Education, preparation and support are all very helpful when nearing your due date.. however what I love and hate about labor is you canโ€™t control it. Essentially you prepare and let go. Of course I believe doula support.. physically changing moms position, offering comfort tools, giving words of encouragement, helps (or I would not have this job ๐Ÿ˜…) But when push comes to shove the MOM does the work. I am just there to remind her she can. Birth is HARD -a person is literally coming out of your body! After hundreds of births and 20 years of doula work I am still in awe of how strong women are ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป Whether you labor for hours or days I know you can do it!!

LOOK WHO I RAN INTO last month at a birth ๐Ÿ˜ Christi has not been to a birth in 7+ yearsโ€ฆ she decided to put on her doula hat for an old repeat client/good friend. For all those wonderingโ€ฆ though the birth was beautiful it did not persuade her to go back on call ๐Ÿคฃ I did enjoy talking about birth with her and such a gift to see each other in our doula clothes ๐Ÿฅฐ

This little man decided he wanted to come at 35 weeks -before our prenatal meeting ๐Ÿ™ƒ Thankfully I was with this sweet mama 4 years ago when they welcomed their daughter. Being with a family as they meet each child is so special ๐Ÿฅฐ

TWINS ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’– what a journey!! Spontaneous labor at 36 weeks. Arrived 6cm. I had her labor on the toilet for maybe 2 contractions, then slight lunge on step stool for maybe 2 contractions, then hip squeeze for a few contractionsโ€ฆ COMPLETE ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ƒ pushing was a bit trickier and much longer. This mama endured and her girls were born 3 minutes apart. Baby B came so fast she didnโ€™t realize she was born ๐Ÿ˜… SNG staff was amazing and yes I was allowed in the OR ๐Ÿ˜Š

Always an honor to support a family while they meet their baby ๐Ÿฅฐ

People often ask me whatโ€™s it like to be at a home birth. My answer always surprises them โ€œnormalโ€ I typically have 10% of my clients deliver at home. This year itโ€™s looking closer to 20%

2023 is off to a great start!

What an honor to support this mama again -and this time with TWINS ๐Ÿ’– ๐Ÿ’–

Though her labor was precipitous (2 hours to be exact) it was calm, peaceful, joyful and exciting.

Watching parents meet two of their children 15 minutes apart was a first for me ๐Ÿคฉ
