✨ Fertility Myths vs. Facts ✨

There are so many misconceptions about fertility, and it can be confusing when trying to understand your body and your chances of conception. Here are a few evidence-based clarifications:

🌸 Breastfeeding & Pregnancy
It is possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding can reduce fertility temporarily (known as the lactational amenorrhea method), but only under very specific conditions and only for up to 6 months postpartum.

🌸 Ovulation & Timing
You are most fertile around ovulation, but s***m can live in the reproductive tract for up to 5 days. This means you can become pregnant at other times in your cycle if in*******se happens before ovulation.

🌸 Periods & Conception
A period is not required to become pregnant. Ovulation comes first, and if you ovulate before your first postpartum period, pregnancy is possible.

🌸 Contraceptives & Fertility
Hormonal contraceptives do not reduce long-term fertility. They work by preventing ovulation or fertilization while in use. Fertility typically returns quickly once you stop.

Your fertility journey is unique, and accurate information helps you make informed choices. 💜

✨ How to Tell If You’re in Active Labor ✨

It’s common to wonder, “Is this the real thing?” Early labor and false labor can feel similar at first, but active labor has some key signs that set it apart:

🌿 Active Labor
• Contractions become longer, stronger & closer together
• Contractions don’t go away with rest or position changes
• You may notice cervical change, water breaking, or bloody show
• Sensations often start in your back and wrap around to your belly
• Pressure increases in your pelvis & lower abdomen
• Shaking, nausea, or vomiting can show up as things intensify

🌙 Early/False Labor
• Contractions may be irregular or short-lived
• They ease up with hydration, rest, or a warm bath
• No consistent cervical change
• More discomfort than intensity

💡 Tip: If you’re unsure, pay attention to patterns. True active labor builds momentum and does not let up.

Having a doula can help you navigate the “is it time?” moments with calm reassurance and evidence-based guidance.

Postpartum mental health isn’t just a mom thing

About 1 in 10 dads experience Prenatal & Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs) — which can include:
• Depression
• Anxiety or panic disorder
• Postpartum OCD (intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors)
• Postpartum PTSD (often after a traumatic birth experience)

This doesn’t mean you’re weak or failing — it means you’re human, adjusting to one of life’s biggest changes.

If you’ve noticed headaches, changes in sleep or appetite, irritability, or pulling away from friends and family, you’re not alone. These are real and valid signs of PMADs.

💡 Support is available:
• Therapy or counseling
• Peer support groups
• Prioritizing rest
• Nourishing food + movement
• When needed, medication

Reaching out is a sign of strength, not shame. Healing happens in connection. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

The Bishop Score is a tool providers use to determine how ready your cervix may be for labor induction. It looks at five factors that help paint a picture of your body’s readiness.

✨ Dilation
✨ Effacement
✨ Cervical consistency
✨ Cervical position
✨ Fetal station

Each category is given a score, which is then added together. A higher score often means that an induction may be more favorable. A lower score does not mean labor is far away, it simply shows that your body may need more time or support to prepare.

Every birthing journey is unique, and this score is just one piece of the puzzle. Your body’s wisdom and your preferences matter too.

✨ You’re in early labor! Now what? ✨

This stage is all about easing in, staying grounded, and conserving your energy. Early labor often means contractions are still mild and spaced apart, giving you time to rest and nurture yourself.

🌿 Try resting or napping
🌿 Take a walk, shower, or bath
🌿 Breathe through waves of sensation
🌿 Snack lightly and sip fluids
🌿 Listen to music or do something comforting
🌿 Even consider a cozy date or gentle distraction

Remember: the goal is to stay relaxed, keep your body nourished, and prepare for the journey ahead. 💜

Sometimes, birth needs a little nudge to get started. Clinical induction methods are designed to encourage labor when it’s safer for baby or birthing parent not to wait.

✨ Common methods include:
▫️ Pitocin/Oxytocin to stimulate contractions
▫️ Cervical Sweep (membrane sweep) to encourage natural hormones
▫️ Foley Balloon to gently dilate the cervix
▫️ Prostaglandins to soften and ripen the cervix
▫️ Amniotomy (breaking the waters) to help contractions become stronger or allow the fetal head to be better applied to the cervix

Induction can be medically necessary, such as for high blood pressure, diabetes, infection, or when pregnancy goes significantly past due dates. It can also be offered electively.

💡 The ARRIVE trial is often cited to support elective induction at 39 weeks, suggesting it may lower cesarean rates in low-risk, first-time parents. However, the study has been widely criticized for its narrow design and limitations, and it doesn’t represent all birthing people or settings.

Each method carries its own benefits and considerations, and choices may be combined depending on how your body responds.

🌿 As doulas, our role is to help you understand your options, ask informed questions, and feel supported in whichever path your birth takes.

The breast is made up of milk-producing glands, ducts, and fatty tissue, supported by blood vessels and lymph nodes. While the ni**le and ar**la are external, so much is happening beneath the surface to support feeding and breast health.

As doulas and lactation support people, we know that knowledge is empowering—understanding your body is the first step to feeling confident in your feeding journey.

The va**na and the v***a are not the same

• The va**na is the muscular canal that connects the uterus to the outside of the body. Commonly referred to as the birth canal, it’s an internal part of the reproductive system.
• The v***a is the correct term for the external genitalia. It includes the:
• Mons p***s (the fatty tissue above the p***c bone)
• L***a majora (outer lips)
• L***a minora (inner lips)
• Cl****al hood and cl****is
• Urethral opening
• Vaginal opening
• Perineum (the area between the va**nal opening and the a**s)

👉 In short: the va**na is inside, while the v***a is outside.

Episiotomy facts and stats!

08/21/2025

The peanut ball is such a helpful tool in labor for comfort, rest, and encouraging baby’s movement. These are five of my go-to positions, and my personal favorite is something called Flying Cowgirl.

Flying Cowgirl is a modified version of Walcher’s. One leg is lifted over the ball while the body leans back slightly, which helps open the top of the pelvis. This creates more space for baby to settle in and rotate when they’re sitting a little high.

I’ve seen this position make a big difference when labor feels like it needs a little boost. If you’ve used a peanut ball before, what position did you love most?
