I needed this reminder often during the early days of my son’s life... and well... I guess I still do. It’s easy to trick ourselves into believing that someone else might actually know better, but the countless AMAZING mamas I’ve worked with in different capacities (and my own role as mother) have shown me that the mother’s intuition is STRONG. Even when we don’t know it’s on, it’s on. And it’s guiding us to be the exact type of unique mama our baby needs. And that’s going to look different for each family. Sending so much love to all my fellow women struggling with their confidence in parenthood, and needing to know that they got this. Because you totally do.

I was recently teaching a childbirth prep class where a mom expressed frustration that all the women in the birth videos she watched were almost completely silent. She said she felt like making noise during her first birth experience, and wondered if there was something wrong with that - if the noise was holding her back from having a peaceful birth. My answer...⁣ ⁣ Absolutely not. Every woman processes birth differently and some have an innate desire to make noise. The key is keeping the sounds in a low register. Think guttural moans. These lowww moans can help to stimulate the natural expulsive reflex and support you in controlling your breath. What you want to stay away from is high-pitched screams, as they can rob your energy, induce panic, and often shorten your breaths. So if you feel those noises coming on, keep em' low and slow :)⁣ ⁣ What type of birther were you? A moaner? Totally silent? Channeling a wild animal? (That was me BTW - I sounded like a wolf/bear yawning really loud.)⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #birthing #birthingtips #birthcompanion #childbirth #childbirtheducation #childbirthpreparation #childbirthclasses #childbirtheducator #childbirtheducators #childbirthprep #childbirtheducationclass #childbirthsupport #childbirthed #laboranddelivery #pregnancy #pregnancytips #pregnancyjourney #pregnant #pregnantlife

Shout out to all my fellow doulas 🙌 Each time I attend a birth and reach that point of total exhaustion I close my eyes and tap into the INCREDIBLE, invigorating energy you all possess. It works every time - I feel renewed and ready to keep pressing my fist into mamas lower back, reminding her that she can and will do this, and holding so much space for her to have the exact experience she’s meant to have. If you’re toying around with hiring a doula, I highly recommend it, regardless of the type of birth you’re hoping to have. Connecting with the right one (I suggest interviewing at least a few) can completely transform your birth experience. Sending love to all you doulas, and all you ladies doing the amazing work of growing a new human ❤️ (I found this beautiful graphic through the amazing @sylviamalaga.doula ) #birthdoula #doulalife #doulasupport #birthdoula #doulalove #doulas #doulaservices #birthing #birthcompanion #childbirth #childbirthsupport
