Birth is like winter. It can be long and harsh but also, peaceful and beautiful. #CharlotteDoula #Charlotte #Doula #clt #CharlotteNC #BlackOwnedClt #charlottedoulas #winter #snow (at Charlotte, North Carolina)

Postpartum Care sometimes look like encapsulated placenta and a recovery smoothie. Birthing is alot of work. My job now is to care for the mom as she cares for the baby. This is done in so many ways. Here's a few of my normal postpartum care duties: 💞 Belly Binding 💞 Breastfeeding help 💞 Baby Wearing & Swaddling instruction 💞 Light housework 💞 Restorative meals, drinks, etc. 💞 Timeout for mom 💞 Light errands & chores Her village can help too. Send prayers, antiflamatory soups, positive affirmations to her phone, text messages, and other postings #doulatrainer #AfricanAmericanDoula #CharlotteDoulas #postpartumDoula (at Florence, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjlCDABWX_/?igshid=1udt2go4gnra6

"The moon's influence is called the lunar effect. It is widely believed if a woman is full term around the time the moon is full, its gravitational pull can influence when she will go into labor. Just as the moon's pull affects the waters on earth, it is believed to affect the amniotic fluid in a pregnant woman's womb."

Don't fall into the common #boobytrap of believing your body isn't producing enough milk because you can only pump a few ounces per session. For accuracy, weigh your baby before nursing and then again after to determine how much milk your baby is getting. Have your doula check your baby's latch. Monitor your baby's output. See a lactation consultant if you're having difficulty. There's help available. #CharlotteDoula #Charlotte #Doula #clt #CharlotteNC #BlackOwnedClt #CharlotteDoulas #breastfeeding #breastfeedingsupport (at Charlotte, North Carolina)

Sometimes the benefits for an induction outweigh the risks. #Doulas can explain the risks, benefits and alternatives to inductions and how an induction may impact your #birth plan. #CharlotteDoula #Charlotte #Doula #clt #CharlotteNC #BlackOwnedClt #charlottedoulas
