Pitocin is Oxytocin???!!! 🤔

Wow! I seriously did not know that fact and it's shocking 😱

Yes!

Question: who do you think is really in charge of your birth?

Answer: YOU ARE

Unfortunately, society doesn’t view it that way and many of us feel like we have to do what we are told by doctors and health care professionals.

Let’s start changing that. Let’s take back control!

Expectant service members lack support. Doulas could help. Members of the military who are pregnant lack options when it comes to giving birth. That might be changing, but challenges persist.

"We took this picture when I was pregnant with Luna. With up to 500ml of extra blood running through your body when pregnant it’s incredible to see all the vessels that are connecting you and your baby All the necessary nutrition, oxygen, and life support from the mother’s blood goes through the placenta and to the baby through blood vessels in the umbilical cord.⁠
Waste products and carbon dioxide from the baby are sent back through the umbilical cord blood vessels and placenta to the mother's circulation to be eliminated… 📸

Just like our Sabaka, who was right there when Freya was born! ❤️

Alway write your best en birth plan. This is bring you clarity and will inform your birth team in f your wishes.

Mama, you are AMAZING! 💚🏆💚

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My sweet friend Michelle Kissinger will be welcoming her triplets any day now. They will be transitioning to a family of 9, and I would love to donate 15% of each placenta package to their family.

If you are not interested in encapsulating your placenta, I can make beautiful prints & cord keepsakes for you instead.

You can donate through cashapp if you would like, but please put it in the description if you choose to do so.
