It's time ⏰

Time to reintroduce myself.

Hiiii! 👋🏻 My name is Cara and I'm a birth doula and childbirth educator in the Saint Petersburg/Tampa area. I have been a busy doula in the area going on 6 years but I've been involved in the local birth community for much longer than that. Teaching and supporting people during this time is incredibly special and I am a very lucky person to call this "work".

I support families of all kinds and respect your birth wishes. My support includes childbirth classes that are tailored to your birthing preferences in the comfort of your home.

Pregnant and due in 2026? I would love to meet for tea and talk more with you. Check out my linktree or send me a DM.

Do you like my new headshots? I just did them in my backyard today 😁 I need a new profile pic so tell me your favorite!

Pssst..... I'm also looking for 1 more December family but birth locations have not aligned yet. Could it be your spot? Reach out and let's see 😊💕

First time mom

It is absolutely possible for people to birth big babies, vaginally. And that includes first time moms.

I want to make it clear that I know that some large babies do have trouble navigating through the pelvis and there are times where the best thing for mom and baby is to move forward with a cesarean.

But shouldn't they have a chance to try?

With a supportive team, patience and the proper positions, it can be done. Could there be complications, yes. There can also be complications with a baby that is not big. That is the importance of having a provider who is trained on what to do if any of those complications were to occur.

Choose your birth team wisely.

Btw, this mom was never once told by her provider that they thought her baby was on the bigger side, or that she should induce because of the size of her baby. And her baby was clearly quite big.

Did you ever have a provider tell you that and then your baby ended up being much smaller than they thought?

As always, it's your call. If you want to try to vaginally birth your big baby, I support you. If you think it's best to have a cesarean because of your big baby, I support you.

I have 1 November and 1 December spot to fill and then 2025 is fully booked 🙌🏼

Much love,

Cara ~ Your Call Doula

Being informed includes knowing benefits and risks as well as alternative options.

That's it. That's the message 🫶🏼

I recently had a client request the preservative free option for vitamin k. When the nurse returned with it, she said "actually it says free of added preservatives. Not preservative free." (Big thanks to her for saying that)

That sparked a lot of curiosity so, when I returned to the same location a couple of weeks later, we asked to see the label and take a pic of it.

Then I went to Chatgpt to find out. Does the preservative free option even exist? And this is what I got.

Standard Vitamin K1 (phytonadione) injection for newborns in the U.S. typically contains a small amount of preservatives (like benzyl alcohol).

Preservative-free formulations do exist. These are usually labeled as “preservative-free” (PF) or “without preservatives”, and are packaged in single-use vials or ampules (so they don’t need preservatives for multi-dose stability).

Sometimes you’ll also see “no added preservatives”, which can mean the drug itself is formulated without preservatives, but you still need to check the ingredient list — some products use stabilizers like polyoxyethylated castor oil (not technically a preservative but sometimes confused as one).

So, to be precise:
✅ Yes, there are truly preservative-free vitamin K shots (especially those labeled for neonatal use).
⚠️ But not every “no added preservative” product is automatically preservative-free — you have to read the manufacturer’s label or ask the pharmacist to confirm the exact formulation.

Me again 🙋🏻‍♀️ Bottom line, the labeling can be confusing. If this is an important topic for you, you may want to have this conversation with your provider to see what options they have at their birth location.

As always, it's YOUR CALL 🤍

As a neurodivergent person who has struggled with imposter syndrome throughout my life those little atta girls, good jobs and pats on the back have always gone a long way.
