Obsessed with my beautiful new work of art from @pregopots ✨❤️🙏🌕 #pottery #doulalove #belly #artisanmade
I love this capture. Laboring in the closet, in a nest. Dark, quiet, unobserved. Safe. This is what mammals and laboring people require in physiological birth. Easy to do at home, but what If you’re laboring at a hospital? Nest in the bathroom. Bring some pillows in, turn off the lights, shut the door. Find your safe place. // 🙏 📷 @laurenguilfordbirths ❤️ #homebirth #physiologicalbirth #supportedbirth #doulaworld #choicesinchildbirth #birth #empoweredbirth #doula
