Yesterday my client had a successful VBAC at Brigham& Women’s! We had an exceptional nurse named Denise who upon starting her shift took a lot of time understanding my client’s fears from her first precipitous birth. As a new doula (only my 4th birth), because my client got an epidural early on- I had that feeling of “ I’m not doing anything “, especially since nurse was so experienced. This birth went so differently- and really that was the win for client! In conversation, my client expressed how much help I’ve been overall helping her advocate and get her head around preparing for this birth.🤷‍♀️I had no idea. I’m so happy for this couple- everyone is doing well!

Family and friends. This March I completed training/coursework for becoming a birth doula and ... mind blown! Doula's can make such a differnece in women's experiences of their births. And for someone who sits with women who have postpartum depression and anxiety-I'm moved to support women in this amazing experience. As part of the certification process I need to attand 3 births and "act as if" in other words be the doula. So if you know any women who are interested in a low cost doula please send them my way.

If you identify as a perfectionist, you may not see your perfectionism as a problem. But striving for unrealistic standards, basing your self-worth on meeting those standards, and engaging in persistent self-criticism will ultimately lead to anxiety, stress, worry, burnout, and unhappiness.
