Your due date is actually a guess date. 40 weeks plus or minus 2 weeks. Meaning you could go into labor any time between week 38 and week 42.

Your baby will come when they are ready but those last few weeks can feel like an eternity. Instead of counting down the weeks, make all weeks after week 38 something to look forward to.

Every day your baby is still inside, is another day of growing and maturing, reward yourself for making it! Gift yourself something every week-versary. Make it something you really look forward to so that you actually WANT to make it to week 40, 41, and 42.

You are doing an awesome job growing a human inside of you! Reward yourself!

In the spirit of the new year, I would like to introduce myself to you.

My name is Lilia, she/her are my pronouns. I am the doula behind Nine Moons Birthing. I am a mother to 3 amazing kiddos and wife to an awesome hubby. My babies have all been born through vaginal births: 2 hospitals and 1 at home. I am been a birth doula for 5 years and absolutely love everything about it. I am fluent in Spanish and English and support in and out of hospital settings. I have a BS degree in Public Health, multiple birth doula trainings, Lamaze education training, and I am always continuing my education with other trainings and certificates to offer more to my clients.
I am passionate about supporting the birthing couple to provide an educated and peaceful birth for their baby.
As a mother, I have experience in cloth diapering, baby wearing and breastfeeding. I believe it is of crucial importance for mom, baby, and family to respect and honor the postpartum period by taking care of the mother as much as possible.
My family and I recently relocated to Sebring, FL and I am now servicing the Heartland area including Sebring, Avon Park, and Lake Placid.

Feel free to reach out, I would love to chat and get to know you!

I have been quiet for a while nesting for our family in our new home. We recently had a cross country move from San Diego, CA to Sebring, FL. It has been challenging but so so fun! We purchased a "livable" fixer-upper and have been fixing and remodeling. I am now ready to go back into the birth world and so so excited to support all the birthing families in town!

Posted • ☎️I am calling on YOU! I am calling on you to personally reach out to your circles – one by one – and put sacred funds into the hands of a woman who has been supporting our BIPOC and LGBTQIA2+ communities for years. 💰You keep asking where your money can go to help? ❤ Do you want to put your money where your heart is?❤ Together we can make this happen by Sunday, June 7th! I encourage you to DONATE and then SHARE with a personal note to those you love. SHARE with your family, friends, your coworkers and your business contacts. Together is how we will make changes in our country.❓DID YOU KNOW: Black mothers in the US are 243% more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth complications than women of any other race. ❓DID YOU KNOW: Black babies die 3x more than white babies in the US. ❓DID YOU KNOW: Black women are 2 to 3 times more likely to die from common causes of maternal death. ❓DID YOU KNOW: Women of color are less likely to get treatment for postpartum depression/anxiety disorders because they fear they will be judged too quickly or harshly by child welfare services and research shows those fears may be justified. Black women are disproportionately affected as a result of medical racism and implicit bias. These are just some of the realities facing black mothers in America.
👌🏾Black women do better, by far, in out of hospital settings with more personalized care. All birthing folks do.👌🏼👌🏽👌🏾👌🏿
We need more access to midwives, midwifery care and out of hospital maternal health care for all birthing folk, but especially Black women and BIPOC. And you can help.
❤This is Nikki Helms.❤ Nikki is a Licensed Midwife, an amazing mother and a birth educator. She is currently working to open a Community Birth Center in San Diego. There are less than 12 black owned birth centers today in the United States. This needs to change and to change now. ✔Nikki’s GoFundMe is set for $30,000. But the reality is it will take double or triple that amount for her to get established, do the build out and make midwifery care fully accessible to our communities that need it the most.

So many additional fears and considerations to birthing during a pandemic. Your body knows what to do and you are strong enough to birth and mother your baby in any situation. 💪

Posted • We did it. We gave birth in the middle of a global pandemic. ✊🏻⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’m not going to lie and say it was easy—breathing through contractions with a mask on didn’t help—but I’ve never felt stronger as a woman, a mama, and human constantly advocating for myself. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We are recovering well (alone) and I’m looking at this time as a special bonding experience with my new baby, rather than the anxiety I’ve had about not having my partner with me. It’s been a really empowering experience, but I can’t thank you all enough for supporting petitioning having partners with us during birth which I’m so grateful for, all of your encouragement or commiserating with me. Can’t wait to share more with you all soon.⁣⁣ 💗🙏🏻⁣

• ✨Centering Black Joy✨
•
Black Joy is a form of resistance. It’s truly revolutionary that a Black person can you experience even a slither of joy! Black people giving birth and growing our families is depicted as dangerous and ridden with death and disease. The trauma story is told over and over and over again. But what about the fact that we were supposed to die but rather the fire turned our skin to leather, we as a people are the embodiment of the Phoenix. To center our joy is one of the most powerful gestures in decolonization, in healing the mother wound that permeates across this globe and multiple dimensions! •
•
Last night I was speaking with my dear sister goddess friend about how grateful we are for all the Black midwives in Oakland : ...about how Oakland has a very rich and important history of Black midwives holding down Black birthing people in allll the ways!! Gentrification of midwifery has led us to make the Black midwife here Invisible. But guess what? We are here and ain’t going no where! It’s an illusion that Black birthing people and families are doomed and have no solution to the horrible treatment and outcomes we have in the hospitals. Black out of hospital midwives have always been the answer and always will be! Look at these Black birthing people radiating with joy and triumphant!! They each have a profound story to share with us. They are healing themselves and there linage as well as the collective whole vía their birthing journey! •

Posted • We all love so I thought I’d share some insight BUT...remember that squats are exhausting! 🥵 So use them sparingly and only when necessary to help drastically. On the left, we see wide knees and a deep squat for pulling out the sacral promontory and opening space up high. 👶🏻 On the right we see lower back arched, sacrum moving out, bottom high up, and thighs turned inward — all to open the bottom of the pelvis (for moving that out!). 🤱🏾 ⁣

Posted • “Am I right or am I right?? 😅⁣

Assuming you both make it past the first 2 points... You may then eventually make it to the impossible task of NAMING YOUR BABY!! ⁣
⁣
I thought we'd named him! I mean... We had a name!! We've even been referring to him as that name... Until a couple of nights ago Simon announces he doesn't like it anymore 😂😭😭⁣
⁣
Arghhhh... Problem is, the more kids you have the smaller your name pool becomes. You've usually used your favourites and any you do like tend to already be taken by friends 🙈⁣
⁣
Sooooo.... Back to the drawing board we go 😂⁣

Anyone else seriously struggling to name their bub? ⁣” |

As a doula, outside hospital birth education is a requirement and in my contract. Education is key for a positive birth.

Como doula, educacion fuera del hospital es un requisito y en mi contrato. Educaciom es clave para un parto positivo.

Posted • Doulas know that a childbirth class can help you prepare for birth and postpartum in many ways, including helping you decrease your fear and anxiety and increase your chances of having a vaginal birth. Celebrate childbirth education and childbirth educators during International Childbirth Education Week January 25-31.
