Show Notes

On this episode of The Resource Doula, I chat with Hays about their work as a doula, photographer, and advocate for informed choice. And how they help clients feel more empowered and informed so they can have the birth and postpartum experience that leaves them feeling capable and proud. Hays also talks about how to prepare for birth rather than planning your way out of it and what life might look like if we actually honored people's choices when it comes to pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Resources they mentioned:

• Spiky squeeze tool for labor
• Book: Transformed By Birth: Cultivating Openness, Resilience, and Strength for the Life-Changing Journey from Pregnancy to Parenthood by Britta Bushnell
• Evidence Based Birth website
• YouTube channel by Nancy Mohrbacher
• Kelly Mom site for breastfeeding and early parenting support
