Seeing some progress is hopeful. Mamas are incredibly strong and fostering their intuition and strength is what providers need to be doing all along— not robbing mothers of their power.

Make breastfeeding as comfortable as possible:

Sit (or lie) comfortably with pillows to support your back. Bring baby to your breast once you are situated and well supported. A footstool to slightly raise your knees will prevent back strain.

If you’d like, you can use pillows or folded blankets under the baby to keep them at a good level during the feeding. As baby gets older, you probably won’t need the pillows anymore.

Use positions that allow you relax your shoulders and arms through the whole feeding! The better you feel, the better it will go.

💕BE SAFE FLORIDA! 💕 Lots of parallels with Hurricane preparation and labor & birth preparation. There is thankfully time we have to prepare our minds, our bodies, our affairs, our families. Don’t take advantage of this precious inbetween… seek the opportunity to connect, repair, prepare.I want to help you prepare for your storm— your time of transcendence, transformation to mother, parent, guider. To an other worldly experience that is often indescribable in words—but a feeling that women remember for the rest of their life, like it was yesterday. A lasting impression of giving life, of great effort, of great pleasure and surrender. Do you want this to be you? Dm me or email me at JulietteNurseDoula@gmail.com or go to my website in the bio! I want to guide you to meet your pregnancy, labor, birth, breastfeeding and postpartum goals. You got this!! 💕Juliette

Let’s talk about this sudden wave of birth workers posting about the “the US has seen a significant rise in the rate of planned home births, with a 60 % increase from 2016 to 2023, reaching a total of 46,918” statement included in a journal article in the Journal for Perinatal Medicine… have you read the whole article?

Y’all realize this article is designed to help medical professionals “nudge” maternity patients to choose a hospital birth?

Siblings at Birth!

Not only is it wonderful (& for some calming) to have older siblings at the birth but vital to their education about childrearing. It’s a wealth of knowledge they will carry into their adulthood & when they decide to birth their own babies. I honor parents who wish their children to be present. What a wonderful & powerful opportunity for these children to witness their mother’s raw power!

Thank you How to prepare siblings for birth: Talk, talk, talk: Talk frequently about what your child should expect. You will want to talk about what labor is like, the noises you may make while in labor, where the baby will come out, who will come over to help, what your child can do to help, who will be there for them, that they might see blood, and what babies are like. It is important to explain that labor is hard work and mother may make noises because she is working hard, but that she is okay.

• One more woman in the world who will never fear birth. One more woman who will know and trust her own strength and her body’s design. One more woman who will empower other women -Lily, aged 6, welcoming her new brother. And powerhouse mum, Clare, the OG in this story.❤️💪🏼

When your waters break in active labor things can really pick up quickly! Going from more tolerable labor sensation to really intense labor sensations, and even a quick birth after.

Learning coping strategies in pregnancy can help@you prepare for these sudden and often unpredictable shifts in labor. I teach mamas how to manage shifts in labor and support them during these transitions in person.

It can be exciting and also quite a shock how quickly things may pick up after your waters break!

(Early labor and active labor, it’s all labor the difference is the intensity of surges/labor sensations and frequency and consistency of these sensations, also your emotional status changes from early to active labor— you’re more inwardly focused on your internal coping strategies that we practiced in pregnancy)
