Big sister was helping her mama through each contraction. She got in the water and helped catch her baby brother and even cut the umbilical cord (of which she could pronounce every syllable!)
Photo above is one happy mama...She pushed her baby out after having a cesarean birth with her firstborn son!
So beautiful! I'm an aspiring doula and prenatal fitness specialist here in Phoenix.I recently found out about Baby Moon Inn. I noticed you said the mom in these pictures had had a previous c-section...I have had 2 due to breech and hope to have a VBAC next time around. Do you do VBAC births at the Inn?
The benefits of having a doula are many. The following study shows that the presence of a doula positively impacts your birth experience.
Look closely at these amazing results!
50% reduction in cesarean rate
25% shorter labor
60% reduction in epidural requests
40% reduction in Pitocin use
30% reduction in analgesia use
40% reduction in forceps delivery
(These statistics appear in Mothering the Mother: How a Doula Can Help You Have a Shorter, Easier, and Healthier Birth by Klaus, Kennell, and Klaus (1993)
My goal as a doula is to help you have the best birth possible regardless of the circumstances!
This summer, I will celebrate being married to my wonderful husband, Craig, for 31 years! We have four grown children who I loved being a mom to and now I have the amazing privilege of being a Grammie! We have a grandson, Sylas who is 6 and granddaughter Ava who is 4 and they bring us TREMENDOUS joy!
I am also a Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator and Lactation Educator! The miracle of birth is SO amazing to me and is a constant reminder of our Creator God.
