This mom had to fight for her right to birth vaginally in her hospital. It is unfortunate that she had to litterally fight, but I am so proud of her. It shows how some care providers try to emotionally manipulate their patients to do what they want. It also shows how in the end it is [...]

I have had a cesarean with my first baby. It was a medical emergency and I feel that it saved my baby’s life. Baby was not OK and needed to be born NOW. I am grateful for living today when this medical intervention is possible.
I have had 2 VBACs. They were normal births, baby was [...]

Here is the article. Here is my response.
This is really a shame that this mom had a negative experiences with her doula. My role as a doula is to support the mom in whatever SHE wants. This isn’t MY birth, it is HERS! I would NEVER leave a mother during her birthing time, no matter [...]

The midwife, Michelle was great. She really trusts [...]
