I am so excited to officially announce 📣 that I am joining the Innovation and Product Development Team at the March of Dimes to help lead their national Postpartum Initiatives! 🤩❗
I'm so very honored to be able to work with an organization that means so much to me and my family on a personal level to help make much needed, meaningful change for ALL postpartum people. 🙏🥰
Is there such a thing as a postpartum doula for a family with 53 month olds? Asking for a friend...😬🤯🤦♀️

So I've come to realize that SO MANY PEOPLE are not told during their postpartum stay in the hospital how to properly use a peri bottle after birth!! 🤯
Ya'll, this is *NOT* just for cleaning after you p*e. Peri bottles should also be used to dilute your urine while you p*e to help reduce the stinging that can happen wherever you may have some tearing or stitches.
❗️PRO TIP❗️ After each p*e, fill your peri bottle with HOT water and keep it by your toilet/on the sink (it will be nice and luke warm by the time you have to p*e again). Then, right before you start to p*e, start spraying the warm water from the bottle onto your v***a and perineum and let loose! 💦 The relief is amazing and you will likely not experience any stinging at all. ☺️
SPREAD THE WORD!!! 📢

I had the amazing priviledge of holding an Evidence Based Birth Savvy Birth Pro workshop this weekend with 24 community doulas with Chicago Volunteer Doulas!!! The conversation and discussion were so empowering and electrifying - I'm truly honored to be a part of both of these fantastic organizations :)

Yesterday was my first born's 10th birthday. 🥳 It is so hard to process how this tiny little baby who changed everything for us has been on this planet for an entire decade!
I was 24 when I found out I was pregnant after having been told just one year earlier that I was unable to bear children...it was the most terrifying and relieving realization of our lives. After a slew of pregnancy complications - and endless learning experiences - we welcomed our perfect little baby at 38 weeks.
He is the reason I have found my path to birthwork, and I am thankful for him every single day. ❤
