Birth-Days are my favorite! Seeing the warmer and resting in its glow as we wait for baby has become a favorite piece of labor.

To my Mom on my birthday - Happy 32nd anniversary of my birth 😂. Each year we have celebrated my life and ignored the idea that on this day 32 years ago your body struggled and strived to bring me into this world, and it was the day you fully stepped into being a mother. While I was in attendance, I will never fully know or remember what it was like on the day I was born, your struggle through pain and discomfort while holding onto the hope of holding your child. Now that I have had my own children I know a little of what it might have been like. But today I want to say thanks for being my Mom. For holding me when I was hurt and teaching me what I needed to know to be a grown adult, and for bringing me into this world. While you and I are imperfect I am so thankful that God gave me you as my mom. I love you Mom! 🍰🎂🎁

{Dilation Stages}
10 centimeters... what does that even mean? Especially here in America where we use inches for measuring. My family eats so much fruit that I thought this would be a great way to describe the dilation measurements.
10 cm - Melon
9 cm - Papaya
8 cm - Dragon Fruit
7 cm - Grapefruit
6 cm - Kiwi
5 cm - Lime
4 cm - Banana
3 cm - Grape
2 cm - Cherry
1 cm - Blueberry
How have you seen these dimensions explained that helped?

{Good Things Take Time - Be Patient }
40 weeks of pregnancy can feel like a lifetime. As I near the due date of each of my clients I hear the frustration and desire to be done with the birthing process. We discuss how this time is indeed frustrating but it's also a time for our babies lungs to fully develop, for their brains to continue to grow and for us to get the rest we need to sustain us in labor and in the newborn days when sleep is elusive.
Tips for passing the time:
1 - Make fun plans - like a date night, dinner party, or outing that you won't be able to do with a newborn
2 - Go for a walk - getting outside and moving raises your endorphin levels and can help you reset your attitude.
3 - Rest - this may be hard but remember that one day your baby will be here and you won't be able to just lay in bed or on the couch all day!
4 - Call a friend - likely, after baby arrives your friends will be calling you but now is a great time to spend quality time with your friends or family too!
How did you pass the time before birth?

It’s been awhile since I posted, but it’s been a busy month for me offline. This sweet babe is almost 3 weeks old and I got some sweet snuggles during my postpartum visit today! 2 out of 3 births done for my DONA certification! I’m available for more clients but will be limiting my availability, so reach out if you’re looking for a doula!

We can choose what we focus on during labor or stressful times. Fill your heart and mind with truth so that you can remember it when you need it.

Many women leave their labor and delivery unsatisfied because they feel they were told what was happening rather than being involved in decisions that were being made. As a doula, I help you to advocate for yourself and to prepare to ask questions/make decisions ahead of time! I know from experience that labor is not the time to be thinking through these things. I work with my clients to think through major decisions ahead of time to make labor and delivery easier. But when the unexpected happens, I also help them get the information they need by asking their medical team these questions and advocating for them to make their own decision!
