#Repost @margaux.fk 💕💕💕💕 ・・・ I have about 30 photos of our birth taken by our doula, Meredith (💕), of @communityloavesjax & @mumdajax. I look back at them so often they'd be dog-eared if they weren't digital. I wasn't expecting them, and I'm so, so thankful to her that they exist. Birth is wild. What I remember is one thing, and what the photos show is something else. If you're considering having a photographer attend your birth, do it. And if you live in Southern Maryland, call me! It would be an HONOR to scoot into your delivery room/birth center/OR/bedroom/bathtub with my DSLR and give you what Meredith gave me. #momsday #laborland . . . . . . . . . #pregnancy #doulas #doula #placentaencapsulation #childbirtheducation #mumda #mumdajax #placentaencapsulation #doulalife #pregnant #pregnacy #birthwithoutfear #birth

#Repost @alexmichelephotography #mothersday2019 🌸💗🌸💗 . . . In honor of Mother’s Day (and in efforts to not sob hysterically all weekend long because I miss my own mom) I’ll be sharing my most favorite, heart-wrenching mama images I’ve ever photographed! [photo description: this image here was documented from the second birth I’ve ever been apart of. It was a long and hard labor of love. Mama labored for 8+ hours alongside her amazing doula and midwife and I was there too, aside her, the whole time watching and documenting in total awe of what a woman’s body is capable of doing. This was a mind blowing experience and I am still completely honored mama @mishayla_planepaper allowed me to be apart of her sacred day.] PS- I am always available for birth photography! . . . . . #pregnancy #doulas #doula #placentaencapsulation #childbirtheducation #mumda #mumdajax #placentaencapsulation #doulalife #pregnant #pregnacy #birthwithoutfear #birth

Why a Doula? 💗 . . Studies show that a doula’s continuous support, practical knowledge, and labor enhancing techniques help to reduce pain and anxiety in laboring women. When a laboring woman is less frightened and feels less pain, her labor is more likely to progress without the need for interventions. Research shows that a doula’s presence during labor and birth results in the following positive outcomes: reduction in the rate of cesareans . reduction in epidural requests . reduction in the use of pitocin (a contraction induction method) . reduction in vacuum assisted deliveries . shorter labors . an increase in successful breastfeeding and bonding . a reduction in “baby blues” and postpartum depression . Research shows that postpartum doula care results in the following positive outcomes for families: parents feel more secure and cared for . more successful in adapting to new family dynamics . greater success with breastfeeding . greater self-confidence . less postpartum depression . lower incidence of abuse . .
