Have a blessed Easter, friends! It's no regular Easter for the family. We are moving and things have been crazy. To those who have moved before you know the hassle. I'm wishing you lots of love and I hope you enjoy the holidays.... P.S. Please note posts may be less frequent with the latest updates. May post once we are in our new location.

We all have heard that our technology is listening in on us. But I don't think they expect to hear what I have to say all the time. Just like I always say. "TALK BIRTHY TO ME" I 100% can talk on this conversation for many days and I have a lot of fun with it. ... But do they expect it, I don't think so. #plussizedoula #plussizebirth #plussizepregnancy #birthdoula #doulalife #postpartumdoula #pregnantbodypostivity #bodypostivity #Bodysupport #breastfeedingsupport #niagaraparents #niagarawomen #niagarasupport #plussizebabywearing #plussizestravel #plussizebreastfeeding #plussizeformulafed #plussizecsection

Who here has seen Ghost Whisperer? Its an incredible show and has nothing to do with childbirth. But if I remember correctly there was some infertility issues she was experiencing. (I could be wrong I watch a LOT of TV) Anyway, in the end, she has to have an emergency c-section and it made me wonder how many c-sections have been portrayed on TV. ... Is there a specific show where the character had a c-section that it stood out to you?

So I did a thing! I'm now a woman with black hair. I wanted to switch things up. What do you think ? What are your self-care things?... #plussizettc #plussizepregnancy #plussizedoula #plussizebirth #plussizebreastfeeding #plussizes #bodypositivity

Reposted from @rebekkahtraptow Due dates are amazing! Oh, wait... kind of not right? Tell me if this sounds like something that happened to you... or maybe prepare for what happens.... 100+ times getting asked if baby is here or if labour is starting Increase of pressure from HCP to hurry things along. Getting sick and tired of it yourself, counting and stressing. In reality, babies don't have a calendar or a clock in there. Some are early birds and some are late. Thats okay as adults we do that all the time, right? I know that I am an early-bird as an adult but when I was a baby.... I was roughly 43 weeks and considered late. So baby talk did you come late, early on time? Or your babes? #plussizedoula #plussizebirth #plussizepregnancy #birthdoula #doulalife #postpartumdoula #pregnantbodypostivity #bodypostivity #Bodysupport #breastfeedingsupport #niagaraparents #niagarawomen #niagarasupport #plussizebabywearing #plussizestravel #plussizebreastfeeding #plussizeformulafed #plussizecsection #evidencebasedcare #evidencebasedbirth #informedchoice #informedpregnancy #informedbirth #duedate #40weekspregnant #pregnancy #birth #momtobe #expecting #duedatesaredumb #bumpdate

The 3 C's of Labour are as follows Confidence Coping Calm... This can help make a great labour.... Confidence to believe in your body, in your baby, in your birthing environment. Coping gives you the ability to cope with what you can't change, using different coping methods. (Breathing exercises, different positions, etc.) Calm. This is an important one as you need to remember that keeping calm will help a great deal. (Technically another coping method too) Did anyone use this cycle at your birth?

This month is always remembered for Infant Loss. (at least to me) I have never lost a child, but I feel for those who have. If you ever need to talk, I am a listening ear. I spoke all about it in this month's podcast, it's a short one since the subject is a touchy one.... https://anchor.fm/fruitfulwombds (if on Instagram check my bio for my quick links) #plussizedoula #plussizebirth #plussizepregnancy #birthdoula #doulalife #postpartumdoula #pregnantbodypostivity #bodypostivity #Bodysupport #breastfeedingsupport #niagaraparents #niagarawomen #niagarasupport #plussizebabywearing #plussizestravel #plussizebreastfeeding #plussizeformulafed #plussizecsection #infantloss

An affirmation for your day... Something you can say when you are in labour or something you can remind yourself. Some of these things are simple enough to think about every time you fear the pain of labour. "Each Surge brings my baby closer to me..."

Feel Full with 1 Bowl!!! My new blog is a healthy recipe that can make up to ten servings of this delicious soup, it was a thick and creamy soup which I just was busy putting things in a pot. I highly recommend it if you need to get your green vegetables in due to HCP's recommendation. You barely taste the greens with the tomato....

I was such a cute baby! OMG look at that!! Today is my grandmother's 91st birthday! She has dementia and its not the same as when I was younger. But I grew up with her, she lived with us. Before we were very close, there wasn't anything I would tell her and when I was younger she and I were closer than my sister. My mother had my sister Rebekah, and I had my oma!... 91 what an incredible triumph! What was/is your relationship with your grandparents? What are your children's relationship with your parents? Believe me its so worth it! #plussizedoula #plussizebirth #plussizepregnancy #birthdoula #doulalife #postpartumdoula #pregnantbodypostivity #bodypostivity #Bodysupport #breastfeedingsupport #niagaraparents #niagarawomen #niagarasupport #plussizebabywearing #plussizestravel #plussizebreastfeeding #plussizeformulafed #plussizecsection

The book that started it all! The very first pregnancy book that I bought after I learned all about the miraculous gift that our bodies did! The gift of how the next generation arrived. It hadn't stopped by 15 I had at least ten pregnancy books. I couldn't stop.... I almost have 60 books related to pregnancy, birth and postpartum, fertility, bereavement and they are all in my lending library. It just keeps going too, I never have enough!
