LET’S TALK ABOUT THE “PULL & PRAY” METHOD. 😂🤰🏽

Because some of y’all are putting a LOT of faith in those reflexes!

The withdrawal method, commonly known as “pulling out,” is NOT one of the most reliable ways to prevent pregnancy.

Here’s why:

🤎 Pre-ejaculate (pre-cum) can contain s***m. Yes, pregnancy can happen even if ej*******on doesn’t occur inside the va**na.

🤎 Timing isn’t foolproof. Withdrawal requires pulling out completely BEFORE ej*******on, every single time. One mistake can result in pregnancy. One drop of semen has millions of s***m…

🤎 About 1 in 5 couples using withdrawal as their only birth control method will experience a pregnancy within one year of typical use.

And no, just because it’s worked for you for the past three years doesn’t mean it will work next month! 😭

Now, does that mean withdrawal NEVER works? Absolutely not. But there is a big difference between a method that can prevent pregnancy and one that’s consistently reliable.

If you’re not ready for a positive pregnancy test, “pull & pray” probably shouldn’t be your entire family planning strategy.

And remember, withdrawal offers NO protection against sexually transmitted infections.

Let’s normalize having honest, informed conversations about reproductive health without shame or judgment.

🤎 Sincerely, The Village Doula

Because reproductive education is part of maternal health, too!

You know what breaks my heart as a doula?

Watching videos of mothers in labor who are completely overwhelmed, terrified, and seemingly without the support they need.

And my immediate thought is always, “I wish someone was helping her through this.”

Somewhere along the way, society normalized the idea that childbirth is supposed to be chaotic, frightening, and something women simply have to endure.

But here’s the thing: Labor can be intense without being traumatic.

A mother can scream, cry, shake, or feel overwhelmed during labor. Those are not necessarily signs that something is wrong or that she’s lost control.

But feeling frightened, unheard, or completely alone shouldn’t be accepted as just another part of childbirth.

That’s why continuous labor support matters.

Not because doulas can eliminate pain or guarantee a particular birth experience, but because no mother should have to navigate those moments feeling abandoned.

We need to stop normalizing suffering and start normalizing SUPPORT. 🤎

Sincerely, The Village Doula

DOULAS ARE FRONTLINE MATERNAL HEALTH WORKERS, TOO. 🤎

And it’s time we started recognizing them as such.

Picture the following scenarios:

- It’s 2 AM. A mother is in labor, overwhelmed and afraid. Her birth plan is changing, and she doesn’t understand her options. Partner is exhausted and feeling confused on how to advocate for her.

Her doula is there.

- It’s 11 AM. A postpartum mother is struggling emotionally, hasn’t eaten, and feels like she’s drowning in motherhood.

Her doula notices.

- It’s 4 PM. A family is facing pregnancy loss, trying to process the unimaginable.

Her doula shows up.

This is what frontline maternal health work looks like.

Doulas aren’t just there to help mothers breathe through contractions.

We’re in homes, hospitals, and communities recognizing unmet needs, connecting families to resources, advocating for informed decisions, and supporting mothers through some of life’s most vulnerable moments.

We’re not replacing doctors, nurses, or therapists. We’re filling a different, equally important role in the maternal health support system.

When we talk about improving maternal health, doulas deserve more than a mention.

We deserve a seat at the table.

🤎 Sincerely, The Village Doula

📣 We have a special announcement! I’ve been holding onto this one for a while! 💙

Some additions to The Village are especially close to my heart, and this is one of them! 🥹

Please help me welcome Daizy Johnson, our new Village Support Specialist!

As a mother of four boys and an experienced caregiver with a natural gift for nurturing children, Daizy brings a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and hands-on experience to our growing team.

What makes this introduction particularly special is that the Village Support Specialist position was actually created with Daizy in mind.

I had a vision for a role that would allow her to use the gifts she already possesses while creating opportunities to expand her skills and grow into even greater responsibilities within maternal and family support.

Rather than rushing the process, I waited until the timing and mutual interest aligned naturally. And I’m so grateful that they did!

So, what will Daizy be doing? 💙

As our Village Support Specialist, Daizy will provide an extra set of helping hands to the families we serve! From assisting with infant and toddler care to offering practical support to growing families, she’ll work alongside our team to help make the transition into parenthood a little easier. She’ll also support our family-centered programs and continue building her skills as she works toward her future goals!

And here’s what makes this so full circle for me.

Daizy has been part of my community for a few years, lending me a caring hand when mine were full at church with two newborns and a small toddler! 🥹 Now, she gets to extend that same care and support to the families we serve.

We’re excited to welcome her, invest in her development, and see all that she brings to Sincerely, The Village Doula.

Welcome to The Village, Daizy! 💙 everyone join us in celebrating her!!!

To the mamas who are approaching their due dates and feeling a little anxious about labor and delivery, I want to say a prayer for you this morning. 🤍

Heavenly Father,

I lift up every mother who is preparing to bring new life into this world. Lord, You know the thoughts she hasn’t spoken, the fears she carries quietly, and the uncertainty she may be feeling as her delivery approaches.

Father, I ask that You replace her anxiety with peace, her fear with courage, and her uncertainty with confidence.

Remind her that she does not have to have everything figured out. That she is allowed to ask questions, advocate for herself, receive support, and trust You through every moment.

Lord, I pray for wisdom, compassion, and discernment over every provider who will care for her. May her voice be heard, her concerns be taken seriously, and her body be treated with dignity and respect.

I pray for safe deliveries, healthy mothers, and healthy babies. And when things don’t go according to plan, I ask that Your presence remain a steady source of comfort and strength.

For the mother who has experienced birth trauma, remind her that this birth is a new experience, and that her fears deserve tenderness, not dismissal.

For the first-time mother who doesn’t know what to expect, surround her with reassurance and loving support.

And for the mother who is simply tired, uncomfortable, and ready to meet her baby, give her the endurance she needs for the journey ahead.

Lord, remind every mother that she is not weak because she is afraid. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to move forward even when fear is present.

May Your peace guard her heart and mind as she prepares to welcome her little one.

In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🤍

Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

If you’re expecting and feeling anxious about your upcoming delivery, this prayer is for YOU. I’m praying for you, mama. 🫶🏽

Today, I had the pleasure of attending the 2026 Maternal & Family Health Services Annual Community Luncheon at The Banks Waterfront in Pittston.

A beautiful afternoon celebrating community, connection, and the work being done to improve the health and well-being of families across Northeastern Pennsylvania! 💜

One of the highlights of this year’s luncheon was the recognition of the Pennsylvania Black Maternal Health Caucus with the 2026 Outstanding Public Service Award. As a doula and maternal health advocate, it was especially meaningful to see Black maternal health being recognized in a room full of community leaders, organizations, and advocates.

One thing I continue to appreciate about the work I do is the opportunity to connect with people who share a commitment to healthier mothers, babies, and families.

There is so much that goes into improving maternal health outcomes, and none of us can do this work alone. It takes collaboration, advocacy, education, access to resources, and a genuine willingness to listen to the communities we serve.

I’m grateful to be part of these conversations and even more grateful to bring what I learn back to the families I have the privilege of supporting through Sincerely, The Village Doula.

It really does take a village. 💜

Look who stopped by the office this morning!

I left my work phone at home, so hubby brought it to me and made sure I had some water too! 🥹❤️ Of course, I had to get a quick picture before he left! 😂

Shoutouts to him not only for the favor but for being the tech support & maintenance supervisor at SVD!

It’s the little things! Love you, babe! ❤️😘

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS IN THE AIR?! 😭🤣👶🏽👶🏽

I am genuinely trying to figure out what is happening in the baby-making department here in NEPA! 😂

First, Sincerely, The Village Doula went through a wave of BABY BOYS! 💙

Then, out of nowhere, the girls decided it was their turn! 🎀

And NOW?!

TWINS. TWINS. TWINS. AND MORE TWINS! 😭🤣

Y’all. We have several sets of twins coming through SVD, and here’s the kicker…

Nearly ALL SETS ARE SPONTANEOUS IDENTICAL TWINS! 🤯

families are finding out they’re getting DOUBLE the blessings!

As a twin mama myself, I am absolutely tickled! 😂❤️

From a birthwork perspective, it’s fascinating to see these little patterns and waves of pregnancies come through our practice. And while I know clustering can happen purely by chance, I cannot help but laugh at how these babies seem to be arriving in groups!

At this point, I’m convinced somebody sent out a memo that I didn’t receive! 🤣

NEPA, WHAT IS GOING ON?!

Let’s talk about something we don’t discuss nearly enough in postpartum care.

The mental health of FATHERS.

I came across this illustration from The Postpartum Stress Center, and I absolutely love it for so many reasons. But what stood out to me most was that the parent experiencing the intrusive thoughts was the father.

Not the mother. The father.

And I think that’s such an important depiction.

When we discuss postpartum anxiety, depression, OCD, and intrusive thoughts, our conversations almost exclusively center mothers. And while maternal mental health absolutely deserves that attention, we cannot overlook the fact that fathers can experience significant psychological challenges during the postpartum period, too.

Think about how easily these experiences can go unnoticed.

A father who constantly worries about his baby’s safety may simply be described as protective.

A father who struggles to trust anyone else with his baby may be viewed as overly cautious.

A father who is overwhelmed, irritable, withdrawn, or emotionally exhausted may never be asked what’s happening beneath the surface.

And how many fathers even recognize that what they’re experiencing could be related to their mental health?

We cannot identify struggles that we aren’t making room for people to discuss.

I believe there are two issues at play here. We have fathers who may not feel comfortable expressing vulnerability, and we have systems that don’t consistently create opportunities for them to do so.

Both deserve our attention.

As a doula, one thing I am passionate about is helping families understand that postpartum is not simply a period of physical recovery for the birthing parent. It is also a profound emotional, psychological, and relational transition for the family.

And that is exactly why I wanted to offer “So We Just Had a Baby… Now What?”, our couples postpartum education class in partnership with Contemporary Beginnings

Because I want couples to have conversations that go beyond preparing for the baby’s arrival.

I want us talking about mental health. Emotional adjustment. Relationship changes. Expectations. Communication. The invisible challenges that can arise when two people are learning how to navigate an entirely new season of life together.

I want both parents to feel informed, supported, and seen.

We can advocate fiercely for maternal mental health while also acknowledging that fathers need support, too. These conversations are not in competition with one another.

They are both necessary.
