❤️Tag your fellow doula bestie! Share some love today!❤️

At the heart of every doula is a powerful, instinctive drive to nurture and support. It’s not something we learn in a book or from a course (though those tools help us refine our skills and are important) it’s something we are born to do.

You do it everyday already. All over the place… sometimes we do miss providing that care for ourselves.

When we walk into a birthing space or sit beside a new parent, we are tapping into an age-old tradition of care that transcends boundaries and generations.

This calling to nurture doesn’t just end with physical support… it’s about emotional, mental, and sometimes spiritual guidance. We see our clients’ needs, their unspoken fears, their joys, and we stand with them through it all. It’s powerful and magical!

One more time, you have to make sure you’re well and cared for, beautiful helpers and healers… As Audre Lorde said, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

And we have a war to fight!

For many doulas, nurturing is a radical act in itself. It’s about standing up for families who need us the most. It’s about protecting the emotional and physical well-being of birthing people. It’s about ensuring they are heard, valued, and empowered in one of the most transformative moments of their lives.

To all the natural nurturers out there, you are a force of nature. Your love, care, and support change lives every single day. Let’s continue to uplift each other and the families we serve, one nurturing moment at a time.

Let’s talk about Amniotic Fluid… annnnnd check out this amazing photo by 📸

Did you know that amniotic fluid plays a critical role in protecting and nurturing a fetus throughout pregnancy?

Check out some cool-ass info about this powerful protector:

By 34 weeks - there’s around 800 ml of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby, cushioning every little kick and roll! This also protects the baby if the pregnant person has an accident or fall.

Did ya know? Amniotic fluid is not just water! There’s about 98% water and 2% electrolytes, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats… all of these are essential to baby’s growth and development.

Baby’s kidneys get to work early! By 20 weeks most of the amniotic fluid is made up of baby’s urine as they practice swallowing and digestion in the womb.

Amniotic fluid reaches its peak volume at around 34-36 weeks, then gradually decreases as the body prepares for labor.

Let’s not forget, this incredible fluid not only protects but supports healthy lung development, movement, and even temperature regulation for the baby.

And when it releases, sometimes there’s a serious splash!

Did you know that doulas have been present in birthing rooms for millennia? Whelp, it’s true!

Ancient cultures, such as in Greece, had “women’s attendants” who provided physical and emotional support during childbirth - sound familiar, doulas??

Across centuries and continents, birth attendants have stood by the side of laboring people, offering not just practical support, but also the emotional and spiritual guidance needed for safe passage through birth. Uh ya we do!

Historical records from ancient Egypt show midwives and birth assistants, aka OG doulas, offering skilled hands and care during birth.

In modern times, research shows that having a doula can significantly improve birthing outcomes.

Let’s look at some numbers… According to a 2017 Cochrane review, continuous support during labor from a doula can:

1️⃣ Reduce the likelihood of needing a C-section by 25%.
2️⃣ Shorten labor by approximately 41 minutes on average.
3️⃣ Increase the likelihood of a positive birth experience and birther satisfaction.

Additionally, studies have found that families who have doula support are more likely to establish breastfeeding/chestfeeding successfully and report higher overall emotional well-being postpartum.

From ancient roots to contemporary care, the work of doulas continues to be essential!

We can see that past and present, doulas deliver the best care for birthing families.

The maternal mortality crisis is alarming and urgent.

Healthcare providers are so reluctant to give up practice-based care… even though it’s clearly not working!

In the U.S., Black women are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.

Shockingly, over 60% of maternal deaths are preventable. Read that again.

Here in Canada, the situation is even more dire for Indigenous women, who face a maternal mortality rate nearly double that of white women.

Globally, more than 800 women die every single day from preventable complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

This is a public health emergency, and we need to demand change.

Every parent deserves the chance to survive birth and raise their children in health and safety.

Doulas, midwives, and healthcare providers are part of the solution, but we need systemic change to save lives.

If you want to be a part of the solution, comment DOULA and we will send over some awesome free info 💌

Sliding into the week like…

It’s my birthday tomorrow and I’m real excited.

One of my birthday wishes is to give people with a uterus their rights back.

I’ll wait to find out if I got that tomorrow… 🎁

In the meantime, we have some really fun stuff happening on our channels for my big day this week. We also have a promo BDAY17 to get 17% off everything (including our business tools!).

I also want to add that hobbies and team activities have saved my sanity and prevented burnout and I can’t express how important they are when you’re doing helping and healing work!

You don’t have to pick roller derby, but find something that has nothing to do with birth and babies.

I have roller derby (since 2008), step dance class, Spanish lessons, and now competitive powerlifting 🏋🏽‍♀️

Shout outs to for all this goodness! 👆🏽👇🏽

This Gynae Cancer Awareness Month we want to encourage women and people with gynae organs to check their v***a once a month for any changes and symptoms of cancer.

Everyone’s v***a is unique- the shape, size, texture and scent, which is why it’s important to know what’s normal for you. This way, any changes-no matter how small-are easier to spot, potentially catching cancer early when it’s more treatable.

But what is normal and what’s not?

Vulvas come in all shapes and sizes and that is totally normal.

What isn’t normal and needs to get checked by a doctor are changes to your v***a that aren’t normal for you, and the following changes could be a symptom of v***al cancer:

🛑 A persistent itch
🛑 Pain or soreness
🛑 Thickened, raised, red, lighter or darker patches on the v***al skin
🛑A new mole or a mole that is changing shape or colour
🛑 An open sore or growth
🛑 A lump or swelling
🛑 A rash

Here are our top tips for self-checking:

-Wash your hands
-Sit comfortably, with a mirror, in a well-lit room or use a torch
-Place the mirror between your legs
-Start on the outside and look and feel for any pain, soreness, lumps, rashes or changes to your skin.
-Open the l***a, look and feel for any pain, soreness, lumps, rashes or changes to your skin.
-Check around the opening to your va**na and your perineum

If you spot any new changes or you are worried about anything you have noticed, it is always best to get in touch with your GP so anything serious can be ruled out. There are other non-cancerous conditions that can cause some of these symptoms, it is important these are also diagnosed early so they can be treated.

If you’re worried about any changes to your v***a, or other gynae health symptoms, the Ask Eve nurses are here to give free and confidential info.

When that doubt and dark creep in…

This is when we lean on our community. We build one another up.

As carers and activists I think we should show this more. When we’re put in a leadership position, there’s a reluctance to get support from the very community we are also members of. This is a real push/pull feeling.

Here is my experiment… I will reach out sooner in future when I feel that heavy doubt. Let’s see what happens.

For now, my energy is up and I’m excited for what this back to school time holds.

When you’re in these heavier times, put as much down as you can - it will only be a day or two or three. Go into ‘sleep’ mode like our phones when the battery is low.

Dimmer lights, less apps running…

We have some great business tools that will help you for those periods to have stuff happening automatically. Comment HELP to see.

And get some care. And let them care for you while you cry or yell or sleep. ❤️

Leave some words of affirmation here for someone that needs them 😘

And we need community!

Community is key for doulas to do what we do.

We need it at home, so we can rest and recover after a birth.

We need it with other doulas as we process client care that we may be looping on.

We need it with other providers to share about our intimate care to try eir clients.

Yes, word of mouth marketing is going to be the biggest reason for your business growth. For $10 we will give you the method we used to grow a 6 figure doula business in less than a year. Comment BUILD to get it! 💌

Together we can also inform policies and push back against harmful practice based care!

Our battle cry 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Care providers worry we will take over.

They’re frustrated when our clients look at us when an intervention is announced.

Doctors worry about us being a barrier to their preference of practice based care.

We’re scary for the system.

We help people remember their power. Remember their voice.

Hospitals hate when birthing people say ‘no’ as a complete sentence.

They try to scare our clients into submission. We are there reassuring them with evidence based care and teaching families to trust their guts.

We protect birth.

We are the keepers.

A year ago, took these beautiful photos for me to celebrate Black Breastfeeding Week. I’m so happy I did it! I was 8 months in, and here I am, a year later, close to 20 months in and a baby later.

Breastfeeding my sons has been quite the journey, and, while not always perfect, I would do it over in every lifetime. I love reclaiming the knowledge that was once taken away from our ancestors. I take pride in showing the young women AND young men in my life that feeding your baby this way is also normal. It is radical and soft girl at the same damn time 👏🏾

For anyone who has given their baby drops to nursing for years, you deserve to be celebrated. You did it!

So pat yourself on the back, mamas! We’re out here, and I’m so proud of us! And don’t forget to let them know BLACK MAMAS BREASTFEED, TOO 😏!

We’ve had the childbirth attorney as a guest on our IG LIVE and she shared an important stat… none of her loses cases had a doula present.

And yet, hospitals and providers are weary of our presence?
