Blessed Birth Doula of CNY

01/17/2026

I have witnessed the NEED for Cesareans -- emergent and non-emergent -- and I am thankful for surgeons and their skills. However, the majority of the cesareans I've seen have been due to trying to force labor to begin or into an artificial timeline with multiple unnecessary interventions. Women, their husbands, and their babies deserve better.

We've all been sold a *bill of goods.

*To be "sold a bill of goods" means you were deceived, tricked into believing something false, or persuaded to accept something worthless as if it were valuable, often through lies or misrepresentation.

Some years are business building years.

This year was so filled with direct client care that there wasn't as much happening on the business/social media side of things! But on second thought, lots of direct client care IS business building, and more importantly for us, it's heart-fulfilling. Birth work is our calling! 💛

2025:

Birth Doula clients: 42
Midwifery Assistant clients: 10
Lactation support clients: 40
Postpartum families supported (day and overnight support): 10
Classes taught: 20

Jill completed her training and now adds Body Ready Method Certified to her skills!

Elizabeth completed her training and is now a Birth Arts International Certified Midwifery Assistant!

Having a baby in 2026? We hope you'll keep us in mind for whatever type of support you might need. Happy New Year everyone! ✨💛💫🩵✨

I haven't been on social media much lately. Between direct client care and caring for my own family, it doesn't leave much time for creating FB and Instagram posts. Anyway, I'm here, get in touch if you're looking for support!

Also, I have space in my All About Labor and Birth class next week: Dec. 13 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm. Email, call or text to register.

"Whenever and however you intend to give birth, your experience will impact your emotions, your mind, your body, and your spirit for the rest of your life."

Maybe this is for you today 💛✨

I'm nostalgic often, since my youngest is almost 9. I wish I would have enjoyed those baby days more, appreciated my body more. Don't make my mistakes 💛

Make decisions about birth with confidence. The Take Charge of Your Birth series gives you access to the most current medical research on labor pain and induction.

Each book combines clear summaries with practical strategies, so you can evaluate your options and take charge of your birth.

As we approach Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, please remember this. Don't get pushed into an induction of convenience.

"In reality, bodies, babies and pregnancy lengths vary.

In reality, we exhibit individual variation, and there is actually a wide span of time in which babies can be born and be healthy.

In other words, normal is a range and not just one fixed point.

One size hardly ever fits all."

That's a quote from my book, In Your Own Time: how western medicine controls the start of labour and why this needs to stop.

It also features on my induction information hub, which is at https://www.sarawickham.com/induction

We have links to loads of recent resources and blog posts, as well as links to original research and evidence and, of course, more info about my books.

We hope you find it useful.
