Doting Doula

✨what I have been processing through✨

It seems like the births I attend with have themes of what needs to be worked out. I don’t know how to explain it…

✨Not knowing I could listen to my intuition.
I told my husband on the way to my induction “She’s not ready to be born yet.” His response? “How do you even know that, and what do we do?”

✨Not experiencing labor at all.
I only remember one contraction being a little intense with my first birth. Once I was 4 cm, the OB broke my water and it was an immediate epidural (with both).

👀Birth trauma isn’t only about what happened. It’s about how your nervous system experienced it.

Part 3 coming…

🙃I don’t know if you caught it…but I have 4 children altogether. My two older boys and my daughters (that I birthed)

🎉 wahooo 🎉
