Birthing Rainbows

07/29/2023

Sometimes we have to leave our comfort zone for growth. We are capable of doing hard things, even if the hard thing is challenging our own beliefs and fears. Even if the hard thing is changing everything we’ve ever known in order to have a better outcome.

Also, I’ve been team Birkenstock for a while now but no one says we can’t wear heels once in a while 😂 it’s called, balance. Thanks Barbie!

Doulas doing things… swipe to see me sick of always being the taller one 😂. Never ever sick of working with Loreal to love on new and expecting families though!

Sometimes at a birth all that’s needed is time and patience. At this particular one, I noticed the parents needing a little assistance remaining calm so I put in a song that always soothes me. Turns out, we had both seen in concert recently and were big fans. We ended up listening to both albums in repeat for a few hours, chatting, laughing and even napping.

Music is one of my fave things and my favorite way to connect with others so this was a super special thank you. I love what I doula. To be honest, San Antonio has never felt like home to me but the connections I continue to make here as a birth worker fill my heart daily. Thank you for all the pockets of joy I have all over the city now, thank y’all for accepting me. Love you!

I’m definitely crying! My oldest was able to witness both of her siblings births and we are so grateful for that experience. This is beautiful 😍

Thank you for sharing

“Greleigh has dreamed of helping bring one of her siblings into the world for several years now! After 2020 robbed her of that, we weren’t sure it would ever happen as we thought our family was complete! We didn’t know at that time that God would change our hearts and that we would not only have another baby, but a baby girl 🥹 Greleigh has dreamed of having a sister & we prayed someday she would get one…well God delivered big time! She not only got her sister after 4 brothers but she got to be there for her entire labor, help catch her and place her in my arms! There wasn’t a dry eye in the room y’all and I cry ever time I watch this video! 😭 My girls….saying that still just feels so surreal! 🤍 ”

It’s Noah’s one week birthday so this is a Saron appreciation post! 💛🥳 Saron was our birth doula who supported and guided Bill and me as we brought Noah earth side. Throughout our pregnancy and labor/birth journey, Saron was a centering light and a calming balm when we needed her most. Saron helped us discern challenging decisions as we maneuvered a labor/birth that looked much different than what we had imagined. Through it all, Saron’s strength, compassion, and care shined through to help us feel empowered, strengthened, and safe as we journeyed to welcome Noah into the world. Saron helped us every step of the way during labor/birth to, as she puts it, surrender to the unimaginable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Saron. We love you very much.

Bill and I connected with Saron through Rooted Birth which is an amazing doula collective here in San Antonio. Throughout pregnancy, Bill and I learned how deeply important doulas, as well as midwives and other birth workers, are to reproductive justice and maternal health. Saron and Rooted Birth practice and imagine a more liberatory world where birth is empowering, safe, and healing. This is essential, life-giving work in a world where white supremacy, capitalism, and patriarchy try their damndest to control and manipulate the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum process. We are so thankful to continue learning from Saron and the Rooted Birth Collective to imagine, create, and practice a world that can be!
