My motto is life is "to each their own," we all have our reasons for our preferences, and as a Doula my goal is to support the mom in making her own choices and letting her know she is strong and I will be by her side every step of the way.
I chose to labor at home as long as possible with all three kids, and I also chose to give birth in the hospital for many of my own reasons. My doctor was so respectful of my choices, he let me do what I needed to do, and afterwards I was happy to be taken care of before I jumped into the duties of motherhood. After giving birth we have to jump right into baby care, birth is natural and really does not need to be managed, just supported. However it is intense, and the body has to heal, and we have to jump right into the beautiful little life that was created. Anyone else that has any kind of procedure in the hospital is told to stay off their feet, rest, and moms need to get as much rest as possible. But after all birth is not a procedure, the body knows what to do, and if the mom tunes in, she knows what to do too. Thank God when everything is in the right direction, it is such a beautiful release and feeling of accomplishment with baby in your arms.
I have also been learning about going with the flow, and you never know what the situation might bring, that is when having a wonderful team that you are a part of is everything, they support the mom in the decision that is right for her.
Today I experienced a beautiful hospital birth as a doula, we got to the hospital at the very end, and the beautiful baby was born in one hour, I feel honored to have been part of it. It is all a miracle, it is all beautiful, when the mother feels empowered and blissful.
So I got back home in time to help get my kids ready for school, and then sat down with Matisyahu for breakfast. I was putting oatmeal on a spoon, it was perfect, it was sticky and didn't fall off. He kept on giving me back the spoon to put more on. Then I gave him a glass cup, he was so excited to do everything himself. My other kids started walking at 13 months, he is almost there, so exciting :)
Then had a wonderful hour with my sister in law, they are still in town and are coming over when the kids are done with school to play and eat. Working now at my kid's school, had the baby with me, but he is ready to go go go, so I asked my husband to pick him up. So now I am enjoying some quiet time.
Feeling tuned in,
Feeling connected,
Feeling of service,
Feeling of purpose,
Really felt grateful for my kids this morning,
Thank God for it All!
