I could not have said this better!

I often hear first time mamas say:
“Maybe with my next baby I will”:
-Have a homebirth
-Look for a birthcenter
-Look for a better provider
-Hire a doula
-Have a birth plan
-Take a breastfeeding class

And other things that are not looking very comfortable or doable at the moment.
I was that mom once, so this is coming from a place of love and desire to help, not to judge.

I encourage you to get out of the comfort zone!
If your OBGYN is treating you like just another number 🚩
If you want a natural birth but have an OBGYN with a c-section rate higher than the Empire State 🚩

Look for the doctor is going to listen to you, look for the help and support your deserve! Look for the information is going to make you feel safe!

Your fist birth will mark the way of the next ones, so this is the one that you probably have to prepare the most.

Get out of your comfort zone!

Love,
Ana

I absolutely loved getting to do this watercolor placenta painting for a very special mama!

Every time I do a painting I decide it’s my new favorite! 😂

By: This Blew Up My Mind
“When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.⁠

For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too.

Even if a pregnancy doesn't go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream.

Research has shown that if a mother's heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart.
The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby.

How cool is that?
This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant.

It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back - so that the baby can develop safely and survive.

Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave?

Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?”

If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them.

I find this to be so very beautiful.

Copied!

I don’t know if I even have the words to write my goodbyes. I’ve lived here my whole life, and really, I’ve always loved Odessa. This place has made me who I am today. I’ve grown up here, built the beginnings of my career here, started my midwifery training here, and so much more.

To all of my dearest friends and clients, I will miss you so much more than I can even put into words. Thank you for helping shape me into the doula, Lactation counselor, and future midwife that I am. Being on your team during some of the most vulnerable and beautiful moments of your life has been one of my greatest honors. You are so loved!

I am relocating to Wylie, Texas. I will continue my midwifery training in the DFW area & continue to do lactation counseling, Hormone, fertility, and birth control education, and placenta encapsulation. So if you know anyone in the north Dallas area in need of these services, please send them my way!

I will be referring everyone here in WTX to . Ana is a friend of mine and such an incredible doula & Lactation counselor. I am confident that you will be in GREAT hands with her!

Hey there!
Labor is not easy, but it can be beautiful… you know, like the kind of pain you put yourself through if you are an athlete. You love to go get that workout even if you know it will hurt, you love to push your body and your mind to the limit, even if you know it will hurt.
This uncomfortable feeling has the biggest purpose of your life, not only figuratively, but LITERALLY. The pain of your contractions are releasing hormones to help your baby’s lungs and make breathing easier when they are born.

So don’t be scared of the sensations, call it “pressure” call it “wave” call it “intensity” instead of pain. (Wow, that came out nice 😂)

It doesn’t matter, it’s a beautiful thing that we were gifted with.

The fitness coach in my always shows up when I’m supporting a mom in labor, phrases like:

“It’s ok to be uncomfortable”
“You are stronger than this wave”
“Come on, mama! Show yourself what you are made out of”
(Thanks OTF)

Sometimes an epidural will get you to the finish line, sometimes all you need is to believe you can!

Love,
Ana

Watercolor placenta prints 🎨

Isn’t this one BEAUTIFUL?! I got to surprise this Mama with the colors. 😍

If you want a placenta print you can add it onto an encapsulation package, or you can just do the placenta painting!

The best part? I don’t have to have your physical placenta to do the painting! You can send me a photo & I will do my very best to paint it as accurately as possible. But if I do have your physical placenta, I can “stamp” it on the paper to get an exact painting.

I’m excited to offer this! Painting is one of my favorite ways to unwind & relax.
