We're talking essential oils and aromatherapy with a Certified Aromatherapist (can you guess who it is?)

  • How can you choose a quality oil?
  • How can oils be used?
  • Who can use essential oils?
  • They're natural, so they're always safe, right?
  • Can essential oils be used during pregnancy, childbirth, or babies?

We're sharing some valuable information to help you decide if, when, and how you might decide to use all those essential oils you've been buying and not knowing what to do with.

Doula2Doula - Prodromal Labor

Prodromal Labor

Doula2Doula

play

11/17/20 • 58 min

Have you ever wondered:

  • How does a birth-giver really know labor is starting?
  • What if it's (the dreaded) "False Labor"??
  • "Why isn't my body doing what it's supposed to do?"
  • Is there something wrong when labor doesn't seem to start the way birth class explained it?

Everybody talks about the physical aspects of active labor. Birth-givers and their families are often waiting for and focused on 2 signs: either water breaking or contractions.
But what if contractions do come...and then stop...and then start again...and on and on? What does it mean? Is there something wrong? What should a birth-giver do?
We're talking about what can cause prodromal (aka "false") labor and what a birth-giver can do if it happens.

🎉It's World Doula Week and we are together again!!! 👩🏽‍🤝‍👩🏿🥰
In this episode, Exie & Ciana are celebrating doulas everywhere for World Doula Week, March 22-28, 2022.
Recently there has been an increase in public appreciation for the work of doulas and the positive impact we can have on people during different life-changing events. We discuss some well-known and, perhaps lesser-known, ways doulas provide support.
If you are an aspiring doula, listen for some important questions you can ask when evaluating and choosing your training.
Also, the positive impact of doulas can extend beyond the obvious. Did you know that birth and postpartum doulas can help improve the maternal mental health of clients and help strengthen the foundation of families in the days and weeks of early parenthood? Listen to find out some simple things that can make a huge, lifelong impact.
