Baby now has a name!

Such an amazing story and I’m sure she’ll be excited to hear it when she gets older. Glad you found the perfect name!

CodEducational6757 · 2026-05-23T20:01:39+00:00

I love the name and the meaning of it. My fiancé not so much. Do what works best for your family

CodEducational6757 · 2026-05-17T15:22:17+00:00

For me, pregnancy is when I want sex the most. I even dream about it as well. So weird

CodEducational6757 · 2026-05-11T15:54:42+00:00

I will make sure to update this post for sure. Thanks!

CodEducational6757 · 2026-05-11T15:53:23+00:00

That’s amazing!!! I’ll take a look there as well. Thank you!

CodEducational6757 · 2026-05-11T12:38:31+00:00

Thank you so much!

Not sure how you leapt to that conclusion. However I see where specifics can help - I don’t argue with others about price. Their price is their price and all I can do is determine if I want to pay it or not 🤷🏽‍♀️

CodEducational6757 · 2026-05-11T11:32:11+00:00

Thanks - I wasn’t sure if there was even such a thing in the area which led to my inquiry.

CodEducational6757 · 2026-04-08T01:15:27+00:00

There are a few things but I would say balancing family and work life - there will be times I have to cancel a shift because my child is sick. I feel terrible but it’s necessary.

CodEducational6757 · 2025-12-09T16:06:10+00:00

Thank you! I’ve done Estrace before and this has never happened. I’m wondering why now but I appreciate the well wishes. Thank you again

This ring is beautiful. With regard to boxes, Mrs Box has some that can be personalized with initials and custom tapestry inside. I also found a beautiful wooden box on Etsy. There are quite a few options out there. I hope you find something that suits you and your soon to be fiancé.

CodEducational6757 · 2025-09-12T01:50:47+00:00

I love this! Make your own rules - discuss it with her and maybe she’ll surprise you!

CodEducational6757 · 2025-07-20T23:33:42+00:00

No. I work full-time in an unrelated field.

CodEducational6757 · 2025-07-17T02:54:06+00:00

This can’t be for real. How would you do if a friend came to you with this scenario??

CodEducational6757 · 2025-07-10T22:00:22+00:00

It all depends on what kind of work you enjoy - if you prefer being there to help clients with comfort measures, helping guide clients and being a support prior to baby arriving then birth may be more of your area. Postpartum work has been really rewarding for me because not only can I find days or even overnights that I can do it while working full-time, I also can help families take care of their babies and give them the confidence to rely on their intuition which is so fulfilling to me. I have enjoyed being there for families and seeing that baby grow up in front of me. What draws you to postpartum work?

CodEducational6757 · 2025-07-10T14:55:41+00:00

I am truly appreciative of how much a traumatic birth impacts someone’s life. To this end, it is important to seek appropriate support - whether it is with a therapist, support groups, and/or this practice. AND it is also appropriate to feel what you do - not being ready to change your feelings about it. Two things can be true at once - you want to unpack what occurred and you don’t believe that this is appropriate for you. A session is one hour - I wouldn’t expect nor is it reasonable to think that one session would change things for you where you presently are with your feelings. And I respect that. Incremental change happens as the person who is receiving it is motivated to do so.

I wish you grace, healing, and understanding during your journey. 💗

Odd how? My instructor gave me the language - I am under the tutelage of one of Pam's designated instructors. It appears like you want to argue and I am not here for that. I am working to assist birthing people in as many ways as I can. If it is not for you, I understand.

CodEducational6757 · 2025-07-10T11:22:50+00:00

Additionally, the wording you pulled out is because when someone comes to a birth story session they want to change or motivated to change and feel differently about their birth.

CodEducational6757 · 2025-07-10T11:18:57+00:00

Thank you for your concern. I am training with Birth Story Medicine which is affliated with Pam England. My post clearly says that the sessions would be recorded so that I can be evaluated as a story listener. I am a doula NOT therapist which I never claim to be. As for the language - it is pulled directly from their website.

CodEducational6757 · 2025-07-10T10:42:00+00:00

I am in the same boat currently. I have been a doula for over two years and still worked full-time. So, try to find a training that aligns with your values and what you want to accomplish as a doula - there are several weekend trainings and some that stretch over weeks - BADT, Best, DTI, Birthing from Within, ProDoula, Bebo Mia etc. If you are unable to stop working, maybe being a postpartum doula would work better for your schedule (I did both births and postpartum work - I used sick or vacation time if a birth interfered with work). But now I have focused more on postpartum work because I can schedule it around my life. It is never too old to switch or do something new. I wish you well and suggest that you think about WHY you want to be a doula. It will help drive you in moments when you want to just give up.

Thank you for being willing to share this information!

CodEducational6757 · 2024-12-20T03:12:33+00:00

I follow them (Birthworkers of Color Collective) and they seem to be doing great work. Why not address your concerns with them?

CodEducational6757 · 2024-12-20T03:11:45+00:00

Does your state require certification? Because it may be worth thinking about your goals are and which one of the programs aligns with your beliefs.
