SHORT QUOTES
Your doula is your labor support, that's going to be your girl who's with you while you're in labor. Your midwife usually doesn't come until you're gonna have a baby. - NicoleĀ
Ā
When we leave birth as intended, and as few interventions as possible, that's going to lead to the beautiful natural birth that you want. - NicoleĀ
Ā
Being at home, it can be more a flawless journey because you're already in your safest place. - NicoleĀ
Ā
We deserve to feel every part of our birth. It's beautiful and might be a little uncomfortable and a little painful for some. But look at all the outcomes that it's actually going to create. - NicoleĀ
