✨ LANUGO ✨

Lanugo is the soft, thin, downy hair that is sometimes found on a newborn. It’s often shed in utero around 32-36 weeks, but can be present at birth.

Sweet lil hairy babes 🥹 Was your baby born with lanugo? 💕

🤍 A doula is a trained birth professional who provides evidence-based information & physical support to a birthing person.

🤍 A doula empowers, educates, & supports parents through the entire journey of pregnancy through postpartum.

A less formal definition? Birth bestie. Postpartum pal. Resource guide & listening ear.

~ Looking for techniques & comfort measures to ease pain during labor? I’m your girl.
~ Want to unpack your birth and talk through your experience postpartum? That's my job.
~ Find yourself down a middle-of-the-night google vortex of symptom checking? It’s me you’re looking for!

For millennia, birth has occurred around the world with the support & care of a village. This may include a partner, OB, midwife, doulas, family, and neighbors.

When you're busy taking care of your baby, who is taking care of you?
A doula!

Gone are the davs when the word doula was associated with a certain stereotype. Doulas can be used anywhere, with any type of birth. Waterbirth at home? Heck ya. Hospital birth with epidural?
You know it!

“I had the birth I have been dreaming of, in the comfort of our home, without any interventions, letting my body do what it knew to do to safely deliver our boy earthside. It is something so special and supernatural, giving yourself over to your body, letting it run it’s course, reminding yourself that each contraction is part of the normal process of labour and birth. That birth is normal, and natural.”

Do you know the difference between a and a ?

We love a good venn diagram and this visual does an excellent job at highlighting the instrumental roles midwives and doulas play and how they work together to provide birthing people with the support and care needed during labour and birth.

Did you have a doula and a midwife present at your birth? What was your experience like? Let us know in comments.
