One thing we know for sure

A 2025 study published in AJOG adds powerful, up-to-date data showing associations between doula care and improved maternal and newborn outcomes.

Key Maternal Outcomes:

More vaginal births after cesarean (VBAC): For every 100 patients who received doula care, there were 15 to 34 additional VBACs compared with those without doula care.

Higher postpartum follow-up attendance: 5 to 6 more per 100 received postpartum office visits.

Key Neonatal / Infant Outcomes

Increased exclusive breastfeeding rates: Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to breastfeed exclusively.

Fewer preterm births (and early preterm births): Doula-supported births showed a reduction in preterm birth rates.

In short, the study links doula care with improvements in birth outcomes — across birth mode (more VBACs), infant health (less prematurity), and early infant care (breastfeeding, postpartum follow-up).

And what is it we mean by losing it? Our temper? tolerating what we no longer have the capacity for? Our ability to keep doing all of it all the time? Our ability to restrict what we eat? To be quiet?

I’ve been there. My patients have been there. My girlfriends have been there.

It happens premenstrually, in pregnancy, postpartum, in perimenopause and menopause (where I’ve personally felt this edge of my mind!). And it happens sometimes - just because.

I believe it’s not madness at all. It’s the weight of emotions too big to contain, truths too wild to silence. It’s the body screaming for release, the mind unraveling under the strain of being “good,” “calm,” “in control.”

The truth is, anyone can feel they’re losing their s (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/i/?hl=en)!. The mind and body are one—one imbalance, one trigger, and life as we know it shifts. Neuroscience confirms it. But what if this “madness” isn’t something wrong inside of us - the rage, the edge, the self wanting to be free is a reckoning? Maybe it’s a a return to something deep, primal, something real? To our deepest, truest, wildest selves.

Maybe we aren’t afraid of losing control. Maybe we’re afraid of what happens if we finally let go.

So good to be back with you as I slowly ease into socials, and as always keep it real!
