How to play with a newborn (0-3 month old)

I cannot begin to tell you the amount of times I have heard “They are just babies! They eat, sleep and poop“. This phrase is used all too often and makes me feel as though some people see babies more as objects than as a human who is growing and developing cognitive function on a…

I knew this would get too long, but this is worth the read if you’re here wondering if a doula/Natalya is worth it – I’m here to tell you 10000% she is. Our birth stories stay with us for our whole lives, and having Natalya there to make sure its as positive as a memory as possible will be something you’ll never regret. Natalya is kind, passionate, and so deeply caring – exactly what you need in such a vulnerable time.

Months ago I reached out to Natalya for a consultation meeting, and I knew right after that call that she was going to be the perfect fit to my birth support team. I was envisioning a peaceful/nonstressful home birth, and her demeanor is so calm, but so confident and empowering that I knew she would help me make this vision my reality.

Leading up to the day of delivery she came and did a home visit where we really thoroughly walked through our birth plan, my previous birth story, and Natalya asked us very thoughtful questions to understand me and my husband on a better level. She also taught us some partner-assisted labour positions so my husband was equipped with ways to better support me as well.

On the day of delivery, she was amazing. She came with a big bag of comfort measures, she was ready with really helpful suggestions (ex. Ways to progress labour, words of encouragement, reminders to drink water, trying new movements, etc), and she brings such a positive and soothing energy. She was also great at ensuring my husband was involved and right there by my side too. Together they were an incredible duo and I wouldn’t have had the beautiful home birth that I did without them.

I am truly *forever* grateful to Natalya and the huge role that she played in helping me manifest my positive birth and for her support in my first weeks postpartum.

lucas1 When Mike and I found out we were pregnant, we were so excited and wanted only the best for our unborn child. We chose the midwife route because we wanted the freedom of choice and the intimate care we could only get from midwifery.
I realized through my journey I was missing something and when my naturopath educated as to what a Doula is and how they can make your birth experience much more relaxing; I knew this is what I was missing. Natalya came into my life 2 years earlier on the professional side; so, when I found out she became a Doula, it was like Fate wanted us to meet. We had 2 prenatal sessions with Natalya. She was so warm and inviting and provided Mike and I with a lot of knowledge during our first session. She had answers to every question and gave us a few sources to watch. By our second visit, she helped us through various options for our pre-labour and it we had a lot of fun..

On the big day, she literally had to drop everything to be at our side. She was so caring and amazing every step of the way. Her support was unconditional and it felt like we had an additional family member at our birth. Natalya also came for a post-natal follow up and was happy to help anyway she could. She has become so special to our family and we are forever grateful to Lucas’s Doula!!
We can’t wait to share our next child’s experience with her and I would encourage you to consider Natalya for your birth experience.

Love Always Mike, Karen and Lucas
