  • The Secret Tool for Healthy Pregnancy & Birth

    The Secret Tool for Healthy Pregnancy & Birth
    2025/06/10
    There is so much data on the benefits of doula support in labor. It truly is powerful . However, even families who hire doulas miss out on the holistic long term benefits of doula support for the first, second, third and fourth trimester. Navigating pregnancy and postpartum in our current system with only prenatal care is a major factor in increased birth risks. It's disheartening as a doula to witness clients undermine their goals during pregnancy and postpartum.
    • Registering for products that are harmful for infant development
    • Agreeing to cervical exams that are unnecessary and risky
    • Lifestyle choices that increase risk of serious complicaitons
    • Introducing practices that undermine their breastfeeding goals
    The truth is pregnancy, birth and postpartum are a bit of a wild card---but not as much as we've been led to believe. There are specific reasons women don't meet breastfeeding goals, why more and more women experience hypertension and gestational diabetes, reasons why they have precipitous labors. So many of these reason can be avoided with support of an expert. Your wonderful OB or midwife doesn't fill this role, their job is limited in it's scope. Like most professions, it's hard for providers to stay up-to-date on the peripheral research in their field. That's where I come in - I am a professional member of Evidence Based Birth with the latest data on Vitamin K, water birth, and so much more. I've also invested my time and money to have helpful information on complicated lactation, oral tethers, reflux, fertility nutrition, pregnancy nutrition and. hormonal health. Click here for the Supplements mentioned in the podcast, use code SHAREYL to get 10% off your first order. Set up a monthly order and save 24% on each order. The biggest problem is that women, mothers, dads, grandparents, friend and family do not know what the evidence shows is the safest, so we jsut assume that "more technology" equal better results. If you want to avoid this mistake: learn the evidence with me as your Digital Doula If you live in the East Valley of Phoenix and are looking for a Newborn Care Specialist or Night Nanny, work with me: East Valley NCS If you are expecting, join me in Sage Mama Maternity. Blending evidence and intuition is the key to experiencing a postitive pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Join Sage Mama Maternity
