Dragonfly Doulas

I thought we'd start World Doula Week with celebrating my most recent birth. Emmeline was born on 2/11/22 and made quite an entrance. After labor stalled for several hours parents made the decision to break her water. Less than an hour later Little Miss Thang came Earthside so fast that the doctor didn't even have time to put gloves on! Mom was an absolute rock star all through labor and delivery, even choosing to not have meds of any kind. Dad is a pro and was rock solid in his support through it all from the first contractions to cutting the cord. Congrats Melinda and Roman Yegiyants!!!

Tell me your birth story below! ALL birth stories are fascinating, needed, and valid!

This quote is from ACOG (The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists), who are the leading word on all things birth. Just what are the "improved outcomes" that they quote? Shorter labors, fewer C-sections, less chance of interventions (forceps/vacuum), among others. What's not to love?!

I now have 4 signed clients! I'm absolutely loving educating and helping women advocate for their bodies and babies!

I have a business meeting with other Doulas in town today. Pretty stoked!

Another example of an amazing birth!
