11/10/2020 Having a baby in 2020What a year it has been! One that has been filled with unexpected twists and turns, yet still making the best of it!
We welcomed our baby girl, Diana Lee, on May 4th 2020 amidst the COVID-19 lockdown. I was so thankful to have had an amazing support team; my husband, doula, midwife and nurse at our birth center. I was disappointed and heartbroken that our son was no longer able to attend as we had planned. However, I was very grateful for the beautiful experience we had. She has been such a blessing and is full of Joy! Diana made her debut at 21.5" and 10LB, 10OZ. During these months, I have supported families virtually (previously planned due to baby Nesspor, not Rona) and in person. Now more than ever I have seen an increase in the need of having additional support for families. Not because you cannot do it on your own, not at all. You are powerful and made for this! However, things have changed quickly, too quickly, and having a doula on your side can be a game changer throughout pregnancy when your prenatal visits have been shortened and made less personal, when staff at hospitals are limited and more hands off, and during a very unique postpartum journey. You are never alone, not should you be unless you desire to be. I am excited to continue to support families in 2021 and see their strength shine through! Comments are closed.

What are Transcend Families saying?"...Hannah has become so much more than that. She supported us every step of the way—from being almost absurdly available during my pregnancy for questions or just to chat, to helping us find donor milk when we found out our baby wasn’t getting enough to eat, to texting me to do a postpartum check in while she was on vacation. I probably should have used the hypnobirthing techniques I’d practiced or printed out reminders of how I envisioned our son’s birth happening, but in failing to do any of that, I discovered just how amazing of a doula Hannah is. All I needed during the intense moments was her voice reminding me that this was all to bring baby earth side, to use my breath, to spontaneously get in our bathtub (because I hadn’t gotten the birth pool I obviously should have). I had no idea of the blessing Hannah would become when I first spoke with her. She knows what you need before you do and even when you don’t. She will take care of you, be silly with your toddler, and lovingly help you bring your baby into this world. And at the end of it all, you will feel like you have made a new friend with the warmest heart, who loves your babies almost as much as you do." ~Brittany B. |
