This is my unpopular opinion and it’s not just because I’m a doula.

Why do I think it shouldn’t just be you and your partner in the birth room? When you are in labour your partner is usually trying to do their best to support you through it. Most of the time I see partners freeze up and don’t know what to do anymore because they have never saw you in this type of state. They can start to get really panicked. It’s good to have someone there to reassure them or take over support when needed.

On top of this nervous state your support partner could go into from seeing you in your birthing state, in a medical setting they can sometimes freeze when it comes to medical professionals throwing scary words at them. This is to no fault of their own it often times can be a room with a lot of emotions happening at once, it’s also been studied that dads specifically tend to look back on their experience and feel they couldn’t speak up for their partner out of fear of talking against authority figures that medical staff can sometimes feel like.

Also sometimes partners just need a break like anyone, some labours are long and they try their best to support where they can but sometimes they do need to go for a snooze or a coffee and some quiet to reset their thoughts and get back into supporting you with their A-Game.

Whether you hire a doula or have another person you 100% trust to support your needs & respect your choices. I highly recommend having more people in your corner while you go through this life changing journey together.

To every mom out there mothering outside the norm in the world that constantly tells you there’s only one right way I see you and I respect you.

I think informed choices matter deeply ! I always say information is power educating yourself, and knowing your options to make an educated decision can be so powerful.

At the end of the day, I have not lived your life. I have not walked through your experiences your childhood, your nervous system, your relationships, your births, your losses, you’re healing your capacity, your support system or your season of motherhood.

So whether you choose to co-sleep or not - breast-feed or formula feed - homeschool or public school - sleep train or don’t - parent gently or more traditionally - work full-time or stay home - at home or in a hospital - follow the childhood schedule or not

You made those choices from a place of love, intention, education, and doing what feels right for YOUR family I can respect that

The way you are “supposed” to mother has become very loud on social media, family dynamic and social dynamics in general and it can often times feel like you are being deeply judged, misunderstood and isolated in your choices.

I see this all the time in my line of work for some reason having children can create very weird shifts in relationships and I just want you to know that I am here and I see you

After that contraction is over I usually get a mind blown look 🤯 I have also been told “ I think I love you now “

We practice these in our prenatals and when we get the real deal when labour is happening it’s the sweetest pain management tool we have in our tool belt.

During labor, the baby’s head presses on the pelvis, sacrum (tailbone area), ligaments, and nerves. This can create intense lower back and hip pain especially in “back labor.”

When a support person presses inward on both hips at the same time. That firm counter-pressure can:
• reduce strain on the sacroiliac joints and pelvic ligaments,
• slightly widen or reposition the pelvis,
• decrease pressure on the sacrum,
and help the baby rotate or descend more comfortably.

There’s also a nervous-system effect
• Strong pressure signals from the hip squeeze can partially “override” pain signals going to the brain. This is related to the “gate control” theory of pain.

When I’m hired on as your Doula, I try really hard to create an environment where we almost become like besties. I want you to be able to chat with me about anything and everything whether that is preparing for your birth, preparing for your postpartum supporting you through both of those or literally talking about the drama that is going on in your life I’m here for it to hype you up make you feel better and get through whatever you get through.

Because you’re not just hiring on a Doula when you hire me, you’re hiring on someone as part of your community who genuinely cares about your day-to-day life. Who wants to know how that fight with your mom went or your best friend. Who wants to know that you’ve had a hard day at work. Who wants you to call them when you’re having a hard time with your pregnancy or in your postpartum period.

There is soooo much more I could say and put into detail. But this is what I’ve come up with there may be a part two with this at some point.

If you’re looking for fact check go check out induction studies from the mayo clinic , evidence based birth & national institute of health.
