PREGNANT COUPLE

Currently Playing: Birthing at home, Bacterial Vaginosis, Cervical lip & Nuchal Cords, Dr. Emily’s 3 birth stories

Out of the 125 births I’ve attended as a birth doula in Portland, Oregon, only two have been home births — and having the honor of supporting Dr. Emily’s was something I will never forget. Emily is truly one of the most inspiring women I know and someone I deeply admire. She has already made such an incredible impact in the birth world in Portland, serving families with compassion, wisdom, and dedication through every stage of motherhood and newborn care. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Lactation Consultant, Founder of Be Well Baby PDX, Certified Neonatal Therapist, Pre/Postnatal Yoga Teacher, and Massage Therapist, Emily brings so much heart and knowledge into the lives of the families she supports. Hearing her share her three birth stories was powerful, emotional, and deeply educational. From home birth to navigating challenges like hopsitsl transfer, bacterial vaginosis, cervical lip, and nuchal cords, Emily speaks with honesty, strength, and grace about the lessons she learned through each journey into motherhood. I’m beyond grateful for your openness, your vulnerability, and the invaluable wisdom you shared in this conversation. It was such a joy to learn from you, and I’m so honored to know you. Thank you for continuing to inspire so many mothers, families, and birth workers alike. 🤍 Emily’s birth video with her third baby https://youtu.be/pwSlgH3B1Do My website: https://www.birthlinked.com My IG: doula.alison Dr. Emily’s IG : bewellbabypdx Website: https://www.bewellbaby.org Angela midwife Portland : https://www.glowmidwifery.com Tami Lynn IG: tamilynnkent Dr. Katie Canda IG: drkatiekanda Free group on Tuesday’s with Emily! https://www.bewellbaby.org/beyond-birth-blueprint Bacterial vaginosis https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/3963-bacterial-vaginosis Nuchal cord https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/nuchal-cord Cervical lip https://lamaze.org/AMP_EDN/403/Birth-Terminology-Explained-Cervical-Lip-2754.amp.html
