Introducing Certified Birth Doula Kate Linscott, ProDoula CD! We are so excited to have Kate now part of our Bloom and Grow Birth Collective Team. Some of our favorite things about Kate is her safe listening ear, caring touch, her thoroughness in presenting evidence-based information and resources to families, and eagerness to ensure her clients feel supported and cared for both physically and emotionally. She has been interning under Brittany and is now accepting clients as she wraps up her internship! Here’s a little bit more about Kate:

“Kate is the mama of her little girl Elena and wife to her husband, Riley. She has a Bachelors in Education from Southwest Baptist University and taught Spanish before becoming a stay at home mom. Kate became fascinated by pregnancy and birth during her own pregnancy, which motivated her to learn all she could and then help educate others. She is passionate about reminding women that they are built to birth and supporting them through the most beautiful and transformative period in their life.“

Fun fact - Brittany had the honor of supporting Kate and her husband during her pregnancy and birth of their daughter. Such a sweet, full circle moment! 🫶🏼

“Welcoming our second baby into the world was such an empowering and positive experience, and having Emily by our side made all the difference.

Before labor even began, Emily educated and guided my husband and I walk through deciding on our preferences and birth plan. We didn’t just “hope for the best” — we were equipped with practical tools.

During labor, Emily was constantly helping me stay mentally positive and physically changing positions. She guided my husband and I through each stage. One of the things I appreciated most was how seamlessly Emily worked alongside the nurses and hospital staff. I always felt calm and supported.

The most meaningful moment for me was near the end, when things felt so hard and intense. In that vulnerable space, Emily offered to pray over me. It grounded me, strengthened me, and reminded me that God had equipped me for this.

This birth was empowering, positive, and amazing — and so much of that is because of Emily’s presence, preparation, and unwavering support.”

We are so grateful for this sweet client sharing her experience with us and so grateful to have the sweet and calming support of Emily!

Okay but really - statistically, babies are mostly likely to arrive past the traditional 40 weeks mark.

Your due date is a GUESS. Built off of “perfect cycles lengths” and a specific ovulation day.

Your body is not clockwork. Due dates really should be seen as windows of time baby is expected to arrive - from about 37-42 weeks, sometimes a little more.

So going over your due date is NORMAL. We must honor our baby’s timeline. We must honor our body’s pace.

That last month can be a tough final push. Eating well, hydrating well, and mentally preparing to be in it for the long haul and honor your baby’s needs will help you prepare to feel your best in those final days of pregnancy. And we’re here cheering you on the whole way!

I’ll just say it - no one doula fits everyone’s needs and vibe! 🫢

Our free consultations help you (and us!) get an idea for how well we’ll fit as part of your birth team! It matters so much to us that you not only have strong preparation through your pregnant, but comfy support during labor. 🫴🏻

During your consultations, we work to get to know you and see how we vibe! We also go over everything we offer, but the most important part is making sure you feel like you’re adding the right addition to your birth team! 💪🏼

Station of baby matters SO MUCH! ⬇️

If your provider isn’t telling you the station of your baby when you opt for a cervical check, ASK! ‼️

Station of baby tracks their descent into your pelvis. -4, -3, -2 - they’re high and hanging out in the top/inlet of your pelvis. -1, 0, +1, they’re low and in your mid-pelvis. +2, +3, +4 and baby is through the outlet and in your arms! 👶🏼

Without pressure from baby’s head on your cervix, your contractions may not be efficient. A high up baby later in labor can also indicate malpositioning! We want baby descending throughout your labor! If they aren’t, we can work on positioning and movements to get them in that pelvis and moving down which will support efficient dilation! We’ve got lots of tools in our tool chest to support you and your partner in problem solving when labor throws a curveball! 💪🏼

When you hired us, you probably hired us for the emotional, spiritual, and physical support doulas bring to the table - a massive component of doula care! But you may not realize you also signed up for ✨education✨!

Our first prenatal meeting with you is one of my favs - it’s a time to discuss evidence-based information regarding different intervention and experiences you may be presented with at your birth, no matter where you choose to birth! 🤰🏻

It’s designed to leave you feeling empowered and able to walk into birth with a clear and confident head space so you feel empowered to make decisions. ✔️

More often than not, each birth comes with its own ebbs and flows and pivots. Our second prenatal meeting covers all the tools, mental prep, position work, and comfort measures you think of when you think of preparing for birth and a doula. We hope between both of our prenatal meetings you feel both mentally prepared and educated as well as equipped with physical tools to utilize during your labor. We’re here to prepare you before with intentional support so you can have an empowered birth. 🫶🏼

You’re their home. The only one they’ve ever known and continue to sense and recognize. Skin-to-skin matters for you and baby beyond what we realize!

Ohhh this trend has me all in the feels. 🥹 Over 3 years ago, I started Bloom and Grow with Alyssa. It started as a strong desire to provide the most intentional support possible for moms and families.

It has become one of the absolute most sacred gifts.

From the depths of my heart - thank you. Thank you for trusting me. For teaching me the power of a woman and mother over and over again (and in that shaping how I continue to view myself as a mother!). For inviting me in to such an intimate space.

Because of each of you that has trusted me (and my incredible team) I have found more of myself than I thought possible. As I continue moving deeper into the world of birth work, and as I dwell on the incredible number of births I’ve had the honor and privilege to attend in the past 3 years, I cannot help but feel humbled and so immensely blessed.

I’ve told my husband many times that birth work is one of the few places I feel most at home. So here’s to many more years of serving you. 🫶🏼 - Brittany
