Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is an annual day of remembrance for pregnancy loss and infant death, observed on October 15th. If you would like, you can participate in the Wave of Light to honor those lost and those who have lost. Light a candle starting at 7pm your time tonight, and leave it burning for at least one hour for those in the next time zone to continue the Wave of Light around the world.

Many assume that birth and postpartum doula support is all sunshine and flowers, but birthwork includes supporting families in all stages of grieving. If you would like to remember your own little ones, feel free to share their names and their stories here in the comments, and we will help remember them with you. You are not alone.

My postpartum doula can do what?

Run your errands, that's what!

Yes, your postpartum doula can provide routine newborn care, ensure you get rest and care for your postpartum recovery, and offer emotional support as heal and bond. AND we can pick up your groceries, exchange items, grab your prescription, and more, taking tasks off of your plate so you can rest.

Why eat dates in pregnancy? And what can you do if dates make you gag? 🤢
If you're hoping that eating dates will guarantee... anything other than a sweet snack, they will disappoint you. If you're hoping for a shorter birth or avoiding Pitocin, eating dates could help, but it's not a guarantee, and there are other things you can do too!

Is social media making you feel inadequate? Are your caregiver's recommendations making you feel like you don't have any other choice? There's almost always at least one alternative for every recommendation! And just because it's a midwife giving the recommendation doesn't mean it's right for you, and just because it's an OB also doesn't mean it's right for you! Even for decisions as small as whether you should drink red raspberry leaf tea, start prenatal yoga, or eat cooked sushi, there are upsides, downsides, and alternatives that can help you get to your goals. These communication skills are just as important for navigating small decisions and for higher stakes recommendations, such as deciding whether or not to induce labor or have a Cesarean birth.

Our doulas and partnering childbirth educators at Birth Plus help our clients navigate these decisions every day! We're here to simplify your journey into early parenthood with support and education, so if you're in the Lincoln, Nebraska area, check out our team!

Here's the BRAND and BRAIN acronyms:

Deep thoughts in the carpool line. 🤯

If you're stressing about eating dates, drinking red raspberry leaf tea, colostrum collection, curb walking, perineal massage, or any other social media trend, those are things you COULD do, but they're not things that you have to do. Sure, there are some benefits and reasons to do these things but they're not compelling enough that everyone should.

If you enjoy eating dates, great! You may have a shorter labor! If they make you gag, don't force yourself to eat them, and know that walking in early labor can give you similar benefits.🚶‍♀️

Our doula team regularly gets questions like this from our clients! What trend has you feeling like you have to or else you'll have the first ever pregnancy that lasts literally forever?

It takes a team.

Preparing for a new baby isn't something you have to do alone.

1️⃣ Your OB or midwife helps care for your pregnancy and birth.
2️⃣ Your pediatrician cares for your baby's health.
3️⃣ Your doula provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after birth.
4️⃣ Your IBCLC helps you navigate feeding, from prenatal planning to pumping, latch challenges, milk supply, and beyond.

Each member of your care team brings different expertise, and together, they can help you feel more informed, supported, and confident.

Research suggests doula support is associated with positive birth experiences and improved breastfeeding initiation, highlighting the value of having support throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

We're grateful to work alongside wonderful local doulas—including our friends at Birth Plus—to support families in the Lincoln community. 💜
