Thought for the day:

If you put a handful of popcorn into the same pot, into the same oil and heat it all to the exact same temperature, it doesn’t all pop at the exact same moment.

Same with labour, birth and babies.

Be an individual.

Pop in your own time 😆😊

There’s “a belief that there’s only one way to know the truth, that it has to look like lab coats for it to be true. I think that is one way that we find out what the truth is… and I don’t think we should walk away from it. And there are many others that predate it and live alongside it.”

“$13 to $20 billion a year could be saved in health care costs by demedicalizing childbirth, developing midwifery, and encouraging breastfeeding.”

This! She is speaking to breech birth, but all of it is applicable to any birth. Doctors and Midwives don’t deliver babies, mamas birth their babies.

I’m pretty much over at Beginnings Birth and Wellness Center these days-two birth centers and we do home birth too! What could be better than that?

Birth is new and important every single time.

To all you mamas...

This photo I made of myself pregnant in 2011 was shared today on the Internet and I hadn’t seen it in a while! It made me smile. I miss that girl, so very free and wild, unaware of how her heart would expand by becoming a mother and how I would feel the darkest of my days in postpartum depression, a depression that never did fully leave me. I felt so powerful when I was pregnant. Witnessing/feeling a human grow inside of my body was life altering and scary and beautiful. I was sick the entire time, I made an art of vomiting where ever I happened to be, I did it with style 😂. In fact I was throwing up while I was in labor! But I felt bad ass in a way I never had or have since with that human under my skin and heart. Wow.

I remember thinking of this phrase, I’m crafty I make people, and it was the first time in my life I actually felt proud of myself for simply being myself! Making a human I was certain my body would not be able to do for many reasons, mostly cuz I had lived most of my life treating my body as an enemy and not a friend. Always wishing she was thinner with flat abs, always chasing some diet that promised miricales and ate up my hard earned cash. But my body? She showed me something incredible.

I miss this freer wild version of myself, but let me be clear, I am proud as hell of the woman I have become over the last 8 years. I have survived so much and every day I strive to thrive, and that means honoring the dark days with resting and tears and celebrating the cloudless days where I have energy and a clear mind! It’s all gorgeous. Cuz I’m still here, and that is a miracle against so many odds and that couldn’t be more damn beautiful.

This post is by a friend in Montana, but the sentiment holds true for anywhere, for any mama

Let this odd period in time be the catalyst to you saying 𝓨𝓮𝓼 to taking what you need. After bringing a new life into the world, suddenly someone else's needs feel much more important than your own.

I see you in your shift of self.
I see you in your late night feedings.
I see you in the timelessness of early motherhood.
All I ask is that you take the help you need.

Letting someone fold the towels and simmer warm, nourishing meals has a place in your postpartum life, even in this COVID crazy world.

As a postpartum doula, I'm available for affordable meal prep & delivery, not to mention night and weekend shifts to help ease your transition.

Contact me with any questions or to set up a time to chat.

The lead up to childbirth is such a huge time. You're about to meet this tiny precious babe. The owner of the kicks. To look into their eyes and feel their fresh new baby skin. It's likely that emotionally you are feeling all the feels. Feeling so very open. And in the lead up to this crossover, you...
