A slow self-directed birth💫 Thank you to this

A slow self-directed birth💫

Thank you to this amazing first time mama for letting us witness how pushing/breathing and birth look like when physiology is respected and mother/baby is safe and undisturbed🙏🏽

We hope this will inspire you to trust your body and baby❤️

Posted @withregram • @thebirthservant To the birth community from this brave first time mother and birth giver. 🩷 “If it weren’t for brave women sharing their birth videos for me to watch I would’ve never done a home birth. I think it’s important that we share these moments. Normalize a normal event. I don’t know if my birth video will be an encouragement to others but I do hope it can be. God used the births I saw to soften my heart to home birth and encourage me to trust His design so if sharing this birth has that impact even a tiny bit, it’s worth it.”

Home birth is for the first time mothers. 🤍 Don’t wait, start now.

This mama took the @painfreebirth course!

Using positive birth images and affirmations durin

Using positive birth images and affirmations during pregnancy can help you, not only prepare, but also manifest your wishes and needs for your baby’s birth.

By using visualization and affirmations you can cultivate a more positive mindset and mental blueprint for childbirth and contribute to a stronger sense of empowerment and confidence during the birthing experience.

Visualizing your cervix opening effortlessly like a flower works for many women in labour.

We have created our new doula training because we

We have created our new doula training because we know that it matters how a woman is cared for in pregnancy, birth and beyond.

As practising doulas we have direct and empirical experince with being there when oxytocin fills the room and when births are more complicated and a calm clearheaded energy is needed.

We know how to stay calm and guide our clients through these waters and we are looking forward to sharing our wisdom with you.

We will dig into the dark and we will nourish the functional, meaningfull and wise ways to be a doula.

Our doula training is intended to educate doulas, with focus on how you, as a trained doula, can offer support in pregnancy, labour and early postpartum through the five modular pillars of care:

~ Informational support

~ Physical support

~ Emotional support

~ Embodied support

~ Professional support

It matters how we are met, listened to, inspired and held in our transformation into motherhood.

We know, that our warm doula-hands matter, our presence, holistic expertiece and humanness matters and we make a positive difference for mothers and babies.

We will share our best pieces of advice and practices from years of experience from many, many different births and journeys.

Testimonial from Gaya, first time mum:

“We signed up for the 6 weeks 𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑩𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑩𝒆𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒅 class to know about how to prepare for the birth in Denmark.

Now, we feel we are more informed about what to expect and mentally prepared to ask the right questions during labour and birth.

Karina and Louise are extremely sweet and answer all your questions during the classes.

You mainly learn how the role of partner is important and how they can help you with pain relief, mental support during labour.

You also learn about pain relief methods available at the birth clinic.

Added benefit is you meet a lot of to-be parents and share knowledge/information.

Totally recommend if you like slow paced birth preparation course.“

Thank you Gaya and congratulations with you little one🙏🏽

If you long to both slow down and have a space of fellowship and heart.
