Birth is birth.

C-sections are birth too.
You don’t have to push a baby out to be a real mom.
You don’t need a “natural” birth to earn your strength.

C-sections are real.
They’re raw.
They’re major surgery while fully awake, done out of love, sacrifice, and survival.

Whether you labored for hours and ended up in the OR,
or it was planned from the start,
you still brought life into this world.

You still bled.
You still healed.
You still held your baby in your arms and whispered “I’m here.”

So don’t let anyone make you feel like your birth was less than.
Because truth is, there’s no easy way to give birth.
Just different versions of bravery.

C-section moms, you did that.
And you deserve all the credit in the world.

You are STRONG and POWERFUL and you can achieve anything you put your mind to.

Planning a VBAC often means carrying a whole invisible load behind the scenes:

🔍 Researching providers and hospital policies
🫀 Healing from a past birth
📑 Gathering records, writing a birth plan (and a backup one)
🤹‍♀️ Balancing emotional prep, physical work, and logistics
💬 Explaining your decision to people who don’t always get it

This mental, emotional, and logistical weight is real—and you’re not alone in it. If you're carrying it right now, we see you. 💛

Medicaid coverage now extends to doula support, and my comprehensive package services include placenta encapsulation. I currently have a limited number of openings available for this year. If the cost of hiring a doula was previously a barrier due to lack of insurance coverage, now is the perfect opportunity to incorporate a doula into your support team.

🚫STOP! DON’T WASH THAT BABY🚫

Ever wondered what that white cheesy substance is on your fresh baby? It’s called Vernix! It starts to form on your baby’s skin around 20 weeks. What’s exactly in vernix?🤔 Scientists have identified lipids, amino acids, proteins, antibacterial, and antimicrobial compounds such as:

🌿wax and sterol esters
🌿ceramides
🌿squalene
🌿cholesterol
🌿triglycerides
🌿phospholipids
and amino acids, asparagine and glutamine

61% of these proteins can only be found in vernix 🤗

What are the uses of Vernix? 📚
📌it acts as antibacterial agent to protect baby inside and outside the womb
📌protective covering while going through the birth canal
📌allows baby to pick up good back bacteria and leave behind overgrowth of bad bacteria
📌protects baby from meconium exposure(baby’s first p**p)
📌it acts as insulation by maintaining your baby’s body temperature. Infants who are immediately washed have a significantly higher rate of heat loss
📌acts as a lubricant and decreases friction during birth and reducing infant trauma
📌it smells like mama and helps keep baby calm after birth
📌your baby swallows Vernix in the womb. The same proteins found in vernix are the same as those in breastmilk. This helps baby’s digestive tract to be ready to breastfeed.
📌keeps baby’s skin soft and subtle

Why do nurses rub it off? 🤔
Many policies in the hospital system are outdated but still practiced. We were taught that Vernix was a risk of germs. You can ask staff to please reduce rubbing of baby to preserve Vernix on baby’s skin! When baby has their first skin to skin contact with you, this is the perfect time to rub it in, not rub it off.

MAJORITY OF VERNIX IS ABSORBED 24 HOURS AFTER BIRTH BUT ISNT FULLY ABSORBED TILL 5-6 DAYS AFTER BIRTH! LETS GIVE OUR BABIES TIME ABSORB THIS DELICIOUS CREAM THAT SCIENTISTS ARE SO DESPERATELY TRYING TO DUPLICATE BUT CANNOT!
