Feeling empowered doesn't have to come from a vaginal birth. It can come from whatever birth makes you feel like you are in control, like what you envisioned and what makes you proud and feeling safe.

If you will feel empowered having a vaginal birth. Let's do it. I will support you to the very best of my abilities and help you in any way that I possibly can achieve the vaginal birth you desire.

If you will feel empowered having a cesarean birth. Let's do it. I will support you to the very best of my abilities and help you in any way that I possibly can achieve the cesarean birth you desire.

Whatever way you choose to give birth, I'm here. I'm on team Mom.

Why I Lie About My C-Section There are many women with a history like mine — survivors of sexual assault. And for some, choosing a C-section can feel liberating.

Thank you ICAN for making us these graphics so we can see the cesarean birth rates of local midwife groups

I would have to agree with this quiz. Answer is in comments.

What Kind Of Doula Are You?! We know that doulas were typically thought of as patchouli-soaked hippies in long skirts waving crystals and moon cycle charts, and some of you may be just that (do your thing)! We have actually had clients open the door and say 'you are totally not what I thought a doula would look like!' Now that…

Don't know if I could agree more. Yes. Yes and more yes!!!

right? Moms don't need another baby blanket or onesie or someone to come over and be entertained. They need to be in bed, with baby, and nourishing food. Not worrying about the laundry, making dinner, work, entertaining guests, etc.

Many people call the trip they take during pregnancy their "baby moon." Actually, the baby moon refers to the early postpartum time of lying in. How can you plan for your postpartum baby moon?

Taking time in bed to recover after giving birth (no matter what type of birth you had and no matter how easy or difficult it was) can have a profound positive effect on long-term healing and recovery.

I would add... Bring them something to eat. Offer to do a chore or just do it without offering. Empty the dishwasher, fill it, bring over paper plates and cups. Change over the laundry. Take the older siblings for a play date or to the park or the zoo. Refill moms water, offer to hold baby while mom takes a shower or a nap. Not sleeping is hard to function so love on the family

Hehehe

What was your 4th trimester like? Was it different that you thought? Did you feel prepared for that time as you did for the three trimesters of pregnancy?

The ‘4th Trimester’ Is A Real Thing (And It Can Be Rough) When I see other moms in their prime with their newborn baby, I question if there’s something wrong with my mom DNA because I’m not feeling the joy.

Let your body help you. You will be happy you did😀

It Looks Like Maybe We Don’t Have To Push So Hard During Labor (Yes, Really) Hospitals in the UK are halting the practice of telling pregnant women when to push, citing a significant decrease in instances of tearing.

One of my sweet mamas. I have had the pleasure of working with this amazing family twice now. Both her babes are beautiful. She is a rockstar.
