My meals aren’t always the best but my snacks are ALWAYS bomb! I like combining food groups to get the most out of a snack or meal. Here’s another favorite of mine! Consuming cherries & almonds, especially during pregnancy: 1. Boosts your immune system (cherries) 2. Promotes brain health in the fetus (cherries) 3. Relieves swelling & inflammation (cherries) 4. Fights fatigue, boosts energy (cherries & -almonds) 5. Prevents gestational diabetes by helping regulate blood sugar levels (cherries) 6. Helps control blood pressure therefore helping prevent the risk of preeclampsia (cherries-potassium, almonds-calcium) 7. Promotes better sleep (cherries) 8. Strengthens blood vessels (cherries) 9. Treats constipation (cherries & almonds) 10. Relieves muscle pain (cherries) #doula #doulas #birthdoula #birthdoulas #blackbirthdoula #blackbirthdoulas #blackdoula #blackdoulas #blackdoulasmatter #blackmamasmatter #atlantadoula #atlantadoulas #blackatlantadoula #blackatlantadoulas #birthwork #birthworkers #birthsupport #blackatldoula #blackatldoulas #atlantapostpartumdoula #atlantapostpartumdoulas #hireadoula #doulaoncall #plussize #plussizeandpregnant #plussizepregnancy #plussizepregnant #virtualdoula #plussizedoula (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtI0ptAmdB/?igshid=1mxz3szzdwpdk

There is no shock that childbirth can be traumatic for someone who has not been sexually assaulted or abused. But what about if they have? It might seem obvious that when a survivor of sexual abuse feels pain in their vagina, anus, mouth etc., caused by something strange or foreign being inserted it might trigger unpleasant memories. What isn’t immediately obvious is the ways that healthcare providers don’t prepare you for the unexpected emotions related to birth. It’s almost like they expect you to know everything. There are approaches to childbirth that are helpful to survivors of sexual assault. Not just that, but it is common for pregnancy and birth to trigger memories and emotions of sexual abuse. As doulas, perhaps we can adopt trauma-informed care methods that allow us to support the whole person with collaboration, choice, control, cultural relevance, empowerment and physical and emotional safety. This would mean making adjustments to the way you work with survivors. Acknowledging the challenges that arise from sexual trauma as well as offering coping skills that may help through childbirth. #doula #doulas #birthdoula #birthdoulas #blackbirthdoula #blackbirthdoulas #blackdoula #blackdoulas #blackdoulasmatter #blackmamasmatter #atlantadoula #atlantadoulas #blackatlantadoula #blackatlantadoulas #birthwork #birthworkers #birthsupport #blackatldoula #blackatldoulas #atlantapostpartumdoula #atlantapostpartumdoulas #hireadoula #doulaoncall #plussize #plussizeandpregnant #plussizepregnancy #plussizepregnant #virtualdoula #plussizedoula (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqLUpxAYKH/?igshid=oefkjseza8tu

One of the things I stress to my clients is exercise and activity. The more you move, the easier pregnancy, labor & birth will be! Another thing I always want to be is relatable and while I can’t relate to each of them in every way, i can relate to sometimes needing accountability. I can’t tell my clients to move if I’m not moving. I always said that i refused too be that doctor who tells a patient about their weight and I have some extra weight myself. A good chunk of my client base is plus sized and there’s already a level of stress there. Being plus size and pregnant sends anxiety and stress through the roof! Little do they know, they hold me accountable by challenging me on the Apple Watch app and I appreciate them. Doulas are still human even though we sometimes wear capes! Everyday hasn’t been perfect but I did something! #doula #doulas #birthdoula #birthdoulas #blackbirthdoula #blackbirthdoulas #blackdoula #blackdoulas #blackdoulasmatter #blackmamasmatter #atlantadoula #atlantadoulas #blackatlantadoula #blackatlantadoulas #birthwork #birthworkers #birthsupport #blackatldoula #blackatldoulas #atlantapostpartumdoula #atlantapostpartumdoulas #blackatlantapostpartumdoula #hireadoula #doulaoncall #plussize #plussizeandpregnant #plussizepregnancy #plussizepregnant #virtualdoula #plussizedoula (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnyLwqAJih/?igshid=aa5ateryhcwr

Drinking lemon water can help curb morning sickness, reduce blood pressure, aid in digestion, relieve constipation, boost the immune system, help maintain healthy kidney function and reduce swelling. And like most things during pregnancy, moderation is key! Use lemon water as a remedy, not necessarily a preventative measure.
