Disclaimer: I am a public health professional and birth doula, not a medical doctor or midwife. Please consult your care provider and use your own judgment when making decisions about your health.
As a birth doula and childbirth educator, it is my goal to educate women so they can make their own informed decisions regarding their care. After all, knowledge is power! Below are the posts that I have written regarding my own pregnancies, births, and experiences with my babies.
You can also follow my doula board on Pinterest for more birth and motherhood-related resources.
