Prodromal Labor
Doula2Doula
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.

Happy World Doula Week!!!!
Doula2Doula
03/22/22 • 42 min
🎉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.

A Healthy Baby is Not All That Matters
Doula2Doula
02/09/21 • 53 min
So you've had a baby - now what?
Your baby is finally in your arms. You are getting congratulations and want to be happy... everyone else is happy...you smile and say "thank you", but inside, you are wondering what is wrong with you because you don't feel happy. You might even be feeling detached from everyone, including your baby - what's going on here?
People ask you to share your birth story, but you don't want to...it makes you feel uncomfortable, so you skim over the details and you hear "well, at least your baby is healthy".
What causes a traumatic birth? How common is it? What can you do to help yourself or someone else who has experienced a birth that is traumatic?
We want to hear from you - reach out and share your birth stories with us.
