Blossom Doula Services

For your pregnancy, labour, and postpartum period- bringing positive affirmations into your life can change your current state of mind and help you focus on your breath. Sometimes we forget about our strength but our birth partners, Doulas, and everyone on our team can help remind us. We are here to lean on, but we know you have all the strength you need inside of you, sometimes we all just have to be reminded. ... #positiveaffirmationsforpregnancy #affirmationsforbirth #birth #labour #pregnnacy #inhalepeaceexhaletension #newborn #hospitalbirth #homebirth #ldnontario #middlesexcounty #strathroyont #ldnont #newparents #2021duedates #winterbabes #expecting #blossoming #doula #labourandbirth #postpartumdoula #postpartumcarepackages

My friends, family and colleagues have showered us and the baby with so much love this past week. We are so lucky to be surrounded by the sweetest people This is an outtake from just prior to my shower- but a new fav of the bump Nesting has started but I am waiting for the burst of energy people talk about because today the exhaustion has hit. Wanting to organize all the things, but taking multiple breaks along the way. ... Third trimester moms, or those who just delivered did you get a burst of energy close to the end, or was it the complete opposite?!

Your birth partner is by your side, and on your side. I love this affirmation from @thepositivebirthcompany. I Couldn’t agree more. The times that we’ve been going through lately have been rough to say the least, being pregnant or going through fertility treatment or testing over the last couple years for everyone has come with extra challenges. ... Being able to have my partner by my side is super important through as much as possible, I want to ensure I keep him in the loop after every appointment, test etc. When he’s able to come in for ultrasounds, Midwife appointments (just recently ), fertility appointments or whatever it may be I always make sure I give him the opportunity to come with me so he is fully aware of what is going on and so he can ask questions. It’s also for me though, I love having him there with me, and it’s not every appointment that he’s able to attend but a few here or there make it that much better. I’m glad this is now a possibility as I know not long ago we were attending appointments with little to no support. #birthpartner #byyoursideonyourside #positiveaffirmations #birth #newborn #positivebirth #baby #labouranddelivery #peanutball #labour #ldnont #519 #strathroyont #middlesexcounty #doula #labourandbirthdoula #postpartumdoula #postpartumcarepackages #blossomdoulaservices #nursery #2021babes #newjourney #motherhood

Happy Thanksgiving & Happy Harvest to all of the farmers loving this weather today! We hope you have a great day with friends & family.

We support the labouring person and also whomever else is in the room with you We know labour and birth, but ultimately your partner/ spouse/ person you’ve chosen to be with you in the birthing room know you best! Together we all make a great team. Until Doulas are allowed back in hospitals as an additional support person, I am available for support in other ways. This could include prenatal support, birth prep, virtual birth support or texting support, and postpartum c...are. I also have care packages for the postpartum period as well! Reach out if you’d like more information #birthdoulas #postpartumdoulas #birthsupport #continuoussupport #birth #babies

Has your baby started rolling over? If they are starting to practice, ways that they can strengthen their arms, back, and neck is tummy time. Tummy time will help with the big push for rolling over! Some babies really don’t love tummy time, I try to get on the floor with them and bring their favourite toy right in front of them, this may only last a few minutes but may get longer the more often you practice! This often comes with disturbed sleep as well. Sometimes babes li...ke to roll up or onto their bellies and get stuck and need to be flipped over, this may only last for a couple weeks until they master it! Happy rolling into Friday #babymilestones #rollingover #babies #tummytime

This isn’t just a #birthaffirmation it’s a daily affirmation that you could use when anxious thoughts cross your mind. Do you have anxiety over birth?... Sometimes we have fears for the sole reason of not knowing what to expect. We have to dive deep and ask what we are most afraid of. Talking about your fears with your provider/ Doula/ birth professional is a good start. We also have to get educated about the birth process, (I.e; taking prenatal courses), this will help with understanding the changes happening in the body. Last but not least, investing in continuous support as it has so many benefits. I also love positive affirmations and how quickly they can change your mindset. #relaxedmind #relaxedbody #affirmation #birth #doula #postpartum

I don’t know if it’s the amazing sunshine today or what. But I definitely tried to make today amazing Today I cranked some tunes (#ericchurch), laid on the floor to soak the in, listened to a podcast, got a workout in and did some reading... it just feels so good to take a day every once in a while and spend it doing things that make YOU feel good. I did however do other house tasks as well..but next time you have to fold that laundry that’s piling up put a podcast on,... I promise you it won’t be as bad #doulalife #labourandbirth #maketodayamazing #affirmation #postivemindset

Postpartum Baskets

Birth is unpredictable, but just remember to trust your body. Find your breath. Dive deep and tell your self this during your pregnancy journey, birth and postpartum. The body goes through so many changes, it truly is amazing what it is capable of #birth #trusttheprocess #labourandbirth #pregnancy #postpartum #newborn #birthaffirmations

To the 2020 babes !!

Happy Holidays! I hope you’re able to make some memories with your family over the next few weeks, even though it may look different this year. A little throwback to this sweet little ladies #firstchristmas

Yes you are Always remember this #doulalove #doulacare #birth #labour

The smallest little foot As a Doula I am constantly reminded about how amazing the human body is and how it can create that .. and all the changes that happen during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Like honestly if you stop and think about it all, its sooo amazing! I have missed being able to support you in person SO much, and I can’t wait until that can happen again!! ... #doula #pregnancy #birth #postpartum

These were the first three baskets I sold. My friends who were also mommas to be trusted that I had put together a package that could help them in some way in the postpartum period. Maybe this package isn’t something on your baby registry, but preparing for your postpartum period is so beneficial, and you will be so happy you have some supplies for yourself after baby is here. Items are getting a bit trickier to find, so if you’re thinking of purchasing for your partner wh...o is expecting, your friend, sister, or for yourself, please reach out sooner than later Thank you for your support and trust in creating a package just for the labouring person.

Being educated on the process of labour and birth, and learning about the choices you have will allow you to have a much more positive birth experience. It can be more difficult right now to do in-person courses, so I was on the hunt for an online informative course on labour, birth, newborn basics and a sleep course. & I found one, ran by @mommy.labornurse! She has amazing courses that are in depth and will be fun for you and your partner. ... She has graciously given me a discount code for my followers. Use the code BLOSSOM for 10% off all courses on her website (except any bundles), just click the link in my bio! Let me know what you think! Link: https://mommylabornurse.com/newborn-basics/

Hi guys Thank you for following along with me This is me & my fav little pup Sherra. I wanted to show my face on here because it has been a while!! ... There is still only one support person allowed for in hospital births at this time, although I’m hoping that changes soon..I have pivoted a bit with my business. I have been supporting families still, doing some prenatal prep (gearing up to deliver) and postpartum care. During a postpartum visit I help with your newborn, answer any questions after delivery that you may have and I am always there to provide you with any additional resources. Additional support after your babe is earth side has many benefits! You both will have time to have a nap, shower, and someone to help tidy up so you have more time with babe. As you know I’ve also been selling postpartum packages! I have some available and ready to go, these make a lovely gift for a new mom (SO thoughtful). I also have many moms purchase for themselves so they are prepared. It is something a little different than your typical baby shower gift, but definitely so useful! If you’ve read this far, thank you!! & thank you again for following along with me, enjoy this beautiful November weekend! Kelly
