Yes. What got the baby in, almost always gets the baby out.

It IS socialism. I disagree with the rest of your statement tho.

It’s gonna be another long 673-day month. Donuts might make it better.

We need speaking AND doing. We need their voices to be heard.

If you think birth work isn’t activism, you either haven’t given birth or you don’t know how many women have died since roe v wade was overturned.

If you aren’t terrified, you’re not paying attention

Birth is not a spectator sport

Birth work is activism.
The end.

Already on it

I love it when I can smell with my ears.

If people think that anti-abortion laws won’t affect their birthing rights, they are sorely mistaken? Like the right to birth at home or decline an elective induction? Better speak up now.

And he TOLD them he hated overtime but they didn’t want to listen

Doulas provide emotional and physical support as well as educational support.

You forgot sexist.

Did someone say birth?

Doula work is not for the faint of heart.

Please can we at least stop calling each other names.
We can discuss our differences with respectful words.
Let’s demonstrate this for our children who are watching.

Labor tip no. 22: did you know that twins can be born vaginally?
Yep. Not all twins need to be delivered via c-section.
There are variables that need to be considered
But twin babies can absolutely be delivered vaginally - and even without an epidural if that is your preference.

I’d love to know if she had a surgery or if she had general anesthesia. There are so many iatrogenic events that can happen during labor that cause life long issues. We can change this

The other thing that we all have to consider when we hear birth stories or postpartum issues is the mode of birth. Surgical birth can cause a slew of issues. About 27% of surgical births in the U.S. are unnecessary. This is what I do. Help people birth in a safe and natural way. The system is flawed

So the meds used to terminate a pregnancy are the exact same meds that are used to manage a hemorrhage from a miscarriage or a hemorrhage that can happen after a baby is born. If these medications are restricted nationally (I would be shocked if this happens), then it could put a life at risk

I can appreciate this position. After I gave birth, my stomach was literally like bread dough. And my mom said, but look what you got in return? :) and I looked at my little person and was so thankful. I guess it comes down to what do you want.

Follow me on instagram and you can see fun info on birth :)
