Your Mental Health
Matters
"I deserve to take care of myself and prioritize my mental health during this transformative journey."
During pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, it is imperative to prioritize your mental health as it can have a significant impact on both you and your baby's well-being. It is common for women to experience mood swings, anxiety, and stress during this time, but if you are struggling to cope, it is important to seek help without shame.
If you feel like you may be suffering from pregnancy psychosis, depression, postpartum depression, or psychosis, it is crucial to seek help immediately.
Some signs to watch for include:
Persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.
Severe anxiety or panic attacks.
Difficulty bonding with your baby.
Insomnia or excessive sleepiness.
Loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed.
Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby.
Hallucinations or delusions.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, do not hesitate to reach out to a healthcare provider, therapist, or support group for assistance. Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, and there are resources available to help you through this challenging time. Your mental health matters, and you deserve to receive the support and care you need.
Remember, self-care is crucial during this transformative time in your life, and prioritizing your well-being is essential for both you and your baby's health.

About Me
"Diving into the Benefits of Water Births"
Water births involve labor, delivery, or both that take place in a tub of warm water. The buoyancy and warmth of the water can help to alleviate discomfort during labor and provide a soothing environment for the birthing individual. Water births are believed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and increase the body's production of endorphins, which can help with pain management. The water also supports the birthing person's body, making it easier to move around and find comfortable positions. Additionally, some believe that the gentle transition from the amniotic fluid to warm water can be calming for the baby. It is important to consult with healthcare providers and experienced professionals to ensure a safe water birth experience.
If you are considering a water birth, Terry is the expert you want by your side. She is passionate about supporting families through this unique and empowering birthing experience and would love to discuss how it can be incorporated into your birth plan. I am also offering birthing pool rentals, providing you with the option to create a tranquil and comfortable environment for your labor and delivery. Feel free to reach out to learn more about water births and how we can support you in achieving the birth experience you desire.
Welcome
New Families
"Within the scope of my practice, I am committed to promoting the safety and well-being of my clients. Therefore, I will not attend a birth where there are no healthcare professionals (such as a midwife or OB) present, or any client who has not received adequate prenatal care. The presence of trained professionals and proper prenatal care significantly enhances the chances of a safe and positive birthing experience for both the client and the baby."
