Things you might miss about your pre-pregnancy self 🤍

Your independence.

Your old routines.

Your energy.

Your body feeling familiar.

Having more spontaneity.

Quiet time to yourself.

The person you were before everything changed.

There can be so much pressure to be completely happy during pregnancy.

You're growing a baby. You should be excited. You should be grateful. You should be enjoying every moment.

But sometimes, alongside the excitement, you might find yourself missing parts of who you were before pregnancy.

Maybe you miss having your independence.

Maybe you miss your old routines, your energy, your favorite clothes, or simply feeling comfortable in your own body.

Maybe you miss being able to make plans without thinking about appointments, symptoms, or how you're feeling that day.

Maybe you miss having time that was completely your own.

And you know what?

That doesn't make you ungrateful.

Pregnancy can bring joy and grief. Excitement and uncertainty. Love and frustration. You can be looking forward to meeting your baby while also missing the version of yourself that existed before them.

Becoming a parent doesn't erase who you were.

You're still allowed to care about your identity, your friendships, your interests, your independence, your body, and the parts of your life that made you you.

There is no requirement to love every part of pregnancy to be a loving parent.

Sometimes you just need someone to say:

“It's okay to miss who you were while you're becoming someone new.” 🤍

And that's something you don't have to navigate alone. A doula can be part of your support system—not just during labor, but as you prepare emotionally for one of the biggest transitions of your life. You deserve support as you make space for both the person you were and the person you're becoming.

If your pregnancy search history looks a little chaotic… you are definitely not alone. 😂

Pregnancy can come with a LOT of questions, and sometimes the smallest change has you reaching for your phone like, “Okay… Google, we need to talk.”

Especially at 2:47 a.m. when you’re wide awake, your baby is moving, your body feels different, and suddenly you need answers immediately.

Pregnancy search history can include:

“Is this normal?”

“Can I eat this?”

“Why is my baby moving so much?”

“Is this a contraction?”

“How do I know if labor is starting?”

“Why am I crying?”

“Is it normal to be nervous about giving birth?”

“Can I ask my provider this without sounding dramatic?”

The answer to that last one is yes. Always yes. 🤍

Google can offer general information, but it can’t know your individual pregnancy or medical history. It also can’t replace your care team or trusted birth support.

If something feels concerning, confusing, or simply doesn’t feel right, you are always allowed to reach out. You do not have to wait until your next appointment or worry about “bothering” anyone.

Your 2:47 a.m. search history may be unpredictable, but you don’t have to navigate pregnancy alone.

What would be at the top of YOUR pregnancy search history? 👀

Pregnancy has a funny way of making people feel like they have a front-row seat to your life. Suddenly, everyone has a question, an opinion, a story, or a piece of advice to share. 😂

Your due date.

Your birth plan.

How you’re feeding your baby.

Where you’re giving birth.

How much weight you’ve gained.

Whether you’re having a boy or a girl.

If you’re “ready” yet.

And somehow… your entire life plan.

Some questions may come from genuine excitement or curiosity, but that doesn't mean you have to answer them.

Your pregnancy is personal. Your birth preferences are personal. Your choices about your baby and your body are personal.

You are allowed to keep some things private.

You are allowed to change your mind.

You are allowed to say, “I’d rather not talk about that.”

You are allowed to set boundaries around advice, opinions, and conversations that don't feel helpful.

And if you do want to share? Share because you want to, not because you feel pressured to explain yourself.

Your pregnancy doesn't make your boundaries disappear. 🤍

You deserve to feel supported, respected, and heard throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Your partner can be an incredible source of support—but they don't have to be your only source of support. 🤍

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can ask a lot from you emotionally, physically, and mentally. Having different people in your corner can make that experience feel a little less overwhelming.

This is where a doula can be such a valuable part of your support system.

A doula can offer continuous emotional and physical support, help you understand your options, provide comfort measures during labor, and help you feel more prepared to advocate for yourself.

And your support system can extend beyond your doula, too. Your family, friends, care providers, and community can all have a place in your village.

You deserve support from people who can show up for you in different ways.

You don't have to expect one person to be everything.
You don't have to carry everything yourself.
And you don't have to wait until you're overwhelmed to build your village. 🌿

A new look, the same heart. 🤎

Las Cruces Doula is stepping into a new chapter with a fresh rebrand that reflects who we are, where we come from, and the community we’re so proud to serve.

While our look may be changing, our mission remains the same: supporting families with compassionate, community-rooted, and inclusive support here in southern New Mexico. 🌿

We are so grateful to everyone who has supported Las Cruces Doula along the way — from the families who have trusted us, to our community partners, fellow birth workers, friends, and everyone who continues to share, recommend, and believe in the work we do. We truly wouldn’t be here without you. 🤍

And a BIG thank you to our good friend Samantha at Oree Virtual for bringing this rebrand to life! Your creativity, thoughtfulness, and talent helped us create a brand that feels so true to Las Cruces Doula and the heart behind this work. We are incredibly grateful for you! 🫶🏽

Here’s to a new chapter, a fresh look, and continuing to show up for the families of Las Cruces and beyond.

Same heart. New look. Still here for you.

POV: You mention you’re pregnant and suddenly everyone has a birth story, an opinion, and a list of things you need to do. 😅

You’ll hear what worked for someone else, what didn’t, what they think you should do, and sometimes even what they think you’re doing “wrong.”

But their experience is theirs. Yours is yours.

You don’t have to follow every piece of advice you receive. You can listen, take what feels helpful, ask questions, and leave the rest behind.

It’s okay to say, “Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind,” without actually taking the advice.

Preparing for birth should be about learning what feels right for you, understanding your options, asking questions, and surrounding yourself with people who support your decisions.

You’re allowed to protect your peace while preparing for one of the biggest experiences of your life. 🤍

A hospital or birth center tour can be about more than just seeing the room where you’ll give birth. It’s a chance to become familiar with the space, ask questions, and know what to expect before you’re in labor.

While you’re there, take a moment to notice the little things:

Where will you park?

Where do you go when you arrive?

Where do you check in?

What do the labor or birth rooms look like?

Where can your support people wait?

What are the visitor policies?

You can also use your tour as an opportunity to ask questions that may not have crossed your mind yet. Knowing where you’re going and what to expect can help the space feel a little less unfamiliar when the time comes.

You don’t have to memorize everything. Just becoming more comfortable with your surroundings can be one small way to feel more prepared for your birth. 🤍
