Elective induction around a holiday is for convenience, but not yours.

With Thanksgiving & Christmas coming up, loads of unnecessary inductions and c-sections are about to happen.

Every year there is a HUGE decrease in births on (and around)...

🔆 Christmas
🔆 New Year’s Eve/Day
🔆 Easter (changes yearly - first Sunday after the full moon in April)
🔆 Memorial Day (changes yearly - last Monday in May in the US)
🔆 Independence Day (4th of July in the US)
🔆 Thanksgiving (changes yearly - last Thursday in November)

And it’s not just the United States - it's everywhere.

How could it be that all of these holidays have lower birth rates year after year?

It’s not a coincidence - it’s about convenience.

And not YOUR convenience. The convenience of providers.

No one wants to work on holidays, and hospital birth providers have a way to make sure (for the most part) that they don’t have to.

Inductions & c-sections are rarely scheduled ON holidays, but they ARE frequently scheduled in the days leading up to, or just after, a holiday.

If you are due around a holiday, and your provider suggests an induction or c-section, it’s a good idea to question why (remember that you always have the right to decline). If there is NOT a legitimate medical reason, they may be more concerned with being home in time for a holiday dinner than your well being.

Although fire departments and police stations do offer proper car installations as some of them do have CPSTs (Child Passenger Safety Technicians), some do not and some who do not have them may help anyways. Do NOT let just anyone install the car seat! Make sure they have certified car seat techs whether it’s someone who works there that happens to have certification or someone in your area that is certified. Anyone can be certified! Click the link below and just type in your city and state to see local CPST’s in your area! You may see some that work for the fire or police department or just someone who happens to be certified.

This directory is provided as a way for parents and caregivers to contact technicians for information and assistance. We ask that you refrain from using the information on this site for your own business purposes.

Baby holding devices such as baby carriers, swings, bouncers and jumpers are a great way to keep baby occupied while you can do a quick chore or answer an important phone call! However, long extended use can have consequences! But that doesn’t mean to stop completely. Moderation is the key in this case! ❤️

As I am working towards certification, I will have to have three family evaluations. Because these will be going towards my schooling, I would be more than happy to do this service in the evaluations for FREE! One spot has been taken already, but there are two left! I will be available July 1st or later for this service! Once certified, I will officially start my services consistently. If you are wondering what a postpartum doula does, check my last post! Or if you have further question, feel free to contact me! Ready to support local postpartum families! ❤️
‼️🚨UPDATE: SPOTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN, BUT I WILL REPOST IF A SPOT OPENS UP! THANK YOU!💕💕
