Charlotte Scott - My Massage Doula

Did you know that you can start your prenatal care with our highly qualified Certified Nurse Midwives?

Many expectant parents, especially those who are pregnant for the first time, might not know much about receiving care at a birth center. We hear from some of our clients that they thought they had to initiate prenatal care with an obstetrics practice first and then get “approved” to deliver at a birth center. Thankfully, that is not true!⁠

However, it is important to note that all ABC clients must be low-risk. For more information about our low-risk criteria and how to start prenatal care, visit https://www.atlantabirthcenter.org/new-clients.

What a wonderful offering for the Atlanta birthing community.

Where would we be without you??????? Thank you from all of us💖🌏💖🌏💖🌏

“Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.”

-Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

I simple things can make a big difference

Pelvis Reset for Lower Back Pain Irritating lower back pain can be caused by something as simple as bending down to pick something up the wrong way, sitting or standing too much, or sleeping in an awkward position - all of which can color your day with discomfort and pain. However, if you don't add a specific lower back program into your routine to address it, the pain will continue to be triggered and worsened by everyday movements.

When I speak to my clients about the psoas I get a lot of “wow! That makes sense!” This is where the information that I share comes from. Liz Koch has been demystifying the psoas for decades. It’s told in the pregnant body is essential to understand. Here is her current class on lunges and stretching the psoas.

Demystifying the Psoas: Develop Core Awareness, Stability, and a Stronger Yoga Practice Within our bodies is a bio-intelligent tissue called the psoas. This tissue, which directly links the spine to the legs, is defined within the bio-mechanical paradigm as a core-stabilizing muscle. Yet the psoas is also an organ of perception—juicy, delicate, tender, and responsive. In this four-we...

Supporting black mothers.

🤱🏽🤱🏾🤱🏿
Black Breastfeeding Week was created because for over 40 years there has been gaping inequities in breastfeeding rates. The CDC data shows that 75% of white women have ever breastfed versus 58.9% of black women.

Black mothers disproportionately experience a number of barriers to breastfeeding, including lack of knowledge about breastfeeding; lack of peer, family, and social support; insufficient education and support from health care settings; and concerns about navigating breastfeeding and employment. Increasing interpersonal support for breastfeeding might help increase breastfeeding initiation and duration among black women, who might lack breastfeeding role models in their social networks and be more likely to face negative perceptions of breastfeeding among their peers and communities.

In the United States, the rate of implementation of evidence-based maternity care practices supportive of breastfeeding is lower among maternity care facilities in neighborhoods with larger black populations. Hospitals’ use of such practices, which include helping women initiate breastfeeding within the first hour of birth and not providing breastfeeding infants with infant formula without a medical indication, increases rates of breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity. A recent analysis indicated that making improvements in these practices among maternity care facilities in four southern states reduced black-white disparities in breastfeeding initiation.

Breastfeeding has numerous health benefits for infants and mothers. Breastfed infants have reduced risk for ear, respiratory, and gastrointestinal infections and might be less likely to develop asthma, obesity, and diabetes. Mothers who breastfeed have a lower risk for developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and breast and ovarian cancers. U.S. breastfeeding surveillance has consistently demonstrated that rates of breastfeeding initiation, duration, and exclusivity are 10–20 percentage points lower among black infants, compared with white infants. (CDC 2019)

Separating mothers with COVID-19 from their newborns does more harm than good In several countries pregnant women confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19 are being required to have cesarean sections or be separated from their newborn babies to restrict COVID-19 transmission.
