Women are constantly leaning on each other for advice. Talking to your bestie about birth comes up so often. We always know we can trust our close friends and family to lead us in the right direction. When it comes to birth though, every situation is different. From ma...

I do Postpartum Doula work regularly and often get asked if I’ll be a night nurse for new babies. I love spending the night snuggling up to a Newborn, but the main appeal of a postpartum doula isn’t the extra sleep you can get, or clean laundry folded during a daytime...

​I wanted to labor at home with freedom to move, take a shower, and be comfortable in my own space.  I was also concerned tha...
