Here is a little behind-the-scenes look at what the passenger seat looks like when Ciara heads out for a birth, client visit day, or networking day.

A cooler full of high-protein food, lots of water with electrolytes, extra clothes, laptop bag, client binders, and a purse that somehow always ends up overflowing with all of the last minute things... Not pictured is coffee and a matcha (maybe even 2), because caffeine and Jesus are what get us through the long days! You also cannot see the doula bags in the back of the car.

Doula work may look calm and steady when in the birth space, but getting out the door can look a little more like this... Chaos! Haha.
Even if not planning to go to a birth, Ciara always tries to leave the house prepared to get called. In fact, she is pretty sure babies have a rule that they can only be born on client visit days, hence the 2 coolers pictured. One for the day that is planned, one for a "just in case".

Prepared, packed, and ready to show up well for the families we have the honor of serving, at any given moment.

There is something so incredibly special about walking alongside a family from pregnancy through birth and becoming a trusted part of their support team.

This sweet family shared:

“Ciara was absolutely incredible, so knowledgeable and supportive and surpassed any expectations we had about working with a doula. She eased so much of my anxieties that came with pregnancy and delivery. She was wonderful at communication and by the time delivery came around our family felt like she was a close friend there to support us through one of the biggest events of our life.”

Birth doula support is about so much more than what happens in the birth space. It is having someone to answer questions, help ease fears, pray with you, prepare alongside you, and show up with steady support when the day finally comes.

We are so blessed by the families who trust Kingdom Beginnings to walk with them through such a sacred season of life.

One of the most common questions we hear is: “When should I call my doula?”

Want to know the short answer? Earlier than you think.

You do not have to wait until contractions are intense or until you are sure you are in active labor. Your doula is there to support you through the process, not just once things become hard.

Reach out when contractions begin, your water breaks, something feels different to you, you are unsure what is happening, you need help talking through what to do next, or you simply need reassurance or prayer.

Sometimes support looks like talking through what you are feeling over the phone. Sometimes it is helping you decide whether to rest, eat, hydrate, move, take a bath, or begin preparing ready to leave. Sometimes it means deciding together that it is time for in-person support.

You are never bothering us by checking in. You literally hire us to offer phone support prior to in person labor support!

We would much rather hear from you early and help you navigate what is happening than have you feel like you need to figure it all out on your own.

Your doula is a part of your selected support team before, during, and after the moment labor becomes intense.

There are honestly SO many things we could do during pregnancy....

The supplements. The exercises. The appointments. The classes. The books. The birth prep. The stretches. The teas. The dates. The meal prep. The nursery. The hospital bag. The list can get long really quickly.... Truthfully, the list goes on and on in different ways we can prepare.

The fact of the matter is, there are some really wonderful tools available that can make a meaningful difference for both mom and baby. Preparing for birth matters greatly. Learning about your options matters. Caring for your body matters.

BUT... you do not have to check every box!! Especially if you find yourself overwhelmed.

I will say it again.... YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHECK EVERY BOX!!

You definitely do not have to do something simply because every other pregnant mom on your feed or even in your village seems to be doing it.

Your needs may look different. Your pregnancy may look different. Your capacity may look different from one week to the next.

Choose the things that truly serve you and your baby. Learn. Ask questions. If you are anything like me, make a list of priorities. Prepare where you can. And please... give yourself grace with the rest.

Good preparation does not have to mean doing everything! Doing a couple of things really well and thoroughly often goes much further than doing all of the things a little bit.

You've got this!

Some seasons feel full of momentum while others ask us to move slowly.

There can be so much pressure to keep up, keep producing, keep showing up, and keep carrying everything well. But God does not ask us to prove our worth through constant productivity.

Sometimes faith can simply be trusting Him in the quiet, letting ourselves rest, and believing that He is still working even when life feels slower than we expected, or when we aren't seeing the outcomes or timelines we expected to.

“Be still, and know that I am God.”
-Psalm 46:10

If this season feels heavier or slower than usual, you are not behind. There is grace here too, friend!

Hey all!! You may have noticed that we have been a little quieter on here lately.

Behind Kingdom Beginnings is a team of real women with families, responsibilities, joys, and hard seasons of our own. For me personally, the past several weeks have included walking with my grandma through hospice, her passing, and her funeral. It has been a very tender season, and I needed to give myself some space to step back in some areas, including our posting.

While social media has been quieter, the heart behind Kingdom Beginnings has not changed at all!!

We are ready to begin finding our rhythm again here on social media and continue using this space to educate, encourage, share resources and opportunities, highlight the work of our team, and support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Thank you for being here with us through both the busy seasons and the quiet ones, and thank you for understanding that we too are human. We are incredibly blessed for the work the Lord is doing using Kingdom Beginnings!
