Hey has anyone tried this position?
I remember the days of hauling a bucket seat around its convenient and awkward:)
Let me know if you try this and how it feels.

A big big thank you to all my be people in my life that support me so I can support others. With your love, support, and friendship I could not do what I do.

I'm just home from a birth and reflecting on my team.

I appreciate you and please ask me when you need help or support. Building community is about taking car of each other.

Thank you and God bless you.

What does a doula do?

Makes a late night trip to the hospital to be by your side with a hand to squeeze and an ear to listen when something feels wrong at 26 weeks. A doula holds the space letting a family's emotions come and go and supports them.

This is what delayed cord clamping looks like 💖🙌🏼💖. "The baby and placenta stay attached until the parents are ready to separate them (unless medically indicated otherwise)," wrote who took such a stunning capture. During birth, 1/3 of the baby's blood supply backs up into the placenta and needs to return to the baby after birth to transition to life outside the womb. Cutting the cord immediately deprives the baby of this large amount of blood, equivalent to a hemorrhage that no one sees, creating the need to resuscitate more babies, and a whole variety of other health problems. Immediate cord clamping is a dangerous routine intervention. Keeping the cord intact at least until it stops pulsing should be the norm and can easily be part of your birth preferences in any setting. Thank you for sharing this majestic picture.
