Got to be part of a birth last night!!!
Beautiful baby!!!
Mama and baby are both doing well.

So true

Exhausting but worth everything

It’s funny cause it’s true 😬

True story 🤷‍♀️

Every now and then I will see a heart shaped placenta. Recently I was able to capture this one. Look at all those beautiful details. ❤️

The breast crawl is so beautiful and incredible!
It amazes me to see how the baby just knows where to go for food.

So incredibly beautiful 💜 the Breast Crawl ✨💫 Imagine if we were all born into such an environment of love, trust, and peace… what a different world we would live in 💜🕊🌟 Repost from @lindseymeehleis • ❤️The Breast Crawl ❤️ No matter how many times you see it… it is still one of the most miraculous things to witness on this planet ❤️🥰 Please know that in a normal physiological birth this is part of a baby’s reflex. Note a couple amazing things: This baby is free to move as intuitively needed. There is no hat, her vernix is fresh on her body. There are towels but only because they had just gotten out of the tub. The cord is still attached. 🪢 each step reflex the baby makes she gently presses on mama’s belly to help her placenta release. Tell me that isn’t part of the perfect design of this. ⭐️ Mom’s ni***es are making colostrum which smells like amniotic fluid. A familiar smell for baby to seek and find. ❤️ There is also a couple other things the help in this process… the darkening of mom’s ni***es, the pheromone smell of moms body odor, maybe even possible the línea negra on mom’s belly. It’s all part of this incredible system. I always encourage parents to be intuitive, you can see how dad reaches out his arm so she didn’t fall. There is no right or wrong way to do this. ❤️ All you need is the patience and trust to allow this to all unfold ❤️ #breastcrawl #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmom #physiologicalbirth #breastmilk #breastisbest #breastfedbaby #undisturbedbirth #homebirth #birthcenter #childbirtheducation #birtheducation #birthvideo #birthvideography #breastfeedingisbeautiful #breastmilk #colostrum #doula #fullspectrumdoula #naturalbirth #ecstaticbirth #gentlebirth #midwifery

Hello!
My name is Serafina and I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula.
I am looking to fill my schedule up for the summer. If you are having a baby and would like a doula just message me and we can talk about what a doula is and how you want me to best support you and your family through this process.

A doula is someone who helps a birthing person through labor and delivery by providing emotional support, physical support and informational support before, during and just after labor.
