A Doula is not a Luxury it’s Fundamental
I understand money problems. It does exist and people think that having a doula is only for those who have this luxurious understanding! I did a vendor event and what I was hearing was I have an OB or a Midwife. Well… I am different than those people. I am supportive. Explaining that for 6 hours straight, 2 days in a row was harsh on my vocal cords, to say the least. It was a wonderful experience though. Now maybe some people really don’t think they need a doula if they have an OB or midwife. But the support is something people don’t have much of. But if they do, they can always use more.Now some doulas are more expensive and that is okay. But this doula understands your struggles. I try to keep my prices lower that families can actually use this support. Why would you spend money on a doula? You save yourself time and energy and so much extra support that sometimes family can’t provide. Unbiased support is what we provide. If you want an epidural that is great, if you want to circumcise that is your choice and we support you. If you want a home birth, GO FOR IT! Now with Covid-19, we aren’t allowed in the hospitals, so I see many people believe that they don’t need a doula anymore because you don’t get the same hands-on support. But that’s not the case.Our support can come in many shapes and forms and as I see the times rolling that doulas are doing their best to stay active and ready and at attention to their clients, and clients are turning them away. The support stays the same but in a different way. We can still face time the whole birth and have the presence of its entirety. I may not be able to give my hands the way I wish, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t get the same words from my mouth, the instructions for the partner. We aren’t a luxury! We are fundamental! Support is support regardless of physical, informational, or emotional. We are there for you. play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women
All About Postpartum Doulas
I took my training to be a fertility, birth and postpartum doula. It was one of the best choices I made since; I really love anything about the female body. Including babies. (but who doesn’t?) What is a postpartum doula you may ask? Well as everyone probably knows by now when you come here a doula is a person who provides emotional, informational and physical support. Now as a postpartum doula that support can come in so many different shades. – I’m not talking about 50 shades of gray either! You can get help with some food (I cook you know), you can also get support with newborn care (want a break from changing diapers?), breastfeeding support, and any and all emotionalsupport. Now let’s talk about emotional support; I really love to talk but I love to listen and hear the struggles, the good and the bad. I want to be there for you, the shoulder to lean on. Just know I am there to talk to at all times. My phone is open to you even if you need a quick text. I also can give a hand with light housework (I am good at laundry: folding and washing, and I can put away too) In the end the support is endless, it also really depends on two things: what you need, and what our relationship is. Now if I come at different times things could look like this…If I come at the breaking of dawn, I can prepare coffee or tea, your breakfast. I can help with your breastfeeding or give the baby a bottle. While you shower, I keep an eye on the baby (or older kids). If I am your doula at noon, I can help make you a beautiful lunch, tidy up the house while baby and you nap, do laundry, and dishes and just be that extra ear for a little chat. I can be your doula if you are a work-from-home momma. I can come while you do some work I help with the baby, laundry, dishes, tidying and making sure you have a meal ready for you. Wherever you are in your journey of having a baby let me support you in the best ways possible. I think being a postpartum doula is one of many great perks of being a doula. play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women
What Does Natural Birth Mean?
What does Natural Birth mean to you? Here are some scenarios and explain to me which one equals a natural birth to you. You can comment below or on social media. This is really an exercise to see the standard on women and to what they hold even for themselves regarding natural birth and what it means. Scenario One: The birth is at home, with midwives, essential oils are diffusing the other children are around and there is a planned waterbirth. No drugs and labour started on its own. The birth goes as planned and there is no medical interventions or drugs. Scenario Two: The birth is at the house. Labour needed to be started with a few stretch and sweeps, there was breaking of the waters. No drugs were implemented, and the birth went without any forceps etc. Scenario Three: The Birth is at the hospital. Labour was induced and there was use of an epidural. It was eased as the pushing stage happened but was able to have a vaginal birth. Scenario Four: The Birth is at the hospital. Labour was helped with a stretch and sweep, there was a use of the epidural. Baby’s heart rate lowered and there was need for a c-section. play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women
Doula’s Love on a Plate
I have lots of love. There are lots of love languages. (I will talk about those in another blog) But one of the ways I love to share with you my love is by feeding you. It helps because I am a nutritional Doula and I also have my training from the Government of Canada for working out while cooking. My Food Handler’s course. Forgot the name there for a minute. About to Google and then it comes to me. So much is in my head and I want these blogs RAW for you to know what I am really about. How do I do that? Well as a birth doula, one of my packages offers a Meal Prep day. Having done this with a few clients the system is getting more worked out and it turns out amazing for the families. I have heard only good things about how having freezer meals has saved them with a newborn in the house. I just finished doing one, those are some of the images in the picture. Always a home run is a lasagna! Who doesn’t like lasagna? (never mind I remember a client ) As a postpartum doula, I support you by providing you with a meal depending on the shift. You have the food and I will cook you something. I am starting to learn (the more postpartum doula-ing I do that I need to bring recipes and gloves for the oven.) But I always make a meal or something for you to eat. If I come early you might be getting breakfast, which regarding what’s in your kitchen might be homemade pancakes from scratch to scrambled eggs and toast, or who knowsoatmeal. If it’s lunch what is suiting the taste buds for a good lunch, what about a nice BLT-like sandwich? Or maybe some lasagna? Regardless of when I come, I am helping feed you and nourish the body. play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women
What is SPD?
Symphysis pubis dysfunction is also easier to say SPD. (But don’t let it be confused with Sensory Processing Disorder totally two separate things.) What is SPD? SPD happens when the ligaments that keep your pelvic bone more aligned during pregnancy becomes too relaxed and stretchy. Normally too soon before birth. This can make the symphysis pubis unstable. It can cause in return; pelvic pain. SPD is common in about 1 in 300 pregnancies. Some doctors think more women are having SPD but it isn’t bad enough for them to get it checked out. Some of the ways these things can be helped is trying some of the following. Try some of these things and see if it helps! There is so much information out there and if you have a doula while having SPD she may recommend some things I didn’t mention here. play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women
Guest Speaker on Body Positivity
I am so excited to later on introduce our guest speaker. Body positivity is so important especially while pregnant as I have mentioned before there is so much going on when you are expecting and if you add extra stress about how you look into the mix it can really make things difficult.Body Positivity comes in all shapes and sizes. I have heard a few people say its only for those who feel bad about themselves when they are plus-size. But that isn’t the case. You can be any type of woman or man and be worried about how you look.Do you have a type of style? Personally, I dress vintage or Classy. I only wear skirts and that is something that I will want to move over during my pregnancy years. (Maybe in a few years from now). I have heard from people who want to find their weight or are insecure about how they look. Speaking from experience everyone feels insecure about how they look. This might be heightened during this special time of your life. I asked our guest some questions and she was willing to provide some amazing photos and insight. I would like to welcome and thank Megan Thomann, sometimes called Dex for sharing some fun information for my readers. Originally, Northwest Washington State. Nowadays, I am an Iowan. I am a professional mom and occasional freelance makeup artist. I asked her what first interested her in vintage dress since I discovered her in one of my vintage groups I am a part of. I’ve always had a fascination with old things and unique items with a history. Fashion has been a big interest and form of self expression for me virtually all my life. Collecting and dressing in vintage just became a natural hobby for me. It’s not an everyday thing for me, but more of an overall feel and style preference. I then had the pleasure to ask how she felt about dressing vintage while expecting. Do you worry what others think? I seldom worry about what people think of the way I dress. I guess when I love an outfit and the way it makes me feel I get a confidence boost. I’ve always believed that you have to really “own” your look when you wear it and not let it wear you. When I’m expecting (as I’m currentlypregnant with my 4th child) it’s always a challenge to adjust my wardrobe. When you’re pregnant, you become aware that the changes in your body are often visible to those around you. That can be intimidating, but there’s been a huge social shift in how pregnant women are viewed. Where women used to hide behind tent-like clothing or keep confined to their homes if in a “family way” we now have plenty of fashionable options that show off and celebrate a growing baby bump. I guess that makes it a little ironic to dress in a vintage style that highlights a pregnant figure, but anachronism is fun, right? Having fun with how I dress, no matter what state my body is in isjust part of feeling like myself. Do you have any tips that you recommend to expecting mothers on body image? When you focus on the amazing things your body is doing, versus just what it looks like, it can be easier to accept the changes. Caring for yourself and treating yourself with kindness is especially important during this time too. Make sure to do things that make you feel like your regular self whenever possible: exercise, dancing, going out to dinner, making love(!) are all great opportunities to enjoy being IN your body and in the moment. Be kind to yourself. If you think negatively and critically about your body, think about how you would speak to a friend. You deserve that same kindness and acceptance. When people throw around the statement that “your body will never be the same” it’s usually put in a negative context. The truth is, it won’t. Pregnancy is like going through another puberty- every time. But your body can change in positive ways and your comfort with yourself can grow out of it. I was never very curvy and having children made me feel more feminine and soft. I’m definitely still critical of myself sometimes, but when I realize that given birth to and nursed 3 amazing children already, I can maybe cut myself a little slack. Don’t ever sit on the sidelines and miss out on making memories with your children because you’re worried about how you look in shorts/a bathing suit, etc. Your kids love you the way you are because you’re MOM. I also asked about dressing tips. Because we can be discouraged if things don’t fit or anything like that. So, I asked her what are the biggest tips for expecting mothers and how they dress. Try to select maternity clothing that reflects your personal style and if that’s not possible, focus on accessories or makeup that makes you feel good. Just because you are a mother doesn’t mean you have to give up the things that make you feel like YOU. Buying supportive, attractive underthings can help a lot! Investing in good quality bras and supportive hosiery can literally make your clothing fit and flatter better and can give you a little oomph when backs and ankles start acting up. I’m a big second-hand shopper and I highly recommend hitting some thrift stores, taking a peek on ThredUp or searching Facebook Marketplace for bargains. A lot of what I wear during pregnancy is thrifted from the regular sizing section. Maternity often gets mixed in with the rest and standard-sized garments in a generous cut or stretchy fabrics work beautifully for pregnancy and postpartum. Thrift shopping has been essential to me in building a nursing wardrobe too, as I look for surplice tops, wrap dresses, stretchy cowl necks and the like. Nursing style may be a whole other discussion for another
BMI Bull💩
Let’s talk about the BMI Bulls**t! As of this date, my BMI states I am 52.9 when it’s over 30 or higher you are considered obese. Most doctors like to use Morbidly obese just to scare you a little bit more. @bodybravecanada made a wonderful chart on Instagram called BMI Bulls**t. They explain in this image that it’s a tool that was created for healthcare professionals to equate weight with your health. But they claim that weight isn’t the only thing they should be lookingat. Look at the medical history of the patient, cardiovascular health, access to healthcare, blood pressure and mental health. This generation is BIG on equality between males and females and that we should all be treated fairly and equally amongst each other regardless of the differences. Why is this not something that is happening to us Plus size people? It’s unfair and unjust! Equality should be considered regardless of body type, religion, race, culture, gender and so many other things I can’t list them all. I have heard that some people will then be excluded from having a home birth, waterbirth or even midwifery care. I am unaware of that protocol here in Ontario, Canada but I do plan on doing more research into the subject matter. This is such an upsetting situation since I am plus size as well and I know what I want from any future births. To hear this just drives me mad and thought it important to share it with others. We fight for equality, but this is something that should be fought more for us plus-size women. play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women
Breastfeeding Benefits Mom + Baby
Everyone who knows me, knows I state the three things I LOVE about the birthworld. Birth, Placentas, and Breastfeeding. I am very fascinated by it. I think it all comes down to the part of what the body can do. Think about it like this. The female body was created and you are able to create life with the help ofman and are able to give birth. Deliver another human body that might leadon to do the same thing within the next 30 years from that moment. Then youhave placentas and that is something your body has created all to supportthat new life. It’s a new organ. It’s entirely made for 9 months and thenyou deliver that organ. And if you get pregnant again your body makes aNEW one. But then you have breastfeeding, growing up I knew what the human body was for but not as powerful as the vast knowledge I know now about the breast. I could talk for hours about breastfeeding. But what are the benefits for mom? But that is just limited to mom. Can you imagine that your body has the power to help you? Besides the money and time thing. But what about baby? How can this help your baby? I would look into more information from KellyMom for breastfeeding. I am learning a lot through my training from H.E.R.B.A.L It has been a whirlwind of how much information is out there. Have you thought of breastfeeding? play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women

Body Positivity + Pregnancy
Now everyone knows (because it’s not a trade secret) I have loved the birth world since I learned all about it at the time of my puberty. I have always had a bit more weight than “recommended” now for the longest time I believed that if you were overweight you weren’t going to be able to get pregnant (I was quite young remember this when reading this.) I was worried that I would never get to bear a child like other celebrities who were of “average” weight. This made me worried for what would come in my future and if all my dreams would be shattered of being a mother. I have been bullied for my weight and have always been insecure about how I look. For a long time (until the past year) I would only wear a size up and the baggier the better. With pregnancy your body changes and if you are anything like me ^ … I was/am insecure so how would it work with pregnancy. You have more weight, you do get bigger. How can you stay positive if the world (social media, or people in the streets) is saying cruel things? “Damn, you giving birth to teenagers?”“Wow, bout to have a litter”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“Respect your body. Have one child at first then another. Eat healthy so you have a nice healthy body”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“Is that a food baby?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“Body positivity is unhealthy”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“100 babies inside her? OMG”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“You’re disgusting”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“Infertility was God’s way of saying you shouldn’t have any children! Gross!” I will link below the article/FB post where this woman explained the comments on her maternity photoshoot. Its disappointing how the world believes these comments might be helpful to a person. Because logically you have 100 babies? Besides the point your body you should be proud of. Its hard because you hear and know what the outside world is thinking. But YOU aren’t the only one in those shoes, you aren’t the only one having a hard time struggling with what these maternity clothes will look like on, you aren’t the only one contemplating getting a maternity photoshoot done or not. How can you maybe feel better? Join some like-minded FB groups or other groups. Meet up and get to know other mothers in your hindsight. Always have a supportive shoulder to lean on. Join Womb Buddies (FB) in March 2020 we are doing a whole meeting/talk on body positivity.Reference: https://www.facebook.com/BabyCenter/photos/a.141884611297/10157103000886298/?type=3&theater play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women play youtube play youtube Brazzer xnxx xvideos porn hentai tiktok download 2002 World Series free Hentai I Need A Loan Todayminecraft Chunk Borders phim xxx Tracksuit Set Women
