Find A Doula: DFW

10/16/2025

“Free Births”
For expecting moms and families.

Please read the entire post first before you comment. No negative Nancy’s please.

Howdy all! I’m in the Texoma/DFW/Southern Oklahoma area (I have a large radius - up to 3 hrs. I’m right in the middle of Texas and Oklahoma.)

I’m beginning to take more “free births” - a home birth with no practitioner. Yes, I know the dangers. I’ve been doing this for 6 and a half years!
Anyway, if you have a client in my area looking for a doula for a “free birth”, send them my way!!! Leave a comment for me here on this post, and I will message you.

I have a pool, and all the things!

There are stipulations.
- I won’t do a first time moms,only 2nd time or more
- I won’t do VBAC’s
- No women with high risk pregnancies.
- If complications arise during the pregnancy I will access the situation and decide!
Ik it sounds like a lot of stipulations, but I am not comfortable with some issues. I only want healthy low risk pregnant women.
And also they will need to see a dr or midwife at leas toward the end of the pregnancy to ensure safety and no risks!
If you are a pregnant woman looking for a doula who will do a Free Birth, please leave a comment! And like I asked before, please no negative Nellies. I know the risks!!
Thank you!!!!

A mother’s love can be so healing and amazing.

The woman who originally made this page contacted me. She was mad. She said I was using this to promote my own doula business. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I have made a few videos to educate anyone who is interested. And I’ve videoed my self talking about what a Bereavement doula does and how to love on the client and support them. I am in no way trying to promote my own business.
I’m looking for women who are wanting to be featured here! Not promoting myself. It really offended me. And I’m sorry if it seems that way. If you are interested in being featured, lmk! I would love to do that.

I love this!!! Dianna gave birth to the future king. Kate married the future King and will be the queen. And then Megan married the Spare. So much turmoil in that family, for many years.

Love it! 💯👸💝

My stomach is still numb from my C-section.
Not sore.
Not healing.
Just… numb.

Long after, I can touch my lower belly and feel nothing.
The scar is there.
But the feeling? Gone.

They don’t tell you that after a C-section, the numbness can last forever.
That sometimes the nerves just don’t come back.

People say C-sections are the “easy way out.”
But they cut me open to bring my baby into the world.

I winced every time I stood up.
I held my incision just to sit down.
I cried when laughing hurt too much.

Now I have a scar that healed…
but a stomach that still doesn’t feel like mine.

C-sections aren’t easy.
They’re brutal. They’re brave.
And they leave behind more than just a scar.

If your stomach is still numb too,
You’re not broken.
You’re a warrior.
And that numbness?
That’s proof you survived.

Sad sad sad

In the U.S., postpartum complications are the leading cause of maternal death.
Not pregnancy. Not birth.
But what happens after.

And for moms who had a C section?
Let’s call it what it is:
Major abdominal surgery.
Muscles cut. Organs moved. Nerves severed.
And they’re sent home in 2-3 days… with a newborn.
No nurse. No real recovery plan.
Just “see you in six weeks.”

Then they’re expected to smile. Function. Breastfeed. Entertain visitors.
While healing. While bleeding. While breaking.
And if they struggle?
They’re told it was “the easy way out.”

Easy?
There is nothing easy about being stitched back together and left to survive.
There is nothing easy about healing while keeping another human alive with no rest and no help.

We don’t talk about it enough.
We don’t support mothers enough.
We don’t respect C-sections, or birth trauma, or the postpartum period like we should.

And it’s killing mothers.

This isn’t okay.
We deserve better.

Hey there y’all!

My life has been crazy busy since I took this over from Abby Barnoski. I have lots of things I want us to do. I’d like to do new things such as a weekly doula spotlight, choosing one doula a week to feature here and tell about themselves and their services. If you want to be part of that, please message me or call/text me at 469.441.9055 or email me at inkeddoula@gmail.com. Thanks!
