the week I turned 27 🤍

the week I turned 27 🤍

#yeg #yegmom #yegdoula #birthday #birthdoula

The whole reason I created @birthpoolsbygrace was because after my birth I thought..

“That was great but there must still be better”

There has to be a more calm way.
Without bright lights and 100 voices yelling at you.
On your back without a choice or option.

During my pregnancy, I frequently felt like I was let down by my care system because of my age and just how busy it was!

So here we are.
4 years. 160+ births attended.

And we’re just getting started 🤪

Let’s chat epidurals 🏥💉👶🏻

Just because I own @birthpoolsbygrace doesn’t mean that I don’t hype clients who chose to get an epidural! Your body your choice queen 😘

There are moments where an epidural is 10/10 the BEST choice for you even if you planned a natural birth! But epidurals do also carry some consequences and risks that we should be educated on when we aren’t in labour mid contraction at the hospital 😂😂

I’ve had two clients need blood patches so far this year from residents doing epidurals. Ask for the pro. Not the student. #justmyopinionnnnnn

I’ve had clients whose babies don’t like the epidural medications and that we can’t control!

I’ve had clients still feel everything. Like everything!!

And I’ve had clients become noodles with 800 lbs sea legs that I help rotate positions for! One of my girls says it feels funny to be tossed around by a little white girl 😂😂😂😂😂

I want more epidural, eat and information! Join us! I’m here to help 🌷🤍

LETS CHILLAX ON THE POSTPARTUM BOUNCE BACK IDEA 🤪

God forbid your body show proof of life.
God forbid your face and body changes to accommodate life.
God forbid your energy goes to your newborn first.

Give it 6/8 weeks.
Give yourself patience.

Sue me I want to be wanted 😭🏥

Because once I’ve been led into the operating room, I’ve seen the actual physical difference. It plays on these people’s births!!

Because I’m pretty much the only person on the care team that sees the family pre-fertility all the way to through to the end of postpartum!

Because I know how big this Birth experience is now for them and I know that they are going to need support and help processing.

Because if every third person is having a C-section, why aren’t doulas AND midwives allowed into the OR as support people for the family?

I know they have the space and the capacity. I am happy to create a training. Our doula families want our support and they deserve it, especially if it’s unplanned and traumatic 🤍

“They really pushed these things hey”

Yes they did!! Because they do their style of birth everyday!

Where 90% of clients get epidurals.
Where 90% go with the flow of medicalized birth.
Where it doesn’t feel safe to be that 10% of wanting different for your experience!!

I’ve been there. I’ve seen it. I’ve warned clients. And on the other side each time they say “wow we are so glad we had you and will 1000% get a midwife and aim for a different hospital” EACH. TIME. 😂🥲🥲🥲🥲

So choose wisely.
Doula care open for 2026 with me 😘

Hate to break it to you queen 🫥

That’s not VBAC supportive. That’s VBAC tolerant.

That’s control.
That’s bait and switches.
That’s expectations. ON THINGS WE CANT CONTROL.

I can understand not wanting clients to go past 42 weeks, but before 40 weeks is a wild card chance as majority of people go between that 40 week & 41+4 week mark!!

We want a hospital with waterproof & Bluetooth monitors that support movement and utilizing hydrotherapy 🩵😍

We want communication.
Personalized risk assessment.
Doula support in the OR if we get there 😌

Here to help you!!
Your VBAC hype queen, grace 💅🏼

Unless you’re thinking about giving birth in a horse trough, I’m going to support you 😂😂

I own @birthpoolsbygrace for a reason friends!!

I’ve had amazing success with first time mom’s with the right support and right mindset, having their babies at home, in the water with their partners right by their side 🥹

It’s dreamy.
It’s realistic.

If you don’t envision your birth this way, that’s OK! But if you do, follow that little voice, I’m here to help amplify it 😘

Spaces for September 2026-December 2026 now open for virtual and in person doula support, dm me or check my site 💌

Pre-eclampsia is a real thing folks and we DO not mess around with her 👀

So sometimes that means an OBGYN transfer of care and induction!! Your Midwife will still be there for your birth to support you, but can’t deliver your baby

- the OB on call will 🏥

This means nurses & OBGYNS. Hospital environment. A complete pivot. And sometimes - even an urgent C-section depending on the severity!

So hire a doula to help support you through these drastic but yet so real moments during your pregnancy & birth journey 😘

I have availability from September 2026 onward for hands on birth support for Edmonton & Regions 📍

Dm me your due date or check out my site!! 🌸

true story, AND ITS NOT TRUE 😋👶🏻

Epis suck, there are moments where they are truly needed in emergencies but the recovery is a BEAST for your pelvic floor and 🐱

First - ask!!!
Is this an emergency? Can I try pushing on my side quick? Can we wait 15 more minutes or 3 more contractions?

Second.
If it’s done without your consent - sue, call out, report and be mad. Be pissed. Dm me and I’ll send you the report link. It’s a real thing that still happens!!!

Out of my career, my clients who have episiotomies versus the natural separation of their tissue below have drastically different recoveries!

Don’t worry. Trust your body. Go see a Pelvic physiotherapist before you give birth.

- your girlie 🤍

It really is that easy!!

Again. Every body and every baby are different, sometimes supplementation is truly medically necessary!!

But if you’re goal is to feed from the 🍈 🍈

Borrow the liquid from a friend. Harvest colostrum prenatally. Book the lactation class and consultant. Ask your friends and Facebook groups 🤍

But I do vividly remember telling my grade 6 counsellor I was gonna be famous. I just didn’t know what for yet and honestly, I feel like I’ve hit that goal 😋

Make water birth accessible!
Use water to cope during birth. It’s that easy!

There’s movement in our community right now 📍

And not in a positive way. We are losing our midwives to burnout. We are losing our ability to use birth pools in hospitals. We are losing our ability to birth the way we choose.

Written by @grow.gentlekind ⬇️
1) Midwifery led births keep birthing people home longer and can even deliver babies out of hospital. This matters because it stops the triage and L&D from being full and harming infants, as well as the person in labour and postpartum. Midwives can also swiftly head to a home where birth is happening too fast to make it to a hospital, alleviating stress from our already breaking EMS services.

2) Midwives reduce the amount of medicalized assisted births such as the use of vacuums and cesareans, and unmedicated births cost less!!

3) Midwives are currently over capacity now, because the on site hospital midwives support inductions and people who shift to high risk. Again this helps relieve stress on the nurses and OGYNs.

We need people. We need moms. We need pregnant people.
We need anyone with a uterus. We need anyone who has used a midwife in their birth or knows someone who benefited from a midwife, to write and insist that fundinding towards midwifery in AB is essential to help with cutting costs to our health care.
