This is such amazing news!

Morning sickness has always confounded me. I mean, why would nature allow a mechanism that deprives women of nutrition, at the most critical time in our reproductive lives? It never made sense to me from an evolutionary standpoint. Why is it so debilitating for some, while others barely experience it at all? And why do some women have it with some pregnancies, but not others? Well, thanks to science, we now have some answers and a very promising path forward.

I’m very excited that pregnant women will soon have access safe and effective relief from morning sickness and Hyperemesis gravidarum.

FINALLY!

Scientists pinpoint cause of morning sickness in new hope for a cure A protein released by the foetus is thought to be linked to severe morning sickness. The discovery could lead to better treatment of the condition.

Today I celebrate the beginning of another exciting chapter. I am now officially a Postpartum & Infant Care Doula Trainer!

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Salud!

“For far too many women, pregnancy and birth is something that happens to them, rather than something they set out consciously and joyfully to do themselves.”

Stress regulation is very important during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. High levels of stress that continue for a long time may cause health problems, like high blood pressure and heart disease. During pregnancy, stress can increase the chances of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, having a premature labor, difficult labor or a low-birthweight baby.
It is very important to identify and address your sources of stress to ensure a happy, healthy pregnancy.
Knowing that you have the support of a knowledgable and compassionate doula, who is attuned to your needs, can help relieve the stress and anxiety that many parents feel during the perinatal period.

"Is my baby eating enough?

Is the umbilical stump supposed to look like this?

Do other moms and dads feel like they are losing their minds?

Is this normal?

I love answering ALL the new parent questions. As a postpartum doula, and newborn care specialist, I am very familiar with what's normal and what's worth a call to the pediatrician. I also love talking through all the thoughts and emotions that might be running through your brain.

Postpartum doulas provide non-judgmental support and resources.

What was your biggest question in the first days home with your baby?
