What I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before Birth:
What’s the one thing you wish someone told you before birth?
For many of us, it’s this: you don’t have to do it alone.
It sounds simple, but in a world where birth is often planned, rushed, or framed as something to “get through,” we forget that it’s also deeply human. Emotional. Spiritual. Transformational. And above all—you are allowed to be fully supported in it.
Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or your fourth, the truth remains:
No Matter Where You Intended to Birth…
Hospital, home, birthing center—or somewhere in between. Birth doesn’t always follow our plans. That doesn’t mean you failed or that your experience is any less valid.
Birth is not just about location.
It’s about feeling safe, seen, and supported—wherever it unfolds.
No Matter Who Is Beside You…
Maybe you have a partner. Maybe you don’t. Maybe you’re birthing with your mother, your best friend, or a rotating team of nurses. Maybe you’re walking this path solo—or it feels that way.
Whoever is (or isn’t) physically beside you, know this:
You deserve continuous emotional and physical support—someone who knows birth and knows how to hold space for you.
When Birth Feels Big, Know You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
Because it will feel big. Birth is BIG.
It may challenge you in ways you didn’t expect. It may crack you open—not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. And in those moments, you might doubt yourself.
That’s when you most need the reminder:
You are powerful—but you are not alone.
From Birth Plans to Baby Snuggles…
A doula walks with you through it all. From your very first questions about labor, to creating a birth plan, to navigating contractions, to adjusting to postpartum life—your doula is there.
Holding your hand, advocating for your wishes, reminding you to breathe, and telling you: You’ve got this—when you’re not sure that you do.
Your Doula Is With You—Every Step of the Way
That’s what doulas do. We’re not just there for the birth—we’re there for you.
Your fears. Your tears. Your victories. Your voice.
We don’t replace partners or providers—we enhance your circle of care. We help you feel heard, held, and honored. Because birth isn’t just about a baby being born—it’s about you!
So if no one’s told you yet, let me be the first:
✨ You are worthy of support.
✨ You are allowed to ask for help.
✨ You don’t have to do it alone.
And when the time comes…
We’ll be right there with you.
