At Mindful Birth, this doula-supported birth story follows Nicole’s 25-hour labor and early delivery at 36 weeks. After a difficult first postpartum experience, choosing a doula brought advocacy, natural labor support, and breastfeeding success, creating a more positive and empowered second birth.

When we got to the hospital my husband literally left the car running with all the doors open while we were checking into the hospital. Kelly (my doula) was calmly explaining to them that I was in transition and there is an urgency. Luckily my OB, Dr. Miller who we met with that morning, was in the lobby. The team at NCH responded quickly.

This birth experience has left me feeling so grateful, so empowered, and so relieved. I truly feel this experience would not have been as positive without the help of Tara. She was right there with me through the hardest parts. She has this calmness about her that I can only describe as a super power. I had just safely delivered my baby in the most redeeming and magical way I could have ever imagined.

My C-section was urgent so there were a lot of people moving very quickly but carefully.

He's here! On October 28, 2025, their hearts grew in the best way possible. Rose and Jayson welcomed their sweet boy, Karlo.

He's healthy, snuggly, and already so loved.

"Our new best friend, the light in our world, Vassilios, joined the party at 8:03pm on October 15th, 2025. We, the parents, were blessed to have both of our moms and our doula Jennifer by our sides during the whole experience. Everything turned out wonderfully." Thank you to first time parents for sharing your special arrival with us! It was our honor to be by your side. Jennifer + The Mindful Birth Doulas

"I’m the type of person that likes to feel prepared before going into a new situation. Pregnancy and giving birth wasn’t something I ever thought I wanted to do, but when I met the love of my life, my feelings changed. So when I found out I was pregnant I immediately started researching everything possible about giving birth. I had so many of my friends and family who had horror stories when it came to hospital births but instead of letting that scare me, I used it as motivat

Congratulations to first time parents Cassidy and Gino!

With warm gratitude to first-time mom Erin for trusting us with her unique and beautiful birth story—thank you for allowing us, as your doula team, to be part of such a special journey and for sharing it with our community! Before I even got pregnant, I knew I wanted to have a homebirth. I heard about it on social media and started to listen to birth story podcasts. I fell in love with the idea of birthing my baby in the comfort, safety and privacy of my own home. My husband
