It’s a taboo topic, but it should be discussed more- disappointment over your baby’s sex. Feelings you weren’t expecting to have, and sometimes pressure from others, pop up during or after your baby’s sex is revealed. It can really throw you for a loop if you are not prepared- so let’s dive in!

I don’t typically write about my clients’ births. The stories, timelines, emotions- all of it- belong to them. Not me.

Over the years, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned as a doula is that the person living a birth, physically and emotionally, may experience it very differently from someone witnessing it from the outside. I never want to shape how you feel about your birth or suggest how you should feel. Those emotions are sacred, and they are entirely yours. If you ask me questions, I will always answer honestly, but gently, and with deep respect for your experience.
