Birth is meant to work when we give it the tools and the time!! 👏🙌

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Research catches up with physiology....

Don't want to push for a long time in labor? Just don't push for a while and use gravity. Then you might end up pushing less than 15 minutes!

Is purple pushing FINALLY on its way out? While many facilities and providers have stepped away from strong and forceful purple pushing, variations of it still exist. This often leaves parents pushing for 1, 2, or even 3 hours - especially in first births and with epidurals.

Despite awareness of the fetal ejection reflex and birth being a normal physiological process, modern obstetrics left many believing we MUST push as soon as we reach full dilation.

Yet this often leaves moms pushing for hours.

Research from Besançon University Hospital, France looked at over 10,000 term singleton births.

Their research concluded: Under a delayed pushing policy of up to 3 hours, active pushing remained less than 15 minutes, supporting high rates of spontaneous vaginal birth and potentially reducing the need for instrumental delivery.

While there are occasional situations where directed pushing might be indicated (baby showing signs if distress, signs of cord compression, etc.), research is showing what midwives, many l&d nurses, and doulas have observed: birth needs patience.

👇🏽 Did you labor down or push as soon as you were fully dilated?

This evening I initiated a breathwork session with so much intentionality.

I took a slow, deep breath in. And even slower out. I learned this with counts, but now I just follow my breath. Slower exhale than inhale.. So good! 🤌

But today's breaths held special meaning. Deep gratitude.
💞A breath for each & every family that has welcomed me into their journey.
💞A breath for every mentor and teacher who has aided my growth and development!
💞And a breath every person who has supported me, past, present, and future!

If you are here, this includes you! Know that I took a breath of gratitude for you today!!🤗

And I welcome you to join me and take a slow, deep, intentional breath of gratitude tonight!

Happy Sunday!!

& Happy World Doula Week!! ☺️🥰🫶
