I love that Hilary Duff chooses homebirth and shares it with the world. The more we share positive birth stories (and not just the drama on TV and movies), the more we can normalize physiological birth and the power that can come with it

From one of the G.O.A.T. Doula clients❣️ Happy World Doula Week to me 🤗

Thanks to Erin at Flutterby Birth Services for pulling the most up-to-date stats on c-section rates among the Twin Cities.
Pay attention to data such as this, how your providers speak about birth, ask about use of things like waterbirth, slings and peanut balls and how they feel about doulas to gauge if the hospital is the right one for you

They're heeeee-eeeere! Visit this link for a bar chart *and* spreadsheet reporting the 2022 Twin Cities' area hospital cesarean rates: https://www.flutterbybirth.com/blog/cesarean-rates-twin-cities-hospitals

**Annual Disclaimer: I am just the messenger. 🙃 Data is compiled as a courtesy to birthing families and birthworkers in the Twin Cities. It is a time-consuming process to mine and present data reporting in this way. When sharing, please credit

Two year nursiversary with this one. I have spent over 11 years of my life nursing a baby or toddler or both at the same time or one while growing another inside me.
If you knew me at the beginning, with the hesitation, the fears, the lack of confidence, the dare at say embarrassment and watched me along my journey until now I’m here to tell you that it gets easier if you’re struggling, your confidence and comfort will build, you make enough milk for your baby, nursing into toddlerhood is the worldwide norm and recommendation by the World Health Organization. But most importantly, find help. Find support. Whether it’s a sister, your mom, a friend, a doula, La Leche League, a lactation professional. Find the folks who’ve been in your shoes and don’t stop looking until you find us. It makes all the difference in the world.
