Here are 3 Scientifically Proven Reasons to Hire a Doula:

1. **Shorter Labors:** Studies show that families who have continuous support during labor, such as from a doula, tend to have shorter labors compared to those without support. Our Certified Birth Doulas are trained to provide unwavering support, helping to ease your labor process.

2. **Lower C-Section Rates:** Research indicates that having a doula by your side during childbirth can lead to a reduced likelihood of needing a cesarean section.

3. **Fewer Medical Interventions:** Doula support has been linked to decreased rates of medical interventions during labor and delivery. From comfort measures to advocacy, our doulas empower you to make informed decisions and navigate your birthing experience with confidence.

At Omaha Birth & Babies, our mission is to provide compassionate and comprehensive doula care tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re expecting soon or planning ahead, reach out to us today to explore how our Certified Birth Doulas can support you on your journey to parenthood.

“Count the kicks”… but what does that actually mean? 🤍

Starting around 28 weeks, your provider may recommend paying closer attention to your baby’s movements.

This isn’t about doing it perfectly—it’s about getting to know what’s normal for your baby.

When you’re counting movements, you’re looking for:
👉 10 movements

Most babies will do this within an hour, but you can give it up to 2 hours.

And “kicks” doesn’t just mean big, strong jabs 👇
✔️ Kicks
✔️ Rolls
✔️ Flutters
✔️ Swishes
✔️ Jabs

It all counts.

A simple way to check in:
Pick a time your baby is usually active (often after a meal or in the evening), sit or lie down, and focus on movement.

Let’s clear up a common myth:
Babies do not “run out of room” and move less at the end of pregnancy.

As they grow, movements may feel different (more rolls and stretches than sharp kicks), but they should not decrease.

If you notice a change, a slowdown, or something feels off—reach out to your provider.

So… what is a mucus plug? 👀

It’s a thick collection of mucus that sits at the opening of the cervix during pregnancy, acting like a protective barrier between your baby and the outside world.

And when you lose it?
It can look… interesting.

We’re talking thick, jelly-like, sometimes stringy — even a little like rubber cement (yep, we said it). It can be clear, cloudy, or tinged with pink or brown.

Now for the part everyone jumps to—
“Does this mean labor is starting?!”

Not necessarily.

Losing your mucus plug just means your cervix is starting to change and soften. That can happen days… or even weeks before labor actually begins.

And here’s the kicker:
Your body can even make more.

So whether you notice it or not, lose it once or more than once — it’s all within the range of normal.

Many mothers who choose placenta encapsulation report benefits like improved mood, increased energy, less fatigue, stronger milk supply, quicker recovery, and support for replenishing iron levels after birth.

At Omaha Birth & Babies, safety and professionalism matter just as much as the service itself. Our Placenta Encapsulation Specialists are trained in the Traditional Chinese Medicine method, which includes steaming the placenta to a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees before dehydrating and encapsulating.

We also use a dedicated kitchen space specifically for placenta preparation, allowing us to follow OSHA and blood borne pathogen handling standards every step of the way.

Your service includes:
• Placenta pick up in the Omaha Metro area
• Traditional Chinese Method preparation
• Placenta capsules in size 00 unflavored gelatin capsules
• A placenta tincture for long-term use
• Storage containers and dosage instructions

Postpartum recovery is a process, and for many families, placenta encapsulation feels like one more way to support healing, recovery, and the transition into life with a new baby.

Doulas.
Caring for you in the moments that matter most.

In the middle of the night.
In the moments you question everything.
In the moments you find your strength.

We are there.
Steady, present, and deeply invested in your experience.

It’s World Doula Week, and we want to take a moment to recognize our team.

We (Andrea & Shannon) get a front row seat to the kind of care they bring into this work.

It’s in the way they think about their families outside of scheduled time.
The way they check in.
The way they stay steady in moments that feel big, emotional, or uncertain.

Not just when anyone is watching.
But in the quiet, in-between moments where it matters most.

They care so deeply.
And they carry a lot in doing this work.

We see their hearts.
We see their intention.
We see how much of themselves they give.

And we don’t take that lightly.

We are really, and we mean really, proud of this team.

If you’d also like to honor them this week, drop a line and shoutout to your doula. 🩷💙

Wait… what is that line on your stomach during pregnancy? 👀

That dark line is called the linea nigra… aka the pregnancy line.

And here’s the wild part… you’ve always had it.

Before pregnancy, it’s called the linea alba (meaning “white line”) and you usually can’t see it. As your hormones rise, it darkens and becomes more noticeable, typically around the second trimester.

So why does it show up?
Pregnancy hormones increase melanin, the pigment that gives your skin color. That’s why areas like this line, your ni***es, and even your face can appear darker.

What is it for?
Honestly… we don’t fully know. There are theories, but nothing proven.

What you should know
It’s completely normal. Completely harmless.
And for most people, it fades after baby is here.

Your body is doing some pretty incredible things 🤍

Every birth deserves to feel supported.
