There are always 2 sides to everything. Since women who vbac get bombarded with the forever uterine rupture stats (usually wrong ones too 🤔) Here some counter stats that we aren't told that relate to c-sections #informedbirth #informedchoices #cesareanbirth #csection #educateyourself #birth https://www.instagram.com/p/COvs18zgQhb/?igshid=1e7z8ys3qr1q3

Thankfully this client was able to avoid loosing her entire placenta to pathology. Please remember that testing can be denied or done in a way that achieves both wanting testing to be done and wanting to still encapsulate. ▪️▪️▪️ #informedchoice #informedbirth #informedconsent #placentaart #birthart #placentapower #happypostpartum #placentamom #sacramento #placentaencapsulation #placentalove (at Folsom, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBmT98iJ0Wb/?igshid=rmg8gsetyt7g

SPLASH! 💦🌊 "Uh-oh! My water broke!" It's a classic movie scene. But does it match with reality? Not so much. Tell me, when did your "water break" during labor? (Technical name is "rupture of membranes.") 🌊 Did it happen naturally or did your OB or Midwife do it artificially using an amnihook? 💧TIP: Most women do NOT need their water broken during labor. (Baby can be born even with intact membranes. It's actually very cool!) 💧 Membranes will rupture spontaneously during most labors.💧 Generally it is artificially done either to A) enable another intervention to be done or B) to try to speed up labor, which is an intervention in itself. #informedbirth #birth #birthstory #waterbroke #pregnantagain #momtobe #babystory #pregnant #improvingbirth (at Doula Heidi Duncan - Expecting New Life Birth Services)

After 3 long years, I'm lifting the ban. I'm once again taking clients planning to birth at Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville (aka Gateway), albeit selectively. Changes are happening and I want to see them through. So if you're looking for a Birth Doula, let's talk. It's got to be the right fit, though - you, me, your OB - I'm realistic. We can figure that out. And then I'll tell you all about the goodies in this basket. (Or you can read about them on my blog, expectingnewlife.com/peanut-balls-clarksville/ It's a great story.) 🆕🆕🆕 #clarksvillemoms #clarksvillebirthcommunity #clarksvilletn #gateway #tennova #birthplan #birthdoula #doula #peanutball #birthball #epidural #hospitalbirth #informedbirth #birthoptions #EvidenceBasedCare #evidencebasedbirth #heididuncandoula (at Tennova Healthcare, Clarksville Tn)
