Birthing Like A BOSS with The Doula Babe

05/06/2026

-A due date is just an estimate!

Your baby is NOT late. The system is impatient.

In a typical, uncomplicated delivery, your body is designed to deliver the placenta on its own. This is called the third stage of labor, and for many, it happens naturally with time, patience, and sometimes gentle guidance.

What isn’t routine? Someone immediately reaching inside your body to remove it.

Manual removal of the placenta is a medical procedure. It has a place but that place is when there’s a clear reason. Situations like a retained placenta, heavy bleeding, or other complications can make it necessary, and in those moments, it can be lifesaving.

But outside of those situations, it shouldn’t be treated like a default step.

You deserve:
• To know what’s happening to your body
• To be told why an intervention is being suggested
• To give consent whenever the situation allows
• To have your care handled with patience not urgency that isn’t medically necessary

Birth isn’t something that needs to be rushed at every stage. The placenta doesn’t need to be forced out on a timeline just for convenience.

Advocating for yourself doesn’t mean refusing care it means understanding the difference between what’s necessary and what’s routine.

Because informed consent isn’t optional. 🤍

A doula is not someone you call when labor starts and hope for the best.

We are not a last-minute rescue.
We are not a savior rushing in to “fix” birth.

A doula is someone you build a relationship with months before you ever feel a contraction.

When you hire a doula early, the real work begins long before labor. We walk beside you as you learn, question, process, and prepare. We help you understand your body, your options, and your voice, so by the time birth arrives, you’re not looking to someone else to save you. You already know you can do this.

We don’t just attend a birth.
We help shape the experience you walk into it with.

We:
~Educate you on the physiology of labor so fear doesn’t run the show
~Help you understand common interventions, your choices, and your rights
~Talk through what-ifs so nothing feels shocking or overwhelming
~Help you build a birth plan that’s flexible, realistic, and truly yours
~Teach your partner how to support you with confidence — not panic
~Normalize what labor looks and feels like so you don’t doubt yourself
~Help you practice positions, comfort measures, breathing, and coping tools
~Prepare you mentally and emotionally, not just physically
~Hold space for your fears, questions, and past experiences
~Remind you again and again that your body is not broken

By the time labor begins, we aren’t strangers walking into your birth.

We are a familiar, grounding presence.
We already know your preferences, your triggers, your goals, your strength.

And during labor?
We remind you:
~You are informed
~You are capable
~You are allowed to ask questions
~You are allowed to pause
~You are allowed to change your mind
~You are in control of your birth choices

Hiring a doula early isn’t about having backup.
It’s about walking into birth confident instead of afraid.
Prepared instead of unsure.
Supported instead of alone.

If you want to feel calm, grounded, educated, and powerful when labor begins, don’t wait until the last minute.

This work starts long before labor does.
And it changes everything.

Dear doula,

We see you...

on those late night drives back home when your heart is pounding and you are so filled to the brim with adrenaline due to proxy-oxytocin you feel like you’ll burst.

Dear doula,

We see you...

when your plans are changed last minute again because babies don’t have calendars, and you miss yet another family dinner because you love to selflessly serve pregnant mamas.

Dear doula,

We see you...

as you wake up in the morning completely sore from 18-hours straight of hip squeezes and counter pressure because you would do anything to make her laboring easier.

Dear doula,

We see you...

while you cry in the shower trying to process when trauma and heartbreak happen and you had a front row seat but couldn’t do anything to stop it.

Dear doula,

We see you...

and we applaud you. Your servant’s heart and selfless devotion do not go unnoticed, and as long as we are around we will be giving you the recognition you deserve!

So, thank you.

You are making a difference, and you are seen!
