It’s really hard but completely normal for your baby to wake frequently (like, every hour) for their first several weeks of life.

If it’s important to you to exclusively breastfeed, accept that waking up to nurse very often… is part of the gig.

When you find something that helps soothe or settle your babe, celebrate it… because it probably won’t work for too long.

Contacts naps are where it’s at. You’ll miss them one day.

Wearing your baby can be super helpful. But don’t fall for the lie that you’re going to get the whole house cleaned while you’re doing it. If you can go to the bathroom or get a good meal in, that’s a win.

Stop comparing yourself to the “my baby settled to sleep & slept through the night by three weeks” people. Good for them, really, but that isn’t the norm, and it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong.

You will, indeed, have to change the way you think about sleep and how it impacts your day. You will be tired, your partner will be tired. Give each other grace.

Finally, hold on to hope: you’ll survive. 😘

You will learn to live on less sleep. You will find new habits that energize you. You will survive this season… even if it lasts for longer than you think it should.

And when you find other parents out there living full lives on just a couple hours a night, be friends.

And drop an energy drink on their doorstep every now and then. 🫶🏻

Those first days, weeks, months (and years)… they aren’t supposed to feel easy.

And mine still don’t! 😆

But things do change, they get simpler in some ways… and trickier in others.

But you’ve got this. One day, one moment, one breath at a time. 🤍

No one needs a doula. But you deserve one.

And believing that from early on in your pregnancy will change your entire experience. 🤍

Two different moms, two different birth plans… similar outcomes, neither of which was expected.

Doulas don’t provide guarantees, and most of us don’t even care what you decide. We just want you to feel as informed & present as possible from belly to birth (and beyond). ✨


If you’re prepping for birth, make sure there will be someone in the room reminding you that healthy baby, healthy mom and how you feel are all important. 🤍

And don’t miss kissing my kids goodbye, wishing my husband good luck with bedtime, chugging some electrolytes + a protein bar and jamming out to my fav song. 🤍

Honoring National VBAC Day is about so much more than a birth outcome.

It’s about learning to listen to your inner voice.

It’s about finally understanding that you’re in charge of your birth experience.

It’s about connection and community, solidarity and not feeling alone anymore.

It’s about trusting your intuition.

It’s about letting go of control and having the confidence to step forward.

It’s about leaning in, making one good decision at a time.

It’s about letting the whole refining experience change the way you mother and cheer for other mothers.

No matter the outcome. 🤍


To the moms who have gotten their VBACs and the ones who haven’t (I’m one of both), choosing a VBAC takes a certain kind of courage. And, if you let it, the journey will change the trajectory of your life.

No matter the outcome. You chose it, you’ve walked it… Happy National VBAC Day. 💙

It was only just a guess anyway. ✨

But really, take it from someone who had four babes born healthy & safe well past their “due dates,” I get it.

Late pregnancy is tough physically, but things really get weird mentally & emotionally once you hit that 40-week mark.

Hang in there, your body knows what to do if you give it the space & time. One of the biggest influencers of when labor starts and how it progresses is your ability to surrender to the process.

Call me if you need a reminder. 😘

Walk. Every day.

Eating dates > drinking red raspberry tea.

Hire a doula who feels like a soft & sturdy place to land.

Not everyone will get why you’re choosing this. Some will try, some won’t. Learn who you want to share details with and who you don’t.

Even with a supportive provider, you might feel like every prenatal appointment puts you on defense.

Process your last birth & move whole-heartedly into a new experience.

Find a place to ask questions, listen to stories and walk away feeling encouraged (you’ll love Lily Wyn & Paige Lloyd | VBAC Educators | Podcasters | Doulas if you haven’t plugged in there yet).

Learn about every choice you’ll have and build a plan based on what feels right to you.

Stay home as long as possible.

Make one informed decision at a time. You don’t owe anyone a commitment.

Trust your intuition and then… lean into labor. ✨

Lastly, you’ve got this. And I’ll be waiting to hear every single detail. 🤍

You should learn about birth.

You should make informed choices.

You should choose what’s best for you.

You should share your preferences with your team.

You should get so freaking hyped about your vision.

And…

It will be in your favor to accept that things likely won’t go exactly to plan.

But because you are educated and you’ve built the team, you can remain confident that when things get weird, you’ll make one right choice at a time.

And that’s how you find yourself on the other side of birth feeling like you’re a super hero.

Because you are. ✨🤍😘
