Did you know the cells you need to conceive a baby start forming three months before conception for women and 72 days for men? To give yourself the best start and increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy, talk with a fertility doula.

Most people who are planning to conceive in the future will only need one session to discuss health background, cycle tracking, nutrition, environment, and exercise.

I would love to talk with you today!

What is a Prenatal Doula??

Hiring a birth doula can be extremely helpful, as they walk the pregnancy with you, providing information and guidance along the way. But some people prefer their birth to be more intimate, not wanting an extra person in their space. Other people are planning a cesarean and don't feel the need for in person birth support.

And yet they still want that support through the pregnancy itself.

A Prenatal Doula is someone that helps in all the preparation leading up to the birth of a baby, but does not come to the actual birth.

Childbirth education, birth preference lists, hospital or birth center packing, and preparing for postpartum are just a few of the things I provide during your pregnancy. I also offer virtual birth support if needed. When the day of your birth arrives, I want you feeling confident, excited, and ready to meet your baby!

If you or a friend feel like they need a little bit of guidance during your pregnancy, someone to call if you are stressed that will be focused on your goals and plans for birth, but you don't want in person labor support, a prenatal doula is what you are looking for!

The Abdominal Lift and Tuck is one of the most effective early labor techniques for engaging the baby in the pelvis. This technique is to help the baby into the pelvis and through the pelvic brim (the baby may be -3 or -2 station).

The Abdominal Lift was introduced by Janie McCoy King, a Texas Engineer who wrote Back Labor No More. Gail Tully learned it from Penny Simkin and added the posterior pelvic tilt to open the top of the pelvis and make room for baby to turn and enter the pelvis.

Note: The Abdominal Lift and Tuck must be done during a contraction. You will want to move into position as soon as—but not before—the contraction starts. If you start too late it will be uncomfortable, so just wait to start with the following contraction.

1.) As a contraction begins, link your fingers and lift your belly about two inches and hold it closer to your spine (each body will need a different amount of angling the belly).
2.) At the same time, tuck in your tailbone. This will flatten your lower back. Bending the knees, just a little, to do a Posterior Pelvic Tilt best.
3.) Hold your belly up and in through the entire contraction. Sway or rock a little on your legs during the contraction, but hold your belly in one place to avoid being uncomfortable.
4.) When the contraction ends, lean forward slightly and slowly let go of your abdomen. Move your legs to encourage circulation.

Repeat the Abdominal Lift for ten contractions in a row, resting in between and circling your wrists and ankles for circulation.
