🙌🙌🙌⁣ ⁣ How you labor and birth is your choice. There’s no right or wrong— tune into what you and your babe need, surrender to the unknowns and feel empowered in your ability not to control birth, but rather your response. ⁣ #birthfit #birthfitneportland #connection #birth #prenatalseries #prenatalsupport #pregnancy⁣ #Repost @megthemidwife with @get_repost⁣ ・・・⁣ Choice, it’s a beautiful thing. Do what’s right for you! .⁣ .⁣ Sometimes birth doesn’t let us choose (if there’s a problem) but just remember, even in these instances, we always have the ability to CHOOSE how we roll with the twist and turns of parenthood AND, even if we have a birth that we may not have chosen, we can choose (or demand) to be an active participant in our own birth experiences. More chat like this in the upcoming Babymaking and Beyond. Beta testing now and full program launching early 2019 😀

Say it with me now! A doula is NOT a replacement for anyone, but rather a support for the FAMILY. ⁣ #⁣ #Repost @birthfit with @get_repost⁣ ・・・⁣ Why hire a DOULA? ⁣ #⁣ @dr.josiah is the Regional Director for @BIRTHFITOKC. Her and her husband have one daughter and just welcomed another daughter. They could very well use all the excuses in the book as to why not to hire a doula- know enough, second birth, working with midwives, etc. However, they made the conscious choice to hire a doula. Check out her reasoning・・・⁣ I have an amazing, supportive, involved husband... yet, WE chose to have a doula at both of our births, and will for any births in the future. ⁣ #⁣ A doula isn’t a replacement for anyone, but rather additional emotional and physical support for the FAMILY. ⁣ #⁣ Before I was pregnant with Evie, we knew we wanted @theycallmekate1 to be our doula for our next birth; she was exactly who we needed for this journey.⁣ #⁣ I love this photo. Daniel is putting on Evie’s first diaper, and Kaitlin is in the background sweetly loving and supporting us just as she did throughout my pregnancy, labor, and continues to in this postpartum period.💕⁣ #⁣ #birthfit #birthfitokc ⁣ #lilbabyhackney #babyeviemarie #doulalove #prenatal #labor #birth #postpartum #support #birthfitneportland
💚 @birthfitwisconsin thank your sharing your story. #Repost @4thtribodies with @get_repost ・・・ Erica Boland (31), Terryn (11), Canon (8), Laken (6), and Maclin (2)⠀ ⠀ West Salem, WI⠀ ⠀ Erica shares - ⠀ ⠀ “I experienced a miscarriage shortly before I become pregnant with our third son, Laken. It rocked our world. It wasn't something that had ever even crossed my mind for us and the next weeks, even months were a whirlwind. I wanted to hide and I wanted to blame but mostly I just wanted to know why.⠀ ⠀ There are valleys and peaks; days when I look in the mirror with awe and pure love and days when I feel my body no longer belongs to me. This pull between what I know and what society tells us all to think. It is a continuous journey of going within to listen to what my soul needs in order to step into and embody who I am; fully.⠀ ⠀ My birth and postpartum journey with my first son has brought me to where I am and is the fire lit within me to help empower others. At 19 years old I did exactly what "they" told me to do. I was unconsciously incompetent. After cutting an episiotomy and assuring me she would "add a few more stitches for my boyfriend" with just a few minutes of skin to skin my son was whisked away to the NICU for "precautionary purposes." ⠀ ⠀ In reflection, it felt like I had no choice in any of our care. No one told me what to expect for myself, for my relationship, for our new family. No one told me how to heal my body and nourish my soul or suggested that I become intimately comfortable with myself before doing so with another. The 6 week "all clear" standard was and still is bull shit. We deserve more. We deserve to be educated and empowered to the amazing power of our bodies from a young age and break down barriers of shame. Now, as a mother of four I am beginning to see the isolation that can occur in the double standard of being a career driven, passionate mother. There is much work to be done to break down these barriers.⠀ ⠀ I love the connection that occurs near and far when a group of humans on a similar mission come together to create change. Change is created in the way we connect with the world.”⠀ ⠀____ #birthfit
