Labor of Love Birth Services CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION * COMPLETE PRENATAL, LABOR AND BIRTH SUPPORT * POSTPARTUM DOULA SERVICES

"A birth doula is a labor support person who attends to the emotional and physical comfort needs of laboring women to smooth the labor process. They use massage, positioning suggestions, etc., to help labor to progress as well as possible. A birth doula joins a laboring woman either at her home, birth center, or hospital and remains with her until a few hours after the birth. In addition to emotional, physical and informational support, doulas work as advocates of their client’s wishes and may assist in communicating with medical staff to obtain information for the client to make informed decisions regarding medical procedures. They are skilled in offering families evidence-based information and support on breastfeeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, mother-baby bonding, and coping skills for new parents. The doula is an ally and occasional mentor for the father or partner. Their respective roles are similar, but the differences are crucial. The father or partner typically has little actual experience in dealing with the often-subtle forces of the labor process, and may receive enormous benefit from the presence of a doula, who is familiar with the process of birth. Even more important, many fathers experience the birth as an emotional journey of their own and find it hard to be objective in such a situation, and a doula facilitates the family process. Studies have shown that fathers usually participate more actively during labor with the presence of a doula than without one. A responsible doula supports and encourages the father in his support style rather than replaces him."

Your reproductive system is not something that needs to be suppressed. Even if you're not trying to get pregnant right now, you might someday. I love it when women come in BEFORE they start TTC to see if they can work on their hormone health & menstrual balance. There are ways to avoid pregnancy besides hormonal contraception. Just ask us! Your uterus was created to house babies & your menstrual cycle was created to foster pregnancy. You may want to do that & haven't been able to, or are not in the right relationship or season for it, or maybe don't want to do it all for various reasons. But consider that suppressing your normal cycles has many drawbacks & birth control can have many side effects especially on mood & the cardiovascular system. If you have horrible periods, work with a knowledgeable women's health practitioner to work out what is causing it & get on a plan to address the underlying issues. There is nothing that birth control "regulates" or "fixes." It just turns off a natural hormonal system & substitutes a fake (not real hormones but synthetic steroid drugs) override system. Get your underlying hormones or structural/medical problems addressed. You deserve to have your issues taken seriously!

A large study of more than 264,000 women examined the link between birth control and depression.

This photo of what a 7 year IUD looked like upon removal was shared on a support group and shared with permission. "Where did the copper go?" The answer is that it is embedded in this woman's uterine wall and now needs to be removed surgically. Sending warm support to her in that process:( Unfortunately, this problem is just one of a long list of adverse effects from both Copper & Hormonal IUDs.

Absolutely! 100% this! I have proudly given my whole heart and body over to serving WOMEN—mothers—for almost 30 years and I won’t be party to erasing their sacred titles.

She is not a ‘birthing person’. She is a mother, and before she held that subtitle, she was always a woman. If she moved her hand away to expose her breast, Instagram would take this down like it did the other day. If it was a male identifying as a female and even vice versa, that ni**le would have been okay. Don’t TELL me that you look at this photo without assumption of the biological gender being a FEMALE. We KNOW a woman’s body. We know that only she grows and births a baby. This strong push to re-train your brain on definitions you’ve always known is pitiful. If you work in birth and you’re confused about why you’re not booking clients but are going with the flow to say ‘birthing person’, you’re missing a lot of beautiful opportunities to witness women becoming mothers. Where are all your birthing persons? Are they giving birth or does it just make you feel so inclusive to exclude mothers?
