“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you're going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”

Happy National Midwifery week! And to celebrate I have been accepted into the National College of Midwifery to become a Certified Professional Midwife, CPM. This has been many years in the making, and I’m beyond thrilled. As a Certified Doula these past 4 years I’ve had the opportunity to serve so many families as their labor mentor, companion, and friend. I have supported their births unconditionally and have learned a lot along the way. I definetly got my feet wet...literally💦, living life on call, and applying numerous hours of counter pressure. I have seen such strength in women and their ability to physiologically give birth. My experiences have only confirmed my passion in delivering safe, quality, and compassionate csre. I am committed to reducing our rising maternal mortality rates in the US through prevention, thoroughness, and continuity. Wish me luck! Drop some encouraging words of wisdom for me below 👇 🙏 👩‍🎓

A fellow Doula had a glimpse of her life captured by local news. What a great story to share!

Oftentimes doulas are confused with midwives but they perform very different roles. Both can be very beneficial during the labor and delivery process.

Happy National Breastfeeding week!
Breastfeeding is hard work, I won’t sugar coat it. It can be difficult for some. It takes time, patience, and sometimes an extra set of hands for support.

Benefits to get a healthy breastfeeding journey off right?

Skin to Skin and lots of it! Babies Temp, HR, BP, and the supply/demand relationship between babies and breast is all regulated through the skin.

Watch babies cues...Not the clock. Watch for smacking lips, rooting, licking, hands in mouth, all before baby gets fussy. A baby fed on demand has a better regulation of systems as a protective mechanism to decrease SIDS.

Yes, it may feel like you are feeding all day and night, and you very may well be. It will get easier, you will find time to sleep, and you may doubt yourself at times.

Keep at it, get the support of an IBCLC, join a local LLL group (even online) and reach out when you think your fed up...there will be such moments of joy and benefits for you and baby long term.

-EDIT-
Like everything through word of mouth, the true meanings get lost and unfortunately the vanity remains. The started in Turkey in order to raise awareness about the high rates of femicide in the country. "Turkish people wake up every day to see a black and white photo of a woman who has been murdered on their Instagram feed, on their newspapers, on their TV screens. The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture that is plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter on top."

I apologize for not speaking up on the truth of this issue. Stand Up = Be Strong

The Breast Crawl is an instinctive response in all mammals to search for their food. A mother will lay the baby on their abdomen just after birth. Within 45 minutes baby will begin their journey up to the breast. Within an hour,m after birth, baby will latch and begin its first feed. Moving to and attaching to the ni**le all on their own.
