The business side of being a birtworker can be so draining and exhausting.

I started the week wanting to call it quits, just felt defeated, tired and overwhelmed.

But here we are... 2 new families signed up for postpartum support and 2 for labor support with Sunnyside Up Youth Pregnancy Services.

2 new lactation clients and 1 labor client for CicelyCares and my July breastfeeding class is full (that's 4 months in a row!)

Imma be alright ❤️

Good morning! ☀️

Baby #63 came quick this morning and to think I just met this momma at Target last week. She was adamant she didn't need a doula but I left her with my contact information and sure enough, it got real and she came calling at 11:00 pm.

It had been a while since I did a virtual birth but after 4 hours of breathing and affirmations and movement, baby Tatum is here and healthy and momma is in baby bliss.🎉🎉

These things taste like gr(ass) but give me the boost I need to get through a loopng day.

Today's Agenda:
1 postpartum visit
2 lactation visits
Trader Joe's run
2 Zoom meetings
An in person meeting

Happy Monday ya'll

Another day another baby on the way!

Today I met with a mom and taught her some prenatal childbirth education. She had a lot of questions about how hormones affect labor. I made this fun little graphic to help.

Hey Mama, are you concerned about your milk supply? Here are some helpful tips to help your milk supply.

I had a consultation with a first-time mom today who had some shocking thoughts about breastfeeding. One thing she said was pumping is not breastfeeding so it's pointless to do it if the baby isn't nursing from the breast.

That is far from true. Nursing IS A FORM OF BREASTFEEDING and still gives babies the nutrients they need.

Check out this quick read on pumping and some encouraging words.
