Is a Doula for me? Wednesday, May 23, 2012. My Very Own Empowering VBAC. I'm trying desperately to remember all the details. I truly do not want to forget one little thing! Before we became pregnant with Delaney I knew we needed a game plan for who to see and how to make a VBAC possible. I started messaging our CNM here in town about it and she assured me that she could see us through the pregnancy and transfer our care at the end and we could deliver down in Phx. Perfect! Soon after Stephanie came to ou...

What an incredible, fun, exhilarating, and beautiful experience it was! The mama at my first birth ROCKED! She made it to a stretchy 6 and got the epi after being in labor for 15 hours. What a trooper! So what I learned from this specific experience -. Knowing what to do and how much of it is not easy. Mom is in p-a-i-n. She is...I was...

Briana Shires - Birth Doula: Doula = more successful births?
http://yourperfectbirth.blogspot.com/2011/01/doula-more-successful-births.html
Is a Doula for me? Saturday, January 22, 2011. Doula = more successful births? When I was pregnant, a woman from my church called and offered to be our doula for FREE. I turned her down because I thought that doula's were only for women who wanted to have a natural birth (SO not true) and I thought it would be weird to have someone I knew in the room with me (looking back I wouldn't have cared and I ended up knowing my nurse that was there! Tends to result in shorter labors with fewer complications.

Briana Shires - Birth Doula: July 2012
http://yourperfectbirth.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Is a Doula for me? Saturday, July 14, 2012. Things Society Would Like Us to Believe. I was thinking. There are some huge. Misconceptions about labor/birth/breastfeeding. I figured I'd start with just a post about labor misconceptions. It's only normal to have an OB deliver your baby. If you are past your due date you can just be induced and everything will be great, you aren't supposed to go past it you know. An epidural is just like getting Novocaine at the dentist. C-sections are always necessary.
