Catching up on my reading list…

Right now I’m reading “The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth” by Henci Goer and it does not disappoint!

As a doula it can be difficult not to let my own biases get in the way and I have to check myself sometimes. There are times when the evidence speaks for itself and I have to speak up. And sometimes that means informing people of things they don’t want to hear. It’s easy to be blissfully ignorant until you’re faced with something you weren’t prepared for.

Doulas are often told that their job is not to advocate but that is BS if you ask me. Standing by and witnessing obstetric violence is quite the opposite of what our job entails.

Walking away when a pregnant woman is being transferred to the hospital from a home birth, also quite the opposite of a doula’s job. That’s when we should step up to the occasion and offer the education and information we promised.

When I was pregnant I read “What To Expect When You’re Expecting” and quite frankly I believe it was completely useless. But “The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth” is a game changer!

For all my expectant parents out there I would recommend you add this to your reading list and go into your birth informed!

You're the expert of your body, be the expert of your birth!

Don’t you wish you knew more? Don’t you wish your children knew more?

I know that after I had my son, after the intensity wore off a bit and I was able to reflect, I realized how little I knew about what was going on in my body during his birth. And sadly that is a very common experience for most women.

How much more could we love and appreciate our bodies if we actually understood them?

Girls Who Know is an organization committed to educating girls and young women about their bodies and the physiology of birth! They are taught how to love and respect their bodies. They are prepared with the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about their bodies so that they can have the courage and autonomy to have a healthy birth outcome in the future.

I believe all girls AND BOYS should be given access to this education in health classes across the country. This is the first step in teaching your children about how amazing and miraculous the female body truly is!

𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨! You are on an amazing journey that is not just going to change you physically! It will change you emotionally, mentally, 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘳𝘦. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It happens so fast! Before you know it you'll be in your third trimester wondering where the time went. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You haven't read all the books! You haven't completed the nursery! You haven't taken the childbirth education course you were so gung-ho about three months ago!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Pregnancy is when the real work begins. It's important to really take the time to focus on your innate capabilities. Your body knows what to do and there are things you can do to prepare your brain as well!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
📓𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 - This is a truly magical thing to practice if you don't already. Keep a pregnancy journal so that you can release any fears and anxieties you might have around labor, or becoming a parent, or that weird craving you had for chocolate milk and anchovies the other night!​​​​​​​​
🌈𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 - This can be incorporated into journaling or mediation and is a great way to start and end the day. Take a moment to write down or take a mental note of three things you are grateful for. It changes your paradigm quite a bit!​​​​​​​​
🧘🏻‍♀️𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 - Learning to use mindful breath while your pregnant is going to help you so much during labor. It is a way to actively stay focused on one thing while you ride those waves in labor. ​​​​​​​​
🪷𝗬𝗼𝗴𝗮 - Physical movement, mediation, and self mastery are all involved in the practice of yoga. Finding time to strengthen your body and your mind through a regular yoga practice will provide a solid tool for you to utilize during labor.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These can all be things you do throughout the week, not all at once. Break it up into 15 minute increments throughout the day and you will notice a shift. ​​​​​​​​
