Dare Alla Luce Doula

@dareallalucedoula

Excited to get my hands on these words of wisdom 🙏 - the new book #MAMASTE by #loribregman 💎💖🦋⭐️ "Here’s to more women supporting women and living from a place of compassion and love instead of judgment and mom shaming" 🙌 @lbreggy #doulalife #motherhood #compassion #parenting #womensupportingwomen
Posted @withrepost • @danniellehale.thebirthlens "Mothers need just as much attention as a newborn, because they too have just been born" • When did we stop checking in on and caring for moms postpartum? Everyone is so excited during the pregnancy and telling us how they can't wait for baby to get here. Then baby arrives and they oo and ah over babe and then what? Our bodies have just ran a marathon, our minds have shifted. Check in on us postpartum mamas, check in and ask "how are YOU doing?" instead of how is baby doing, "is there anything I can do for YOU?" instead of when can I see baby, and then FOLLOW THROUGH! Take a warm meal, offer to vacuum the house, do some dishes. Want to snuggle that sweet baby? Let mama go take a nice long shower while you do that. There's so many things that this "village" everyone talks about can show up and do for a mother in the fourth trimester. • Maybe you're reading this thinking "I don't need help, I don't like to lay around, I need to get up and do things, I'm fine". Even if labor and delivery went super amazing and you're feeling "fine", your body still just grew a human for 9 months, you labored for however long and you had a human come out of your body. Rest, relax, slow is fast mama and having help does not make you weak or any less of a mother. Let someone take care of you for a bit. • #birthbecomesher #militaryfamilies #postpartum care #postpartum #birthphotogs #birthphotographer #thebirthfemmes #carriagehousebirth #takecareofmom #doula #takingbackpostpartum
