Manifestations For A New Mother
Please do not be scared to love yourself.
Don’t be scared to hold yourself close,
To remind yourself it will all be alright,
To uplift yourself,
And accept yourself for who you are.
Please
Don’t forget to give yourself kisses,
To embrace every wrinkle
Every blemish,
Every scar.
Please don’t measure your worth by your surroundings,
You are not your home.
You are not the people you live with.
You are not your babies.
You are you, and you are good at doing that and
You are enough.
Please don’t forget to succumb to joy.
Don’t forget to let yourself be a reason you smile.
Don’t forget to take care of you,
To take a bath,
To eat a meal prepared only for you,
To take yourself shopping,
To relax and unwind…
Please don’t be scared to love yourself.
Don’t be scared to trace your fingers along the pain,
To pause and simply feel
To accept happiness and sorrow,
To forgive yourself.
Please don’t be scared to cry
No matter the situation, how happy or sad….
Do not worry when it feels you are the only one–
You are not!
Do not feel your worth has been diminished–
It has not!
Do not be ashamed when you aren’t the same as last year–
You shouldn’t be her; she is gone!
And,
Please,
Do not be scared to love yourself.

Why Should I Have a Doula?
The word “doula” is Greek, and means “woman’s servant”. For thousands of years, women have served other women during their births, and their support has been proven to have positive outcomes.

A doula is a woman who has been trained in childbirth, either professionally or through experience, to aid women in their prenatal, labor, birth, and postpartum experience. Her main goal is the mother’s health, wellness, and comfort. She will provide emotional, physical, and informational support throughout the process.

support and affirm both parents. Doula’s give the partner comfort and confidence in their role, can help the partner remember key decisions in rapidly changing situations, and can make sure the partner is in the right place at the right time.

Every woman should have a doula at her birth–and worldwide there are thousands! There are so many women eager and willing to give another woman the care she deserves during her child bearing experience, please be sure to ask around your town for help no matter what your financial situation, or how well you think you can handle everything alone!
