(Thanksgiving-January)This October session is for you. 3 weeks of childbirth education and one week of breastfeeding. All from the comfort of your own home, couch...bed?Join us! https://www.bloombirthconcierge.com//october-thoughtful-ch

Have you considered adding a doula to your birth team? Come get all your questions answered at Birth Doulas of Pittsburgh's open house! (You'll see some of your favorite childbirth educators there, too!) <3

Let's be honest, social distancing with an infant is....less than ideal. Is everyone hanging in there?

AWHONN’s Position on Doulas with Patients During COVID-19 AWHONN recognizes that doula services contribute to the woman’s preparation for and support during chi...ldbirth and opposes hospital policies that restrict the presence of a doula during a woman’s active labor. Doulas are not visitors and should not be blocked from caring for patients in the antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum period. Most doulas have been contracted by patients weeks to months ahead of time and have established provider relationships. They are recognized by AWHONN and ACOG as essential personnel and part of the maternity care team, said AWHONN member Nancy Travis, MS, BSN, RN, BC, CPN, CBC, Florida Section Chair. AWHONN supports doulas as partners in care and acknowledges their ability to provide physical, emotional, and partner support to women. AWHONN opposes hospital policies that restrict the presence of a doula in the inpatient setting during an infectious disease outbreak.

Don’t go into parenthood unprepared!

Hi! Bethany here I am working on something and I need some help. If you have ever taken one of my classes (and really enjoyed it), either privately, at The Midwife Center for Birth & Women's Health, through Birth Doulas of Pittsburgh or at Kids Plus Pediatrics, could you send me a private message or an email? Thank you! I will be forever grateful.

We added a last minute class to the calendar and it starts next week! If you are due this spring, this is the class for you. Hop over the website to register for a comprehensive, personalized, cozy class. 4 week class starting January 29th.

Thanks for letting us be a part of your birthy births

Hello and welcome to our first childbirth class after Halloween. Please eat my extra candy and help yourself to the überlube #lamaze #dona #pregnancy #birth #pregnantinpittsburgh #412 #bloombirth #doula #midwife

Remember, we have a class tomorrow starting at 9am at The Midwife Center for Birth & Women's Health. Please accept that extra hour and sleeeeeep. I don’t want to cause alarm, but this might be the last fall back you can enjoy. For a while.

Two things I love! Lucille Ball and avoiding maternal hemorrhaging. (There’s a reason for the uterine love)

Doulas are rad! Check out Birth Doulas of Pittsburgh at their open house on November 7.

This. Is. Motherhood. And friendship. And love.

We have added one more series to the calendar before the end of the year. This 4 week Thoughtful Childbirth class will run from November 6-December 4. Perfect timing for holiday, New Year, and winter babies! Link in comments.

Look at this incredible photo of a baby in their amniotic sac!

Join us! This class is perfect if you are due October-December. Registration link in comments.

We love doulas!

Well....Samoas are pretty great.

Great graphics!

This time after birth is so important!

It's that time again! Come meet the doulas and hear all about what doula support looks like!

We love Happy Baby Company and will love them through this change, too!

Happy 4th of July! May your babies and dogs all sleep through the festivities tonight.

Twin placentas!!

This is a great note on what is normal for a newborn! Once your doctors and midwives are gone, you’re likely to start wondering about some of these things.

Wise words that we can’t believe still have to be said. Thank you, Dr. Neel Shah.

Shiny new class! Who is coming?! (Have more babies)

*off to edit our classes*

It’s true. We’re big Tormund fans.

Having a summer baby? This class is for you! Join us at Kids Plus Pediatrics to prepare for your birth experience.

Toddlers are the BEST

Instagram is bugging me to remind you all we are still here. We are!! And so so crazy busy. This year has been a ride! I snuck out today to check out a new part of town. I bought legit French croissant, sucked down this chai, and bought a bunch of used records in Millvale. What’d you do today?! #doula #lamaze #birth #burrrth #pregnant #pregnancy #pittsburgh #412 @tazzadoro @jeanmarcfrenchbakery #atticrecordspittsburgh
