Check out our top 3 tips for pushing with an epidural ✨

🤍Getting an epidural does not mean you’ll be stuck pushing on your back. Side lying and upright positions work really well even when you don’t have much sensation and if you are able to move, use the back of the bed to support you in an all fours position. Try different positions until you find one that works for you!

🤍If you’re 10cm dilated, but still don’t feel pressure, give your body some time to get baby lower into the birth canal. This can greatly cut down on pushing time.

🤍The mirror can either be a hard no or a hard yes. Being able to get a visual of the progress when you push effectively can be a great motivator. Ask your support team about utilizing the birth bar or tug of war too!

What helped you most when pushing with an epidural?

You don’t need to have it all together before your doula arrives. 🤍

Your house doesn’t need to be clean.
The laundry doesn’t need to be folded.
The dishes can be in the sink.
You don’t need to have showered.
You don’t need to know exactly what you’re doing.

And you definitely don’t need to apologize for any of it!

Your postpartum doula isn’t coming to judge your home, your feeding choices, your routine, or how you’re handling motherhood.

We’re coming to meet you exactly where you are. 🤍

Maybe you need a shower.
Maybe you need a nap.
Maybe you need someone to hold the baby while you eat a hot meal.
Maybe you need help figuring out why the baby won’t sleep.
Maybe you just need another adult in the room who understands.

You don’t have to get everything together before you ask for help. Asking for help is how you start putting things back together. 🤍

That’s what postpartum support is for 🫶

Placenta Encapsulation with WCDoulas ✨

At WCDoulas, we believe postpartum support should be individualized and rooted in informed choice. One option some families choose is placenta encapsulation as part of their recovery care.

While research is limited and experiences vary, some parents report potential benefits such as:

🤍Increased energy during postpartum recovery
🤍Support for mood and emotional wellbeing
🤍Replenishing iron stores after birth Support for milk supply
🤍A sense of honoring the birth experience

Placenta encapsulation has been practiced across cultures for generations and is often used as a holistic support. Our team prioritizes education, safety, and proper handling so families can make empowered decisions about their postpartum care.

Questions about placenta encapsulation or postpartum services? Reach out — we’d love to connect!

Pushing in Labor: You Don’t Have to Rush It

The moment you reach 10 cm, it can feel like the finish line is suddenly right in front of you. But being fully dilated doesn’t always mean your baby needs to come out right now. 🤍

There can be a period of physiologic pushing, sometimes called “laboring down,” where you allow your body and your baby to continue working together before actively pushing.

And when it’s time to push, there isn’t one “right” way to do it.

You might:
✨ Push with your contractions and your body’s natural urge
✨ Use different positions—side-lying, hands and knees, supported squat, standing, etc.
✨ Make low, open sounds rather than holding your breath
✨ Use a mirror or your hands for feedback
✨ Push spontaneously rather than being coached through every second
✨ Change positions if something doesn’t feel right

Your care team may recommend a particular approach based on your baby’s position, your health, fetal monitoring, epidural, or other circumstances. There are also situations where more directed pushing is medically appropriate.

But if everything is reassuring, you deserve to understand your options and be an active participant in how you push.

And perhaps most importantly:
Pushing is not a performance.

You don’t get extra points for pushing “perfectly.”
You don’t have to be completely silent.
You don’t have to push in the position you saw in a movie.
And you don’t have to panic because your baby hasn’t arrived after a few pushes.

Your body and your baby are doing something remarkable.

Take a breath. Find your position. Listen to your body.
And let your support team help you—not take over. 💛

The Apgar score is a quick assessment of how a newborn is adjusting immediately after birth. It’s typically done at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth.

Apgar stands for:

❤️ A — Appearance
Is baby’s skin color pink, pale, or blue?

💓 P — Pulse
What is baby’s heart rate?

👶 G — Grimace
How does baby respond to stimulation?

💪 A — Activity
What is baby’s muscle tone?

🌬️ R — Respiration
How well is baby breathing?

Each category receives a score of 0, 1, or 2, for a maximum of 10 points.

And here’s the part many parents don’t realize:

The Apgar score is NOT a grade on your birth, your baby’s health, or your parenting.

It’s simply a snapshot of how baby is doing in those first few minutes and whether they may need additional support transitioning to life outside the womb.

A lower score at 1 minute doesn’t necessarily mean something is wrong. Many babies need a little help getting those first breaths going, and their score often improves by 5 minutes. ❤️

This World Breastfeeding Week, we’re celebrating the incredible science of breast milk—and, even more importantly, the incredible strength of the families behind every feeding journey. 💛

The 2026 theme, “Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works,” reminds us that we already know what helps families succeed: compassionate support, evidence-based care, protected time, welcoming workplaces, and communities that show up for parents. The goal isn’t just to encourage breastfeeding—it’s to make it possible for those who choose it through strong, consistent support.

As doulas, we’ve witnessed the beauty, the challenges, the tears, the triumphs, and everything in between. Breastfeeding can be deeply rewarding, but it can also be incredibly hard. There is no “perfect” journey.

Whether you breastfed for one feeding, one month, one year, exclusively pumped, combination fed, used donor milk, formula fed after giving it your all, or are still finding your way—you deserve to be celebrated.

Swipe through to learn five of our favorite fascinating breastfeeding facts, and join us in honoring every parent doing their best to nourish and love their baby. 🤍

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! 🌎🤱

Kinda chic is choosing what actually supports you—not what looks perfect. ✨

Birth and postpartum are messy, beautiful, emotional, and anything but Instagram-perfect. The chicest thing you can do? Build a support system that lets you rest, heal, and enjoy your baby.
