💡 Think an epidural means you’re stuck in bed? Think again! 💡

You can (and should) keep moving, even with an epidural! 🤰✨

Introducing the Epidural Rollover, a simple but powerful technique created by Penny Simkin that keeps your labor progressing, helps your baby descend, and makes birth smoother overall. With the help of your nurse, doula, or partner, you can move through six strategic positions—even in bed—to open your pelvis and let gravity work its magic. 🛌🔄

Don’t let your epidural slow things down, let it work with you, not against you. 💪🏼

🔗 Read the full blog to learn how to master the Epidural Rollover and keep your labor active.

You just created a tiny human—don’t sweat the small stuff like laundry! 🍼💪

Postpartum is one of the toughest transitions you’ll ever go through, physically, emotionally, and mentally. But the pressure to “do it all” alone is a damaging myth that keeps so many new parents from getting the support they truly need. 💔

Here’s why asking for help is a superpower, not a weakness:
✨ It’s normal and okay to need support
✨ Saying yes to help means more time to heal and rest
✨ Clear communication makes it easier for loved ones to step in
✨ Letting go of perfection frees you from overwhelm

You don’t have to be a superhero, just a human who deserves kindness and care. So, let someone else handle the laundry while you focus on what really matters: YOU and your baby. 💖🌿

Are you ready for what comes after birth? 👶💥⁣
⁣
Most people obsess over birth plans (which is awesome!), but then… crickets when it comes to postpartum. 😬
⁣
✨ Here’s the truth: Postpartum is where the real transformation happens. And it deserves just as much prep.⁣
⁣
💡 Ask yourself:
• Who’s helping me rest & recover?
• Do I have meals prepped or support lined up?
• What boundaries will I set with visitors?
⁣
🌿 When you plan ahead, you create space to heal, bond, and breathe.⁣
⁣
Your story doesn’t end at delivery, it begins there. 💛

Epidural or unmedicated? Home birth or hospital gown? C-section or spontaneous labor? 💛 A doula supports you through it all. 🙌🏼✨

You don’t have to fit into one “type” of birth to deserve support. Doulas are there to walk with you, before, during, and after, no matter how your journey unfolds.

Here’s what that support can look like:
• 💉 Epidural? Help managing sensations beforehand + positioning support after it's placed
• 🏥 Hospital birth? Help navigating policies, understanding your options, and advocating for your wishes
• ✂️ Planned cesarean? Emotional prep, hospital support, and recovery guidance
• 🏡 Home birth? Grounded, loving presence through every surge and stage

Birth isn't one-size-fits-all—and neither is a doula's care. You're not in this alone. 💛

Motherhood isn’t meant to be a solo hustle. Trying to do it all alone? That’s not just unrealistic—it’s harmful. 💔

Here’s why asking for help matters:
✨ You get time to REST
✨ You heal better, faster
✨ You actually ENJOY those first magical months

Let go of the supermom pressure and embrace the power of support. You deserve it. 💖🤱

🚩 “We always do it this way” is NOT a reason—it’s a RED FLAG waving for your attention! 🚩✨

When hospital policies become just “because we said so,” your care can suffer. Here’s why you should pay attention:

⚠️ It blocks personalized, evidence-based care
⚠️ It dismisses YOUR unique needs and preferences
⚠️ It can lead to unnecessary interventions or delays

You deserve explanations, respect, and choices, not just tradition.
Speak up. Question. Demand better. Your body, your birth, your rules. 🙌💥

Postpartum feels overwhelming, but bone broth is here to give your body the support it truly needs. 🩸💤💥

Here’s what’s really happening inside your body postpartum:
• Major minerals like iron are depleted 🩸
• Dehydration from sweating, vomiting, or not drinking enough fluids 💧
• Electrolytes lost, making you feel drained ⚡️
• Hormones shifting rapidly as your body preps breastmilk production 🤱
• Healing from tears or cesarean incisions

That’s a LOT for your body to handle. Bone broth is like a postpartum toolbox packed with the minerals, hydration, and healing nutrients you need to rebuild and feel stronger.

Mama, you’re doing an incredible job, give yourself the nourishment that supports all the hard work your body is doing! 💖✨

Think elective induction at 39 weeks is the magic fix to avoid a C-section? Think again.

The ARRIVE trial often gets praised for lowering C-section rates—but it only included low-risk pregnancies under perfect hospital conditions. Real life? It’s way messier. What worked in a tightly controlled study might not be the best choice for everyone.

So before you buy into the hype, remember: your birth is unique, and your options deserve a full, honest conversation.

A doula’s hands don’t just comfort, they change outcomes. 💥 From fear to confidence, chaos to calm. Here’s the proof👇

Thinking about hiring a doula? Research says it's not just helpful, it’s transformative. 📊💖

✅ With a doula by your side, you're more likely to experience:
• 🧠 Fewer interventions (think less Pitocin + fewer pain meds)
• ✂️ Reduced risk of cesarean & assisted delivery
• 👶 Better Apgar scores for baby
• 😊 Increased birth satisfaction
• 💪 Greater confidence & lower anxiety
• 💞 Improved postpartum mental health

Support like this isn’t just “nice to have”, it’s game-changing. And you deserve every bit of it. 💫

🔥Your birth deserves respect and real care! 💪🤱

In many hospitals, patients get treated like numbers instead of unique individuals with needs, fears, and hopes. But here’s the truth:

✅ It’s okay , no... necessary, to demand that your voice is heard.
✅ You deserve personalized care that honors YOU and your birth choices.
✅ Standing up for your needs isn’t being “difficult” — it’s advocating for your body and baby.

Don’t settle for less than what you deserve. Your birth, your rules. 💥

🤯 Growing a human is a full-time job, everything else is straight-up overtime. Here’s what stress REALLY does to your body during pregnancy. 💥🤰

Stress isn’t just “feeling overwhelmed,” when your stress spikes, your body releases hormones that can affect your baby’s development and your well-being. But quitting your job isn’t always an option, so what can you do?

Try these simple ways to manage work stress and protect your growing little one:
✨ Set clear boundaries—say no when you need to
⏸️ Take regular breaks to reset your mind and body
🌬️ Practice deep breathing exercises to calm your nervous system

🤯 Growing a human is a full-time job, everything else is straight-up overtime. Here’s what stress REALLY does to your body during pregnancy. 💥🤰

🚨 This FREE daily habit could save your baby’s life. Are you doing kick counts yet? 👣💥

Kick counts aren't just a "nice idea," they’re a powerful, proven tool to protect your baby during the third trimester (yes, even in labor!). Your baby's movements are like their way of waving, "Hey, I'm okay!" and when that changes, it’s your cue to take action.

💡 Here’s how kick counts work and why they matter:
🔹 Start at the same time each day when baby is typically active
🔹 Lie on your side or sit quietly and time how long it takes to feel 10 movements
🔹 10 kicks in 2 hours or less is usually a healthy sign
🔹 Call your provider if you notice a decrease or sudden change in movement

👶 Your baby should stay active through the entire third trimester, including labor.
📉 Changes in fetal movement can be the first sign something’s off.
📈 Research shows monitoring movements can reduce the risk of stillbirth.

You know your baby better than anyone, trust your gut and start counting.

✨What if the problem was a system that rushes labor, imposes timelines, and offers interventions before support?

They said your body didn’t know what to do.
That it wasn’t progressing fast enough.
That baby was too big.
That your pelvis was too small.
That your contractions “weren’t effective.”
That you needed help.

But what if your body wasn’t the problem?

ou didn’t fail.
Your body didn’t fail.
The system failed your body.

Because when we interrupt the natural flow of birth with pressure, time limits, and rigid protocols—we interfere with physiology.

Your body is capable. It just needed space. Support. Safety.

Birth is not something that “just happens to us.” It’s our body, our baby, our experience. That means we get to make the decisions — every step of the way.

Informed consent is the foundation of a respectful and empowered birth. It means:
✅ You have the right to understand every option presented to you.
✅ You have the right to ask questions until you feel confident.
✅ You have the right to say “yes” or “no” to any procedure.
✅ You have the right to change your mind.

Your doctor or midwife is there to support you, not to dictate what happens in your birth room. 💛

So stand tall, trust your intuition, and remember: you are the CEO of your birth.#Birthwork #BirthSupportTeam #NatrualHopsitalBirth #VirginiaDoula #InformedBirth #BirthNerd #VirginiaMom #NatrualBirthSupport #PhysiologicalBirth #LaborSupport #BirthDoula #DoulaLife #PostpartumDoula #WaterBirth #EmpoweredBirth #BirthSupport #Birthworker #PositiveBirth #HospitalBirth #DoulaSupport #BirthWithoutFear #HomeBirth #Birth #doula #NaturalBirth #Pregnant #SecondTrimester #ThirdTrimester #PregnancyJourney #Childbirth

C-section rates are at an all-time high—nearly 1 in 3 births in the U.S. ends in surgery.
But here’s the question no one’s really asking: Why?

Spoiler alert…
It’s not because 30% of birthing people need them.

Yes, emergencies exist—but many cesareans are the result of a series of small decisions, routine interventions, or hospital protocols that set the stage long before the OR.

Things like:
👉 Early admission before active labor
👉 Continuous monitoring that limits movement
👉 Routine cervical checks and time limits
👉 Pitocin without adequate support
👉 “Failure to progress” that’s really just… slow and normal labor

All of it matters. And it adds up.

This isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness.
When we understand the patterns, we can prepare, ask questions, and make informed choices.

Did you know?
🔹 VBAC success rates are around 70-75% with proper support
🔹 Uterine rupture risk is less than 1% for most
🔹 Repeat C-sections carry growing risks every time

Birth isn’t just a day—it’s a lifelong memory.
The words spoken over you…
The way your choices were respected (or ignored)…
The feeling of being held, supported, and seen—
or the sting of being dismissed, rushed, or coerced…

It doesn’t fade.

How you're made to feel in labor can shape the way you see your body, your baby, and yourself as a parent.

That’s why who you choose to surround yourself with matters.

💬 Do they listen when you speak?
🤝 Do they include you in the decisions?
🫶 Do they empower you when things get hard?
✨ Do they believe in your ability to birth?

You deserve a team that protects more than your physical health—you deserve people who honor your emotional well-being and birth experience too.

Guess what? The majority of women with a prior cesarean are actually great candidates for a VBAC. The real problem? The system often doesn’t give them the full story, or the chance.

“Once a C-section, always a C-section”? Not so fast. 👀
If you've been told you have to schedule a repeat cesarean, pause.
Because that might not be true. In fact, VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) is a safe and evidence-backed option for far more women than most providers let on.

In this blog, I’m breaking down:
✨ Who qualifies for a VBAC
✨ The real risks (and how they compare to multiple C-sections)
✨ How to tell if your provider is truly VBAC-friendly
✨ The benefits of a successful VBAC—physically and emotionally

The best births happen when both are honored. 💛

You’re not “too crunchy” for the hospital.
You’re not “too medical” for holistic support.
You’re allowed to want both.

💡 I believe in birth that honors your intuition and respects the evidence.

Too often, birthing people are told how things will go.
“This is what we do.”
“You don’t need that.”
“We’ll just go ahead and…”
And suddenly—your story starts slipping through your fingers.

But here’s the truth:
You are the main character. Not a passive patient in someone else’s checklist.

🌟 You get to decide what matters.
🌟 You get to ask for what you need.
🌟 You get to set boundaries.
🌟 You get to change your mind.

This is your body. Your baby. Your birth.
And while we can’t control every twist or turn, we can take the pen back.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about agency.
It’s about walking away from your birth knowing you were heard, respected, and involved.

Let them manage the charts.
You’ll be writing the story. 💪

😳 Are VBACs too risky... or are repeat C-sections the real risk no one’s talking about?

You’ve been told VBACs are dangerous.
That your uterus could rupture.
That it’s “safer” to schedule another surgery.

But here’s what they don’t say... 👇

🔸 Every C-section increases your risk of
– Placenta accreta
– Hysterectomy
– Hemorrhage
– NICU time
– Long-term complications

🔸 The risk of uterine ruptures?
Less than a 1% risk when labor starts on its own. 🙌

💛 You deserve the full picture.
💛 You deserve to make your own decision.
💛 You deserve support that doesn’t scare you into silence.

If your gut says, “I want to try,”—listen to her.
Your body didn’t fail you. The system did.

❗️Just because your birth was “safe” doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt you.

You can have a perfectly “healthy” baby…
Vitals steady. No major complications. Everyone smiling.
And still walk away feeling broken, silenced, or unseen.

Because safety isn’t just physical—it’s emotional.

Being told “you’re fine” when you weren’t heard?
Being rushed through decisions without time to process?
Being poked, checked, cut, or pressured while trying to advocate through contractions?

That’s not safe.
That’s survival.
And survival shouldn’t be the bar for birth.

You deserve to feel heard.
You deserve to feel respected.
You deserve to feel like your body and your choices matter.

Let’s stop acting like a living baby is the only measure of a successful birth.
You matter, too.
Your story matters.
And you deserve care that honors the whole of who you are—not just your vitals.

Somewhere along the way, we were told that giving birth in a hospital means playing by their rules. That we have to accept every intervention, every policy, every “that’s just how we do things here.”
But let me be clear:
You are still the authority over your body. You are still the parent. You are still the decision-maker.

Yes, hospitals can be intimidating. Yes, they have protocols.
But that doesn’t cancel out your rights.

✅ You can say no.
✅ You can ask questions.
✅ You can take a minute.
✅ You can make a plan that aligns with your values—not just their routines.

You don’t need to birth at home to have a natural, empowering, autonomous experience. You just need support that reminds you of your power at every step.

Let’s start shifting the narrative—because birth doesn’t belong to the system.
It belongs to you.

Want to learn how to take control in any scenerio? DM to learn how I can help!

Birth trauma is less about the outcome and more about feeling out of control.

When you feel unheard, dismissed, or powerless during birth, that’s when trauma can take hold.

A doula’s role is to support you emotionally and physically, help you understand your options, and empower you to stay connected to your choices.

With the right support, birth can become a moment of strength and healing, no matter what happens.

Most due dates are calculated using Naegele’s Rule—counting 280 days from the first day of your last period. But this assumes a perfect 28-day cycle and ovulation on day 14, which isn’t true for everyone.

Every pregnancy is unique, and your baby’s timing will be too.

Your due date is a guess, not a guarantee. Only about 5% of babies actually arrive on their due date. Most show up within two weeks before or after, and that’s totally normal!

Remember, your baby will come when they’re ready, not when the calendar says.

I’m a doula helping women reclaim birth inside the very system that often tries to take it away.

We’ve been taught to fear birth. Fear the pain. Fear the process. Fear the "what ifs."

So many women walk into the hospital already believing their body might fail them, and the system is more than ready to confirm that story. But here’s the truth: birth was never meant to be feared. It was meant to be owned.

I’m a doula who helps women shift from scared and silenced to bold, informed, and deeply grounded in what they know their bodies can do. And yes, you can do that in the hospital.

My work is about mindset, education, strategy, and showing up prepared to protect your peace in a system that doesn’t always value it.

I’m here to help you rewrite the narrative. To say, “I trust myself” louder than the voices that told you not to. Because when you change your mind about birth, you change everything about your experience of it.

When you prepare your mind, body, and heart for birth, including the unexpected, you step into your power.
Birth doesn’t have to go exactly as planned to be beautiful. It just has to be yours.

It’s not about controlling every outcome.
It’s about building the confidence to handle whatever comes your way with calm, clarity, and solid support.

That is what turns a birth story into a powerful one. Not perfection, but preparation.
