They are one. This position is very powerful.

This is a wonderful birthing position that women frequently and instinctively take when not encumbered by someone else’s rules about where and how they should give birth. The sacrum, ischial tuberosities and soft connective tissues are are freely moving, opening the bottom (outlet) of the pelvis allowing baby to pass through more easily and quickly. The woman can reach down and feel her tissues stretching, guiding the birth of her baby. From here she can move into hands and knees, an asymmetrical lunge, reclining or even standing—whatever her body instinctively does to assist her baby. They are one. They labor in concert. They are born together.

Birth position with the peanut ball. Not all exercise needs to be up and physical.

Do you know about the Flying Cowgirl birthing position? 🤠

This position is an effective technique that moves the p***c bone away from the spine, opens the inlet, and helps baby enter the pelvis.

This dramatic position can be done in bed while lying on one side for three to six contractions before switching to the other side.

Arching the back and stretching the knees away from the abdomen shifts the pelvis forward, allowing baby to rotate and/or drop into the pelvis.

Have you or someone you know tried the Flying Cowgirl? Let us know in the comments!

In Doula care you witness BIG mile stones.
You’re along side the LO & mamma for their BIG accomplishments, you laugh and share stories with mammas & family members it’s all and all a big movement feel.

Thankful for being a doula, as also having doula support available.
At night to sleep I count ducks not sheep.

Always an angle.

When your hands truly can’t do but your mind can.

The thoughts we get up to while sitting still in the depths of our household and our chaotic life’s.

Sometimes all it needs is that someone. To be there for you in times of need to still fill your babies cup as it needs.
You to not miss a heartbeat on other kids little running feet.

Times like these, oh isn’t it nice for a mamma to be set free sometimes in the fields.

Caring while a mamma is able to be there for her child’s first orientation day at school fully deserved.

Beautiful sunny Thursday. ☀️
Have a wonderful day today and remember this time of year you may feel a sense of awakening and some feelings of happiness after the cold dark winter.

This time of year may make your body want to set into overdrive,
spring clean get your perfect bod back so back to the gym you go
for some it may be a feeling of happiness to finally feel and see the sunlight again. Warmer days means a simple walk outside,
a simple opening of your windows to cleanse out all the bad germs that have been cooped up through the winter.
A cleaning of your deck for your new arrival of all your plants.
Sitting rocking a little while he/she sleeps while you start to see the sunlight creep through the blinds 🌱
No matter what it looks like, how BIG or how small it may seem.
I’m happy to see it and that is simply all.

Sun is shining, baby teething, mamma has a head cold
Doula able to serve so that mom’s cup can be completely full once it becomes time to.

Watering where I can is always my aim at the end of the day.

🌟 Welcome to the Fourth Trimester Journey! 🌟
As expectant parents, you’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of your little one. Amid the joy and anticipation, it’s essential to prepare not only for childbirth but also for what comes next—the postpartum period. The fourth trimester, often overlooked, is a time of immense change, adjustment, and bonding. In this post, we’ll explore five actionable steps to create a thoughtful postpartum plan, ensuring a smoother transition into parenthood. Let’s dive in!
🌟 Creating Your Postpartum Plan: 5 Action Steps 🌟
Mind and Home Preparation: As you step into the fourth trimester, mental readiness is just as important as physical preparedness. Consider decluttering your home, setting up a cozy space for bonding with your baby, and discussing your feelings and expectations with your partner or support network.
Newborn Care Strategies: Caring for a newborn can be overwhelming. Start by learning about feeding options (breastfeeding, formula, or a combination), diapering techniques, and soothing methods. Seek advice from experienced parents or attend parenting classes to build confidence
Professional Support Options: Research local postpartum doulas, lactation consultants, and therapists. Having professional support can ease the transition and provide valuable guidance during this vulnerable time
Managing Sleep Deprivation: Sleep will be disrupted, but you can prepare. Create a sleep-friendly environment, take naps when your baby sleeps, and consider sharing nighttime duties with your partner or a trusted helper
Financial Planning for Parenthood: Discuss finances with your partner. Consider budgeting for baby-related expenses, updating insurance policies, and exploring parental leave options. Financial stability contributes to overall well-being during the fourth trimester
👉 Bonus: Share this post with a friend who’s expecting! Tag them or add a comment with one thing you wish you’d known during your own postpartum journey. Let’s support each other! 💕
Remember, every parent’s experience is unique, so adapt these steps to your own situation. Wishing you a smooth and empowered fourth trimester! 🌸
