Heartstrings Birth

So much great info!

Dancing in pregnancy and labour !
"Dance during labor could reduce labor pain to an extent, shorten the duration of labor, promote natural childbirth, and improve satisfaction with labor, with no adverse effects on neonatal outcomes."
Love this included study too "During the active phase, pregnant women danced with the midwife "

And what time were you born?

My kids were born at 1:16pm (Tuesday) and 5:20am (Thursday). I was born at 9:19am on a Saturday morning, and when my mom got back to her recovery room with me, the Smurfs were on! 💙

I am kind of in love with postpartum visits. 🧡 To support the families who need help or reassurance, process or answer questions about births, and soak in that lovey energy for sleepless but happy families…it’s all just so good.

Amongst Halloween preparations, navigating having school-aged children, and continuing to move into what I hope is one of our very last homes—I realized today that I have had the privilege to support the births of 😍nine😍 babies since August!

What a thrill, what a solemn blessing, what an utter gift. Thank you to the universe for giving me this calling! Thank you to my client-families for inviting me into these extraordinary moments.
