What's Inside My Doula Bag

[@katieiberg738]

Your doula bag looks amazing! I'm a doula myself-- and I live off of coffee as well. Best thing I've ever put in my doula bag? VIA instant packs from starbucks. All you need is hot water... and you have yourself a cup of coffee. It's a HUGE space saver for my bag so I'm not lugging around cans and weighing my body down while assisting my client into the labour room :)

[@emmablotter9188]

I so wish I had chosen a different Doula. She was asking me (while in active labor), if I had things you keep in your bag. I'm on my own journey of becoming a birth doula and found this very informative! Thank you for taking the time to share and educate our community. Much LOVE!

[@KristinaGonzalez]

I'm thinking of adding doula services to my massage business..love this video! Such great items!

[@bismillahrabbani9006]

Kristina, me too!

[@graceelisabethwilliams9022]

Me three!

[@BloomingJoy]

Did you ever?

[@SoBellyDance911]

Hi! I’m a new birth doula here in kitsap county WA as well! ❤️ Thanks so much for the video!

[@Wuthde]

Rubber and, hair clips, and tweezers are also a great addition to the bag

[@flinthillfibers8991]

Loved this video! As a newer doula it is definitely fun to learn from the experienced. One thing I have is re usable heat packs. Some hospitals don't allow microwave use for warming things and they are so handy to snap the little disk inside and have immediate heat. They last maybe 30-60 min and Then I boil them to re set them later.

[@briannconn]

Really live this video, I'm a new dula working in certification... and also pregnant! I will be copying this bag for sure! Thanks so much!!

[@JUMPSUITFAIRY]

Omg, the second you pulled out those candles. I was just ... oh my gosh, now here's a real pro. Hahaha absolutely can't wait to see what the hell is in that bag!!

[@jacquelynduncan1038]

I loved this video, thank you for sharing I am very interested in becoming a doula and watching this just excites me more. Thanks from Michigan

[@theempresstarot374]

[@helischa8998]

You are so sympatic! That's for showing your bag. I'm becoming a Doula soon here in Germany. ☺️

[@zaharahcouture]

Thank you so very much for this video...I am working on becoming a Doula, this is helping me focus and feel more prepared to serve

[@lisemartino2445]

OMG I love you! As a trainee/new doula, you are my new idol! I just want to offer one (most humble) suggestion, did you know that Bach flower remedies do ‘rescue remedy’ pastilles? They may replace your Gatorade pastilles?

[@cutiechicka1]

Thanks for sharing!! :D I also love that you agree that marry poppins was a timelord haha awesome.

[@queenndailylife6085]

Loved the video your an awesome doula 😘💕

[@MissBethea]

Your bag really is bottomless! It is awesome! Thanks for the ideas! #birthinglittlehumans

[@firefighterswife10]

Thank you so much, this is really helpful :-)

[@jenniferpoehlke8676]

Love your videos, you seem so friendly. I'm a birth doula as well, but I love learning from those who have done it longer. Love your doula bag and all your items. Please keep doing videos 💚

[@liztodd2379]

I'm starting my course this spring.thanks so much for your channel. I have now subscribed. Liz Todd. Niagara falls Canada

[@victoriapatton5064]

Love this video, great tips on being there for momma and partner! Since you mentioned not liking packaging you should consider paper straws since plastic ones don't biodegrade!! Plastic silverware could be upgraded too, if you switched to paper or bamboo options. I love your energy in this, so contagious!

[@AngieBeeHotz]

Thats a great idea Victoria!! Thanks for the suggestion. I will get some ordered!

[@TwilightSparkle29]

Victoria Patton great idea but you shouldn’t get rid of plastic entirely, bamboo and paper don’t bend making it harder for the mother to take a drink from them, bamboo breaks and poses a choking hazard, and both paper and bamboo can pose an allergy risk to the mother as well. Just thought I would throw my two cents in here

[@Beyondblessed261]

Wish I had a doula luv the video

[@somalena8835]

Appsolutly love this video! Your inspiring me even more! I want to become a doula. 💓

[@soonsan_com]

sooooo helpful. Thank you very much!

[@n.mn.m1990]

Amazing video , thank you .

[@bipolartorecovery1485]

What do you do for births for moms that are autistic and/or have sensory problems? Have you ever used things like chewy jems during births? I'm on the fence about whether or not to get pregnant/have birth children because of both my mental issues and some physical (although not making pregnancy dangerous like a low back injury) issues making the process very daunting. What advice would you give to person with medical issues that got the green light to be pregnant from the doctor but scared/unsure about the additional challenges they might face? (Currently not pregnant or partnered, just posing a what if and in my mid 30s, knowing time now can be a factor)

[@angelinaderpina6210]

We’re you able to find answers to your questions or any decisions about family planning since this comment a year ago? Since every birth is as unique as the woman and the baby she is having...I suppose it depends on the doula and their compatibility with the family that would determine what tools or techniques were used. This is a fascinating question and I imagine there are some agencies that specialize in such considerations.

[@FeonaLeeJones]

omg...so helpful! thank you for sharing!

[@Brightbear_mom584]

What are those cheat sheets you were talking about? I need to print some out and laminate them. The only cheat sheet I have is The Take Charge Routine small flash cards of labor and birthing positions.

[@AngieBeeHotz]

Mandi Baladez I have the spinning babies and miles circuit cheat sheets in my bag!

[@1ltguitar]

Hi from Cowlitz County!

[@nikisawyers7559]

thoroughly enjoyed this! I'm on the hunt for nuun, wisps and bearglove now..... HA

[@homeschoolhive]

What bag is that? I like your actual bag!

[@wendymathews1030]

Brittany Miller She said in an earlier comment that she got it at Target! 😊

[@hannataylor2254]

When in labour is pulling back behind knees and chin to chest mandatory while pushing or is their different positions to be in when pushing

[@juliadoerflein5384]

Hanna Taylor all 4s is a great way to push! Talk to your midwife or obgyn about the different options you have!

[@makingbabytaylor]

I didn’t know you had a channel too! You just popped up in my suggested videos all of a sudden 😊

[@drzenkobilas7770]

Hi, may I ask have you heard of Aniball, Epi-no Delphine Plus birth facilitating devices? Thank you your reply.

[@carlenepaulsen4017]

I love this ..I need a bigger bag😂

[@theresheglowsshortie]

Wondering about your autoimmune disorder and how it impacts your doula practice. I've been looking into becoming a doula but have fibromyalgia and concerned about the long hours during births. Any other suggestions to be successful? I love your doula bag! Looking forward to creating my own. I have a grandbaby arriving in November and my daughter would enjoy the tennis ball massage.

[@AngieBeeHotz]

Toni Baker I am very purposeful with rest between births. I also supplement and take adaptagens for stress relief.

[@jaieatsplants]

I use Ashwagandha; what adaptogens do you use?

[@lilianadelgado3925]

"Like total dooky" 🤣

[@samdazzleco.9128]

Is the electrolytes for Mom or you? What would we ask before we give it to mom if it is for her??

[@AngieBeeHotz]

Both! It's important to stay hydrated in order to have a regular contraction pattern. In active labor it's a good idea to sip on an electrolyte drink or alternate water and electrolyte drink after every other contraction. If the mom wants the kind that I bring with me then I offer it to

[@yeseniacarr9635]

You are awesome! I'm really considering looking into a birth doula now.

[@AngieBeeHotz]

Yesenia Salinas wonderful! You won't regret it!

[@janb.7686]
