You need a handful of things that will keep you hydrated, grounded, comfortable, and able to focus on labour. As a doula, I have been in more hospital rooms than I can count. I see the same pattern every time. The people who pack light move easier, feel calmer and stay present. The people who overpack spend half their time digging through bags. Let’s simplify this for you! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/ee582ffa-de77-4c8c-a0a6-37887dfedb94/cfe1b42871d09ccb6b9892104843620f.jpg Blog - Hospital Bag Checklist: What You Actually Need (and what can stay home) For the person giving birth Comfort + clothing Hairbrush and elastic or scrunchy Cozy socks and slip on shoes (grip socks are nice if you like to walk during labour, but you can also just wear socks and sandals too) A comfortable labour gown if you do not want the hospital one. Look for the soft ones with snaps or buttons down the back and front or shoulders. Loose clothing for after birth. Think: high waisted, comfortable, soft. Hydration Large water bottle with a straw You will not want to tip a bottle up between contractions. Trust me. Electrolytes. Labour is a marathon. Hydration matters. Snacks Protein bars, applesauce pouches, honey sticks, gummy candy or dates Choose things that are easy to eat between contractions. Toiletries Lip balm Toothbrush and toothpaste Face wipes or face wash Deodorant Mint gum or Tic Tacs (I do not know why, but breath gets stale during labour. Mint also helps nausea.) Coconut oil A doula favourite. Can be used on the perineum before pushing. Works like magic on your newborn’s bum to keep meconium from sticking. Phone charger with a long cord Outlets are always in the most inconvenient places. https://www.laurenhaledoula.ca/blog/common-pre-labour-signs-what-they-mean-and-what-to-do monthly 0.5 2025-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/1762816911081-O0JSAVOK1SVVPZK5NYWC/unsplash-image-u5IBeoNC9CA.jpg Blog - Common Pre Labour Signs: What They Mean and What to Do Every body moves toward labour a little differently. Some people have clear signs for days or weeks. Others notice nothing until contractions start. None of these are indicators of exactly when labour will begin. They are simply hints that your body is preparing. Here are the most common signs and what they mean. https://www.laurenhaledoula.ca/blog/liquid-gold-your-complete-guide-to-colostrum monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/7c4e1888-432a-4484-8784-dc82e2883a65/7c0f111c18d529c30dcca2957a11e1a7.jpg Blog - Liquid Gold: Your Complete Guide to Colostrum - Fun fact: Colostrum is so concentrated and sticky that many pumps can’t remove it.

It’s normal to feel ready to meet your baby (or to just want your body back) and to wonder what might help things along. As a doula, I don’t tell you what to do. I help you understand what’s out there, what the research actually says, and how to talk it through with your care provider. Some “natural” ideas have a bit of evidence. Some are more stories and tradition. Most sit somewhere in between. Below is a clear overview of the most common approaches. My hope is that you feel informed without feeling pressured, and that you can choose what fits your body and your birth. https://www.laurenhaledoula.ca/blog/birth-plan-myths-what-you-cant-plan-for-and-why-thats-okay monthly 0.5 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/4315264a-8358-405c-bad1-f7728af00772/unsplash-image-EXW_dw-buoU.jpg Blog - Birth Plans Are Not Tests: Why I Focus On Preferences, Not Perfection - Why I Focus On Preferences, Not Perfection Birth is not an exam. There is no “right” way to do it, and you cannot fail. A birth plan is not a contract you make with your body, the hospital or the universe. It is a conversation tool. A way to explore your preferences, understand your options and communicate what matters to you. I do not create rigid, step by step birth plans with my clients. Instead, we explore preferences, possibilities and informed choices. Birth unfolds. And you deserve to feel supported through every pivot. https://www.laurenhaledoula.ca/blog/is-a-vbac-right-for-you-a-calgary-based-doulas-guide monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/1761360380683-B43O9UELPB8WXT6Z1XDD/unsplash-image-9LO1MBSUZLA.jpg Blog - VBAC in Calgary: What you need to know to make an informed choice - What is a VBAC? (and what does it mean in Alberta?) A VBAC is a Vaginal Birth After Cesarean. You may also see the term TOLAC (Trial of Labour After Cesarean) to describe planning and attempting a VBAC. In Alberta, VBAC is considered a safe option in many situations when certain criteria are met and appropriate medical support is available. Research and Alberta Health guidance indicate that: Many people who have had one previous Cesarean are candidates for VBAC. The most common requirement is having a low-transverse uterine incision (the standard incision used today). VBAC should take place in a hospital with the ability to perform an urgent repeat Cesarean if needed. In Calgary, care providers use a standardized VBAC/TOLAC checklist that includes considerations such as: type of previous incision, no history of uterine rupture, labour occurring in a hospital setting, IV access, and appropriate fetal monitoring. For families in Calgary, this means VBAC can be a realistic option when you are under the care of a midwife or obstetrician who supports TOLAC, and you are planning to give birth at a hospital that meets the required safety criteria. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/cfdd01cf-e7b9-46ec-ba5f-e9b2ba399f82/unsplash-image-i8ZgD6YmzyM.jpg Blog - VBAC in Calgary: What you need to know to make an informed choice - My role as your VBAC-doula in Calgary As your doula, my support focuses on preparation, comfort, and emotional well-being. I do not provide medical advice or make clinical decisions, but I help you feel informed and supported throughout the process. Here is what that looks like: Decision support: I help you sort through information about VBAC and repeat Cesarean using evidence-based resources and reflective questions so you can feel confident in your discussions with your care provider. Birth preparation: We work on strategies such as movement, positioning, and labour coping techniques. I also help you practice communication tools to use with your midwife or obstetrician. Continuous labour support: During labour, I provide hands-on comfort measures and emotional support for you and your partner. My focus is on helping you stay calm and grounded while you work toward your VBAC goals. Post-birth processing: Whether you have a VBAC or a repeat Cesarean, I support you in processing the experience and transitioning into postpartum with clarity and confidence. You make the decisions. Your care team manages the medical side. I am there to support you through the entire experience. https://www.laurenhaledoula.ca/blog/formula-vs-breastmilk monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/1759553855765-ZSDDMT9LJF61OQ4HPRK4/unsplash-image-y1j60Ifj5-M.jpg Blog - Formula vs. Breastmilk - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/8dc8bf24-3864-41e0-b406-f0fb20cbc727/kendamil-stage-2-bio-nature-hmo-800g-milk-formula-600x600.webp Blog - Formula vs. Breastmilk - My go to formula recommendation: Kendamil If you explore formula, many Calgary families love Kendamil. It is made in the UK using whole milk and avoids palm oil and soy. It mixes smoothly and is often gentler on digestion. You can find it at Costco or online. Note: Consult your pediatrician if your baby has known allergies or reflux concerns. Some babies need hydrolyzed or specialized formulas. https://www.laurenhaledoula.ca/blog/preparing-for-breastfeeding monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/61c7c1a1-a283-47fd-bde0-19d1f59b2966/18685fae00db9f8d0f2cfa5096b0d38f.jpg Blog - Breastfeeding: The Things No One Tells You - A practical, honest guide for Calgary parents Breastfeeding is natural, but learning it is a skill. You are learning. Baby is learning. No one expects you to magically know what you’re doing.

The messy, practical stuff.” So here it is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/fd02432f-5c37-402a-be76-25c26ae41d98/2247646960119bf9453973a709dce2eb.jpg Blog - Breastfeeding: The Things No One Tells You - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/c8fd5f9c-5fc1-44fa-8c89-63d02c73cda7/ffd817c6f0ea15b0191bf1fc9b62e4c0.jpg Blog - Breastfeeding: The Things No One Tells You - Calgary Support (use it early) AHS Lactation Clinics Book before you leave the hospital, or call Health Link (811) Private IBCLC home visits Ideal if latch is painful, baby is losing weight, or you want hands-on help Doula Support I help with latch, positioning, pumping schedules and feeding troubleshooting www.laurenhaledoula.ca https://www.laurenhaledoula.ca/blog/pain-relief-during-labour monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/61e0808e-c683-4729-aa59-3f6b8357fcd6/bf996c65e29742eb6feb9ab8664fc21e.jpg Blog - Pain Relief During Labour Labour is intense. Not because something is wrong, but because something powerful is happening. The pain of labour is purposeful pain. Your body is opening, shifting, and moving your baby down. You do not have to “push through” that alone. Pain relief exists, natural options, medical options, and everything in between. This guide walks you through what actually works, how to use each technique, and when in labour it’s most effective. https://www.laurenhaledoula.ca/blog/midwives-vs-doulas-in-calgary monthly 0.5 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/bb5c784b-c8e3-4e52-af3a-bca848dc7f3e/9ee3c80a51a78e3b24b5fd9d7106b6fc.jpg Blog - Midwives vs Doulas in Calgary When you start planning your birth, you’ll hear a lot about midwives and doulas. They’re both part of the support system, but they play very different roles. Midwives are your medical care providers. Doulas are your continuous emotional, informational, and physical support. When the two work together, it creates a really grounded and supportive experience. In my work as a doula, I’ve seen how powerful that teamwork can be. You get clinical care from someone you trust, plus steady support from someone whose only focus is you and your experience. It’s a really beautiful balance. This guide will walk you through what each role actually does, how they complement each other, and what your options are here in Alberta. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/76b270f0-0cd5-44e0-85da-57e85fdda057/unsplash-image-Jf5WbV0uVpg.jpg Blog - Midwives vs Doulas in Calgary - What Does a Midwife Do in Calgary? Midwives are licensed healthcare providers in Alberta. They’re trained to care for you throughout pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. Think of them as your primary medical team during this season. Here’s what they take care of: Prenatal care: They monitor your health and your baby’s health with regular appointments. They can order ultrasounds and blood work, check baby’s heart rate and growth, and answer all your medical questions. Birth: Midwives are the ones who catch the baby. They lead the birth whether you choose home, a birth center, or a hospital. If something unexpected comes up, they are trained to handle complications or consult with an OB when needed. Postpartum care: Midwives continue caring for you and your baby for about six weeks after birth. This often includes home visits, newborn assessments, feeding support, and checking in on your recovery. In Alberta, midwifery care is covered by the province, so there is no out-of-pocket cost if you get accepted into care. The only catch is availability. Spots fill quickly and only a small percentage of families who apply get in, so the sooner you apply, the better. (Ideally as soon as you find out you’re pregnant). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/f29c7041-6520-4d9b-bee9-8311797ab6c9/138cbc26d595090604e7d1c7561282ef.jpg Blog - Midwives vs Doulas in Calgary - What Does a Doula Do in Calgary? Doulas are not medical providers. We do not monitor vitals or make clinical decisions. Our role is to support you emotionally, physically, and mentally through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Here is what that support looks like in real life: Emotional support: We talk through fears, help you feel grounded, and make sure you feel seen and heard during labour, birth and postpartum. Physical comfort: I offer hands-on tools such as massage, counter pressure, position changes, and other strategies to help you stay present and cope with contractions. I am right there with you through each wave. Advocacy and guidance: I help you understand your options and encourage clear communication with your care team. Your voice matters, and I support you in using it with confidence. Doulas are privately hired, and I offer flexible support that can be tailored to what your family needs, whether in person or virtual. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/1759547239284-50TYCE2Y9SV4ZHTOF0Z7/unsplash-image--G2iJF_aUws.jpg Blog - Midwives vs Doulas in Calgary - 1. Find a Midwife: Reach out to Alberta Health Services–funded midwifery clinics or use the Alberta Association of Midwives directory to submit an intake form. Midwifery care fills quickly, so it’s best to apply as soon as you have a confirmed positive pregnancy test. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6887d377ce8ebd0f3cd74578/03dcbf93-f4ea-4379-8276-110e3c71890a/ff13585dbd465fce56d4c94733daeb98.jpg Blog - Midwives vs Doulas in Calgary - 2.
