, seeing spots)
⚠️ Upper right abdominal pain
⚠️ Nausea or vomiting (especially in the second half of pregnancy)
⚠️ Shortness of breath or trouble breathing

If you or someone you love is pregnant and notices any of these symptoms, don’t wait—call your provider right away.
