For the first-time birther who’s holding both excitement and nerves… this one is for you. ✨

Birth is full of unknowns. It’s so easy for our minds to fill them with fear or worst-case scenarios. But what I’ve seen again and again as a doula is this: those unknowns can hold space for trust, magic, and connection too.
The truth no one really tells you? Life goes on in between the contractions.

There is laughter. There is rest. There are snacks, music, soft words, and deep breaths. There are kisses, whispers, tears, and moments of pride.

You don’t have to be afraid of the unknowns. You can allow them to surprise you, to steady you, to remind you that birth is not just intensity—it’s tenderness, love, and the fullness of this experience.

I believe in birth. And I believe in you.

Some heartfelt words from this incredible July birther ☀️

Thank you for trusting me with your story. Your strength, grounding energy and sporadic giggles were inspiring witness! 🫶👏 💪

“Kat is A M A Z I NG ✨
From the very beginning, she felt so down to earth and easy to connect with, and she supported us in ways we didn’t even know we would need. Kat helped us create a birth vision that felt right for us, and stood by our side every step of the way.

Her soft energy brought peace and reassurance to the process, and we always felt safe and cared for in her presence. During labor, she was our anchor, steady, encouraging, and full of wisdom. Because of Kat, we look back on our birth experience with so much gratitude and love! 🩵”

A cesarean birth doesn’t mean you have to forgo all of your preferences. 🧡

There are still many ways to shape your experience, nurture connection, and feel empowered in birth. You deserve options and compassionate care every step of the way — whether planned or unexpected.

✨1. Request who you want in the OR✨
Most hospitals allow one support person, but you can ask for both your partner and doula. You can also request they stay with you during prep and walk you into the OR — so you’re not alone during those big moments.

✨2. Plan for skin-to-skin in the OR✨
It is possible! Ask for EKG leads on your back, pulse ox on your toe, and hands free so you can hold your baby comfortably. These small shifts make early connection easier and safer.

✨3. Bring tools that ground you✨
The OR can feel bright and clinical. Comfort measures like music, calming scents, or an eye mask can help you stay centered. Some people even use a face roller for soothing touch. It’s okay to ask for calm in a medical space.

✨4. Capture baby’s first moments✨
Ask someone from your team to take photos or videos. A cesarean birth is still your birth story — you deserve memories of those first cries, first looks, and first touches. You might also request a clear drape or have your baby lifted up so you can witness and honor that first moment of meeting.

✨5. Limit “shop talk”✨
Birth — no matter the setting — deserves reverence. You can ask your team to keep conversation focused on you and your experience. Quiet voices and presence matter in shaping how you’ll remember this birth.

✨6. Request delayed cord clamping✨
If you and baby are stable, you can ask the team to wait before cutting the cord. Even a short delay helps baby transition gently earthside.

✨7. Keep baby with familiar hands✨
If your baby needs to go to the warmer, your partner or doula can go with them. This way, neither you nor your baby are alone, and you can feel reassured knowing someone you trust is right there during those first, precious moments.

✨8. Initiate feeding in the OR✨
If you want, ask for support to start breastfeeding right away. Many teams are open to helping position baby safely for those first latches, even during recovery.

My clients often joke about my “rude” labor positions. 😏

I might ask you to get into some spicy or tough moves, but when you trust that it’s helping your labor, those reluctant smiles show up… and so does progress. ✨

I promise being a birth-nerd doula can pay off 🤓 —even if I’m not your favorite person in the moment. 😉

If you’re curious about optimal fetal positioning and labor movements, join me for a COMFORT MEASURES WORKSHOP🧘‍♀️! We’ll explore ways to cope with labor sensations, support your body’s progression, and deepen your mind-body connection.

There’s no single “right” birth 💛 & pain management is just one part of the story.

I’ve seen epidurals bring relief, empowerment, and grounded, connected birth experiences. I’ve also seen epidurals not work as expected, limit movement, or increase anxiety.

I’ve seen unmedicated births later described as chaotic, overwhelming, or vulnerable — and I’ve seen unmedicated birthers express a sense feeling calm, peaceful, and deeply protective.

Birth is full of twists, turns, and outcomes we can’t always control. But one thing you absolutely can control is your team — the people who will support you, respect your choices, and honor your preferences no matter what unfolds.

Feeling heard, seen, supported, and respected is what shapes your experience. Relief is not weakness. Choosing pain management is not failure. Choosing unmedicated is not automatically empowerment.

The core of a positive birth experience is compassionate, trauma-informed care — from your provider, your support team, and yourself.

Every birth has the potential to be powerful, transformative, and meaningful — in whatever form it takes. 💫 I truly believe that, and I believe in you.

Auntie status for the 5th time 🥹💕✨

Such a magical, powerful, and deeply heartfelt birth journey. Congratulations & 💙

Witnessing your love as you brought lil bb earthside is a memory I’ll carry forever. ✨

Doula-ing for other doulas is already a favorite… but when it’s also family.. pure bliss. 💫

And WHAT A CUTIE!!!!! ⭐️
