Doulas and midwives both provide incredible support during pregnancy and birth — but their roles are different💗

A midwife provides medical care and monitors the health and safety of parent + baby.

A doula provides emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

The best part? They often work beautifully together as part of your support team ✨

Different roles. Same goal: helping families feel informed, supported, and cared for.

You’ve got this, we’ve got you!

Peace doesn’t mean birth is perfect or easy — it means giving yourself permission to breathe, soften, and trust your body through each moment. 🌿

Whether your birth feels calm, intense, fast, or slow, you deserve support that helps you feel grounded and cared for along the way.

You’ve got this, we’ve got you🫶🏻

New research published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology continues to highlight the impact of doula care on maternal and infant outcomes. 🤍

According to the study:
✨ For every 100 patients who received doula support, there were 15–34 additional VBACs compared to those without doula care.
✨ 5–6 more families per 100 attended postpartum follow-up visits.
✨ Babies whose families had doula support were more likely to be exclusively breastfed.
✨ Doula-supported births showed reduced rates of preterm birth.

Support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum isn’t just comforting — it can make a measurable difference.
At the heart of doula care is advocacy, education, emotional support, and helping families feel informed, confident, and seen every step of the way. 💕

You’ve got this, we’ve got you🫶🏻

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there💗💐

To the ones holding everything together, loving deeply, showing up every single day, and giving so much of yourselves — we see you. From the big moments to the invisible ones, the comfort, patience, strength, and care you pour into your families does not go unnoticed.

Motherhood is beautiful, exhausting, emotional, transformative, and filled with so much love all at once.

Today, we also want to hold space for those who may find this day difficult. For those longing to become mothers, grieving a loss, navigating complicated relationships, healing, or carrying emotions that feel heavy today — we are thinking of you too.

Sending love to all today✨

1 in 5 moms experience maternal mental health challenges.

Yet so many suffer in silence💔

On Maternal Mental Health Day, we’re breaking that silence.
You deserve support, rest, and to be cared for just as much as your baby.

You don’t have to push through alone. We’re here. 💗

Not all baby products are created equal… and some truly earn their spot 🤍

We asked our doulas to share the items they actually recommend to families- and these are the ones they come back to again and again.

You don’t need everything, just the right things!

“My family and I had a fantastic experience with The Crib! Liz, our Doula, was absolutely incredible with our new baby and made our first few weeks at home with a toddler and newborn so much more manageable. She was professional, helpful, and flexible with what we needed. We highly recommend these services to anyone considering their support!” - C Family

Thank you C family for trusting us, we are so glad Liz was able to help make the transition from 1 to 2 smoother💗

No one really talks about this part…

The latching struggles
The second-guessing
The “am I doing this right?” moments

Breastfeeding can be beautiful—but it’s also something both you and your baby learn together🤱🏼

You don’t have to figure it out alone.
