A few months ago, I was given the opportunity to attending a Spinning Babies Workshop. The class took place over a weekend and was filled with moms to be, doulas, midwives and chiropractors. All of there to learn morea bout how to help Mama and baby achieve the gentlest, most natural birth possible.
Bereavement Doula
Last year, I spent the weekend in northern Ohio at a training workshop. The training was not something that I wanted to do, as I knew it would be highly emotional. But I knew it was something that I HAD to do. Birth is not routine, every birth is different and not all births have the outcome that any one wants. The seminar was a training on how to be a Bereavement Doula. A doula for families dealing with the loss, whether unexpected or planned, or their baby.
5 Love Languages of Pregnancy
Over the course of the month, I have been applying The 5 Love Languages written by Gary Chaplain to pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. This week, I am covering how you can apply these principles during childbirth.
Testimonial: Chelsea's Birth
Tamara is the absolute best Doula to hire! We were referred to her by a friend who had delivered with her, but I had no idea the extent of love she would graciously share with us on our birth day.
Our little one decided to arrive 4 weeks early. Tamara stayed with us every step of the way. Communicating during early labor and joining us at the hospital in the middle of the night when active labor started.
Childbirth Class Reviews
Have you thought about taking a childbirth class? Wonder if its worth your time and money? Think it will be boring or that you wouldnt learn anything?
Think about taking a class with Stork Helpers. We offer a variety of classes to choose from depending on your needs.
Testimonial: Angie's Birth
Tamara is a wonderful person and doula! She met with my husband and I twice before our daughter's birth to discuss what to expect and the birth experience we hoped to have. She's a great listener and caring person! She went above and beyond made a birth position handout for us in the event she wasn't able to make it for the birth (due to a scheduled vacation the week before our due date)!
October Childbirth Class
Have you been looking for a Childbirth Class that is fun and informative at the same time? Join us at one of our upcoming 3 Week Classes or faster paced one day class and join in all the fun for yourself!
Tamara has developed a class combining her twenty years of being a Mama with her experience as a doula and childbirth educator.
Baby Fair
Join me at the Baby Fair at Fort Hamilton Hospital. Get a chance to talk to me about how a doula can support you.
Per the Kettering Health Network website "Baby Fairs are free, open-house events where future parents can learn more about successful pregnancy planning, financial planning, what to anticipate during pregnancy, and what to expect once baby arrives."
Role Of Your Birth Partner
Birth partners are important in helping labor go smoothly as they can provide both emotional and physical support. While everyone that probably comes to your house or meets up with you from the time they find out Mama is pregnant until months after the new baby arrives only wants to know how Mama and baby are doing - your role is important.
Labor Positions
Often times, women laboring in the hospital spend a good portion of their time in bed. Not all women know they have options on how they labor. In may situations, laboring in bed will prolong labor. Find out how to help ease your labor along.
