MyMaine Birth is a  space where we share the real life stories of families and their unique birth experiences in the beautiful state of Maine.  From our state’s biggest hospitals to Birth Center Births, and home births, every birth story deserves to be heard and celebrated.  From the first feelings of pregnancy to the first cry of your newborn, we explore the journey of child birth in all of its beauty, intensity, and emotion. Whether you are a soon to be mom, a seasoned mother, or simply interested in the world of birth, these episodes are for you.  

As part of my commitment to capturing these incredible moments, I am proud to offer my birth photography services to families throughout Maine.  As an experienced doula and  photographer I am dedicated to capturing the beauty and emotion of this special moment in your life.  And I create a personalized and intimate photo album that you will treasure forever.  For all of the information head over to mymainephoto.com and fill out the contact form to schedule a call with me!

Another resource mentioned in this episode is the BeHerVillage baby registry for support not stuff.  Head over to https://www.behervillage.com/partners/mymainebirth to learn more about creating your free registry that helps parents access funds to pay for doulas, lactation support, maternity leave, pelvic floor care, midwifery care, birth photography, and other types of support that is often not covered by insurance and out of reach for so many people. 

So just like you'd ask your family to contribute to a fancy stroller, you ask them to contribute to your pregnancy, birth and postpartum support.  Pretty cool, right?
