She knew exactly what to do! This is powerful!

As Doulas, we know what the scramble would look like with no primary care provider in the room. It is safe to assume that she was told not to push, you can hear the nurse in the background say give me a second and I’ll check you. This mama just did what her body was guiding her to do. This part is instinct. This is the fetal ejection reflex (FER) and it is powerful. She was ready, baby was ready, and no extra hands or help was needed. Love this!

Have you seen this happen with your clients?

Thank you for @downtobirthshow for sharing!

As Doulas, we witnessed this all too often. This rough and vigorous stimulation. It was not needed. You can hear this Mom repeatedly saying to stop. You can also hear that the baby is not in a crisis. All these hands interrupting this critical moment, where a birther meets their baby.

The care providers also say that the cord is still intact which means it is functioning as far as oxygenation goes.

The care provider scold this birther for making a clear request for the care of her and her baby. They silenced her and overrode her parenting request in her first moments of parenting this child outside the womb.

This is heartbreaking and infuriating.

Both the mom and her baby just needed a second of connection, quiet, and gentle care. it can be hard as birth workers to witness this over and over again.

We are not believed.

And we know what to do.

Have you seen this happen? Do you know what to do next if this happened to your client? drop in the comments your ideas and suggestions.

Thank you too @sacredbirthdoula for sharing this.

To this mom and baby, we are sorry that the system interrupted your sacred and perfect moment.

As entrepreneurs, Mondays can feel really hard. So

As entrepreneurs, Mondays can feel really hard. Some weeks you wake up excited because you’re on a roll and busy and your business is profitable.

What do you do on the hard Mondays? When you feel like the weekend wasn’t long enough, you have stress in your personal life, your phone isn’t ringing, your business isn’t profitable… These are the Mondays you need to prepare for.

These are the Mondays to go slow.

Hydrate yourself, sit and eat breakfast, use it to plan.

It’s hard not to feel the scarcity in those moments.

These are the scary times of owning your own business.

These are the times that planning matters!

When you are not sure what to do, try, listening to a great podcast in your field or about business or read some nonfiction. This can feel inspiring and can give you ideas and reminders about why we do the work that we do.

Stay off social media as much as possible in those moments. It can feel like everybody is better and you are failing.

Take this time to think about what problems your clients have. What are they needing from you?

Use the stillness.

Use these like the rest and be thankful period before pushing in labour and birth.

Be gentle with yourself.

Gentle.

We need these lulls even though they’re scary, they can feel stressful, and there’s probably a financial pressure. We understand and know it intimately.

You’re doing amazing work, and we can’t always be sprinting.

Planning, planning, planning.

If you try to jump into it, you will not utilize the time in an effective way for your heart or your business.

You are doing great work!

Share this with an entrepreneur who needs this reminder as well.

What is going to happen to more innocent people after the ‘ceasefire’ pause ends? What is it going to take for all the children in that entire area to be safe?

Listen to folks giving birth. Stop rushing them.

Listen to folks giving birth.
Stop rushing them.
Believe their pain.
Let them take as long as they want.
Keep their room in the state they want it.
Close the door.
Stop the cascade.
Their birth is sacred. Every time.

What can you do? Become a doula. Bridge those gaps that systems and providers leave. You literally can save lives doing this work. You will always protect hearts. And we can move the needle to have them feel joy in birth again.

Pass it on!

As you know, we could not agree more! Everyone of our students leave very clear that humanity needs to come back to raising our littles. If you would not treat an adult, a person with a disability, or your aging parent like that, why the heck you gonna treat your baby or little like that?! Parents, it’s not your fault. This has been taught to you. This is enforced by your doctors. We have the job of cycle breaking and unlearning and teaching better. @wombrevolution talks about this so beautifully. It’s not more work, it’s loving, it’s humanity, it’s respectful and it supports well and resilient kids.
