It's more than a business to me, as your doula; it's a revolutionary, world changing action with expectations in reproductive justice, honoring choices of the person birthing, and expanding the use of holistic practices. I’ve had some previous experiences in my career & my own personal “Journey 2 Baby” has inspired me to share the knowledge, BE The Change & to service other women before & after childbirth!)​​​​​​​​

Y'all is one of my favorites.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Gender neutral, fun to say and depending, on tone and inflection, can be a question, a critique or a command...as well as a basic plural prounoun.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
That being said...all y'all need a doula. All y'all should come to BEST Doula Training. All y'all have a great weekend! Did you see the Virginia legislation concerning doulas....Y'ALL!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do y'all use y'all? It's a legit business question for A Hump Day?. 😎​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

An example of fear based maternal healthcare is the entire concept of triage for labor and delivery. When you show up to the hospital in labor, you are sent to a place called triage. Most of the time partners and doulas are not permitted to go with you “because it’s a small space”. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Language is important so let’s look at the definition of triage: “the assignment of degrees of urgency to wounds or illnesses to decide the order of treatment of a large number of patients or casualties.”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
🤫 Pregnancy and birth are not illnesses. If you agree, it’s ok to seek care outside of the traditional OBGYN/Hospital system-you have options! There’s homebirth, birth centers, and there are hospital midwifery practices who will often meet you in triage to ensure that you’re given respectful care-​​​​​​​​
Triage is just one of many examples of the way that fear dominates medicalized birth. Ask yourself if that’s a system you want to step into or one you want to tear down!

Tuck & Pull is how queens get their push on! 👑⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
Day 4 of Peanut Balls, Baby! week all about these simple, yet powerful birth toys! New positions in the feed, more discussion in stories!⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
The Tuck & Pull position (created by yours truly!) is a fly way to push - pull the rebozo, rest those legs, the side lying position allows for pelvic bone mobility. ⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
Tip: Baby can be born like this if it's working for you - check out that space between hips and ball. there's room 🤑⁠​​​​​​​​
May be paired with your best crown, birthing clothes of your choice, or sans it all ...⁠​​​​​​​​
Because your baby is coming out!⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
Have you tried this position? How’d it go? 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
💕 YOU GOT THIS QUEEN!)

Shaming is when someone says, "If you're not in labor by x date, we'll have to do something about that."⁠​​​​​​​​
"If you're unchanged by x time, you'll need this..."⁠​​​​​​​​
"If you're still pregnant next week, let's strip your membranes."⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
WHOA! STOP! 🛑 Your cervix did nothing wrong! ⁠​​​​​​​​
You. Are. Pregnant. ⁠​​​​​​​​
This ish is WORKING!⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
No shame in having a smart cervix. There IS shame in putting it on a timeline. Ya know what can scare labor away? ⁠​​​​​​​​
FEAR! ⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
Like fear of a f-ing consequence if your cervix isn't satisfactory 😲 ✌⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
If I could tell my baby that it was time to be born, because it's April, ⁠​​​​​​​​
I like to know things, and ⁠​​​​​​​​
cankles, then I would...but I can't. ⁠​​​​​​​​
And neither can you! ⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
Instead, try some stretches to help relax, soften, and lengthen the tissues in your legs and pelvis so baby can get ready to be born. DM me for my fav move if you need inspiration.⁠​​​​​​​​
⁠​​​​​​​​
❤️️ Your cervix is doing a very fantastic job by the way. That Bitch is always holding up life - what a queen.⁠​​​​​​​​
