I held off on taking the test until the next day because I knew that pregnancy tests are more accurate in the morning. Shockingly it was +.

I hate certain terms used in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Here is the big one that is used in a lot of scenarios: fail, failure, failed

As the owner of Atlanta Birth Doula I have high expectations of the birth workers on our site.

Planning for my home birth was freeing and so enjoyable. It was also less stressful...

Like many pregnant people, I was very nervous and excited upon the news that I was to become a parent

You -- and only you -- get to decide what happens to your body. If you don't want to be touched, then no one should touch you.

As birth workers we are infinitely compassionate to all around us, knowing that we are all interconnected.

Our feelings of self-worth and our ability to parent depend on feeling empowered, heard, respected, and loved.

I decided to get up and start dancing to some K-pop. I had a few more contractions.

I want my daughters to know their worth. That they matter. That they deserve better. This is the life lesson I would wish to impart to them.

Our job as doulas is very hands on. When a client hires us a bond if formed. Trust and rapport are established.

Many of our clients are turning to home birth during this pandemic. This is a wonderful option for some but how do you know if it’s right...

Our go-to apps to stay connected

As doulas, people ask us all the time if we have any recommendations for how, where, and when to set up a registry. We have lots!

Doulas are there to provide mental and emotional support through your pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum period.

If you don't want to or are unable to breastfeed, what can you do if you still want to give your baby breastmilk? You can exclusively pump!
