placenta position for a baby delivery

At Stork Helpers, we spend a good amount of time talking about the power of the placenta and the health benefits it provides both before and after labor.  Why? Because it is powerful!  
 
The placenta is the organ responsible for the transfer of nutrients and oxygen to your baby during pregnancy. Additionally, after birth, the placenta can be processed and consumed to reduce the negative impact of postpartum depression and help make milk production easier for mama.

Today, when we think of a woman giving birth, most people will conjure up an image of a woman, sweaty and red in the face, partially reclined on her back with her legs held in twin stirrups. This has not always been the norm.  

There is a world of alternative birthing positions that can transform the birthing experience into something empowering and comfortable. By exploring non-traditional childbirth positions, women can discover a range of options that offer numerous benefits.

If you picture a pregnant mama delivering her baby, you probably conjure up an image of a messy-haired, red-faced woman lying on her back in a hospital bed with her legs in stirrups. This image has been painted for us by many different forms of media, especially television. 

Water Birth 101: What to Expect

Over the last ten years, waterbirths have dramatically increased in popularity.  

It’s always up to Mama how she brings her baby into the world. Today there are more options than ever to help Mama give birth the way she is most comfortable.  

In a previous post, we very briefly outlined why some mamas choose a waterbirth 

Waterbirth

Should I have a waterbirth?  Can I have a waterbirth?  These are questions I get from many as they prepare for birth.

Tamara was a wonderful doula! We had the pleasure of having her support us throughout the pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum. During the pregnancy, she helped us build our birthing plan, research treatments for my diagnosis of gestational diabetes, and prepare and transition into a family of 5.

Birth Doula. Birth Companion. Birth Coach.  All are various descriptions that are commonly used to describe a doula.   The word doula is a Greek word meaning “woman's servant.” Women have been serving others in childbirth for centuries and have proven that support from women has a positive impact on labor.  Find out how doula can help you achieve a natural childbirth.

Tamara holding certificate

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.

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.
