So is it worth it to become a doula?

I lost my mucus plug in 15 weeks 😢 And its end with miscarriage

💚🩷🤍

Thanks for sharing your story and how this diet has helped you. I’m newly pregnant with my second and I’m trying this diet again. I didn’t stick with it last time and now I’m wondering if malnutrition was the cause of some of my complications. Trying to do better this pregnancy. God bless❤

I went into premature labor at 34w6d last week. I'd been feeling low-ish, with some cramping and tons of Braxton Hicks since 26 weeks, but my doctor's office never seemed coxncerned. I was still working as a cashier on my feet, and over the next 8 weeks, I just felt really low, with TONS of pelvic pressure. Then, last week, I did a house cleaning on my side job, but I didn't really overwork myself or anything anx it was totally random, but I had a little "bloody show." I started contracfing right away, so we rushed to the hospital. A bunch of tests were run, and I was put on hospifal bedrest for 2.5 days. I got 2 shots of steroids and magnesium sulfate to slow labor, then the contractions stopped, so they sent me home on modified bedrest. I was scared and felt alone in everything because I was so unsure and knew all the risks, so I tried to avoid Google, too! Unfortunately, I only got 1.5 more days, then when I got up to pee at 1:45am, I felt a gurgling, a pop and a gush. We went to the hospital at 3am, and was 5cm dilated. Called for the epidural, was checked again, and was at 10cm, so no epidural for me! I was terrified, and it hurt a lot, but I DID IT! I had an unmedicsted birth - something I never I'd be able to do! The doc and my doula arrived at 4:45am, and after 4 pushes, my son was born at 5:10am, on his daddy's birthday! He was born at 35w2d but has done so well! No NICU needed, and we came home last night! Welcome to the world, son! ❤

Imma new subscriber and i wonted to say congratulations on having your handsome babyboy💙💙💙🥰💙🥰💙🥰💙🥰💙🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This was so helpful thank you so much ❤

Thanks so much for this valuable information! I’m looking to start a training this summer, so glad you condensed everything for me!

I always love hearing your thoughts and the way you process life. So spiritual and deeply connected to yourself, listening to what feels right and what doesn’t. I’m so glad you’re getting back into what you love and opening a new door 🩷

Try soft three colour eyeshadow. With emphasis in creases

I loved your thoughts on this diet. Woman. Woman birth not people. It’s a gift only woman can have. Be grateful and thankful ❤

Wow!! Thank you for sharing your experience! Our bodies are miraculous!!💕

You did amazing job

This is how I know I’m meant for a home birth. The peace, calmness, confidence and love you guys radiate is incredible. Every time I watch a birth like this I’m just overcome with a wash of excitement and peace. Birth by gods design - not in a bright sterile room surrounded by five strangers with hands in your hoo-ha 😅

Love finding other Christian birth workers ❤ I’ve enjoyed following you for your doula content, and love seeing you transition into learning midwifery

I have found my calling How do i get started, and what books do i read? I have 2 years until my youngest starts school, so i would have 2 years to finish my classes

That’s why the baby grows inside your belly the baby struggles outside that’s why your pregnant

So interesting to listen. I’ve also been feeling the call to birth work, but I don’t know what that looks like. Trying to follow my heart but it’s difficult to do

Thank you so much ❤

😮 i wish i was so chill abt pregnancy test as u .like I’m really fighting the urge of testing at 9dpo 😂 and i know nothing will show cuz its so early

I’m not sure how this popped up on my feed, but it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen💗I was never able to have children so I do have that emptiness, but I was blessed to have two beautiful stepchildren that I love unconditionally and they love me unconditionally. I was talking to my husband about if we were ever able to have children together (which will 100% never happen💔), but if I were able I would definitely want a home birth and watching your husband right there with you knowing my husband would be doing the exact same. Thank You So Much For Sharing Your Experience❤️Congratulations Mama and Daddy❣️

Hi there! I know this is about 3 years old. I am in NJ and wondering where to get in person training. Im having a hard time finding that information. Are you still supporting mommies doula?

I pulled these All up.. to start comparing :)

Thank you so much for sharing your heart ❤❤

This was super helpful! Do you have videos on the process to become an official/certified doula?

Very informative . As an upcoming Doula I appreciate all the help I can get.

Hold up. You had a cold ? That is actually another symptom since our immunity is lower in the first days of pregnancy!

Can you work for multiple agencies at the same time? Mose importantly, is it wise?

So what avenues will you be exploring? :)

Thank you for the heads up on them drying your milk supply. My doctor recommended use it but no guidance on it drying up my supply. We are 6 months in and I don’t want that.

Were you still leaking during that two weeks before she came out?

Im 39 today and just lose it n now im nervous. No 4 baby

I am currently in the process of getting certified as a post partum doula . I have a few modules left and I am excited. I then am going to get my certificate to work with teen mothers.

Thank you for this! Do you need to become a member to "a life of peace* or can someone just sign up to the certification program in Texas without being a member? Is there a difference? Thanks so much! And what was the pro & con to your experience?

100% I’m going through that now in my single parent life.

That’s very important because if you know you gotta know yourself if you know you’re not someone who can I speak up and defend your client to make sure the client gifts for 30 did a hospital to do list is not for you. It’s you know you have to be prepared for that, and to know that learned that in the figure that out and to move out the way, that’s a great thing.

Great tips ! New doula here

Have you heard of Madriella doula training? If so, what are your thoughts? I'm an OB nurse and have cared for moms in the hospital for the past 25 years and want to become a PP Doula now but don't want to spend a lot of money!

Where did you get your doula certification? I am an OB nurse and wanting to become certified as a PP doula. Any recommendations?

Hi ❤ question.. when you speak about staying active on social media regarding your doula work, are you meaning by creating a separate facebook page for your doula work? Or on your personal social media account?

congratulations :)

Hello I have heard some insurance companies pay for doula services. As a doula how do we accept insurance payment?

This was so helpful🙌🏻

Starting my 9 wks doula program soon in September and I’m so excited to be able to see birth and labor from a different perspective that is away from being a student nurse. I am so nervous that mother’s won’t trust me bc I am so young and doesn’t have kids of my own.

What is the paste made of for baby's bottom? Would you share the recipe? This is such helpful information. I will refer you to all my clients.

I’m finding myself in a similar situation! Trained as a doula this year but struggling to put myself out there to clients because I’m just not aligned with the overmedicalized births everyone is having around me. I learned about a radical midwifery school starting this year from the creator of the free birth society podcast, and I’m likely going to look into doing that, though your point about not finding apprenticeships is very true too. Good luck in your birth work journey!

Thank you for sharing this! I agree that with doula work, it's best for you and the client if you serve in a space that feels true to you. One of the reasons I want to do both hospital and home births is because I want to be there for families that choose to do a hospital birth. I had gestational diabetes and ended up developing preeclampsia, so I was too scared to do a home birth. I want to pass what I know along to families who choose to or who have to do hospital births. In my area, there are very few doulas that offer support or share information that prepares families for hospital birth. Unfortunately, it's usually fear-based information being shared (which I don't blame them) when discussing hospital births. So I want to be a voice for how things can go right in a hospital setting if you mentally prepare for all scenarios. It's all about reclaiming the situation and feeling empowered in any way you can.
