💙 This week in birth care at Lifecycle:

One year since Zo made her dramatic entrance into the world. I’m especially emotional and grateful today about my support folks.

She was born at the Birth Center @lifecyclewomancare and then took an ambulance ride accompanied by daddy @mike_telly to the NICU across the street.

Then I had to be escorted by mommy @yoadrienneeeee and @elizabeth.weinstein to be admitted myself.

I was scared but my people were so confident and calm I was able to stay grounded. One of my midwives told me—the people who are supposed to be at your delivery will be and she couldn’t have been more right ❤️

-Simara

Thank you @simisimicocopuff for allowing us to share your words and your story. It is so important to share moments of bravery and resilience in birth, especially when things do not go as expected. We are over the MOON for you and Zoë. 💜💜Happy Birthday to this beautiful human!!!

Last weekend we had the absolute JOY of speaking to the local Girl Scouts troop in Narberth, PA about empowerment in puberty! Our amazing midwife, Lori, and programs director, Nikki, spoke to troop members about various topics from period products to how hormones fluctuate in each phase of the cycle.

Education and community engagement are a BIG part of why we love what we do here at Lifecycle. If you're part of a community organization or local group who would like to hear from members of our staff about our services and care, please DM us or feel free to reach out to Nikki Graham, Director of Programs & Community Engagement at ngraham@lifecyclewomancare.org!

Today marks 30 YEARS our dear Patty Siegrist, RN,

Today marks 30 YEARS our dear Patty Siegrist, RN, IBCLC has been with us here at Lifecycle and The Birth Center! THREE WHOLE DECADES!

Patty began her TBC/LWC career in 1993 in the ORIGINAL building as an RN, eventually becoming one of our nurse managers.

In 1996, Patty became an IBCLC and started our lactation program which included one-on-one lactation consultations, a prenatal lactation class, and offsite lactation support groups in three different locations: West Philly, Phoenixville, and Rosemont. Patty ran Lifecycle's lactation program completely on her own for decades!

Patty, your contributions to this organization are numerous, and we are so very grateful for all you have done and continue to do to make this place so incredibly special!

Happy 30 years! We love you so! 💜

It's #worlddoulaweek! We LOVE doulas at Lifecycle. Your doula is always welcome at your birth, whether it be there at our Birth Center or the hospital. ⁣
⁣
Doulas are trained to provide physical, emotional, and informational support to a laboring person and their support team. Decades of research indicate that continuous labor support from a doula results in improved labor outcomes such as lower c-section rates and a more positive birth experience for the laboring person! (@acnmmidwives)⁣

Did you have a doula at your birth? Let us know about your experience in the comments!

It's official! 🎉🥳 We're a @midatlanticmilkbank (MAMMB) donor milk dispensary! ⁣
⁣
Did you know Lifecycle is now a dispensary ~in addition~ to a depot? ⁣
⁣
🍼 As a MAMMB depot, we store and ship milk from local MAMMB-approved donors making milk donation more accessible and convenient for local donors.⁣
⁣
🍼 As a MAMMB dispensary, we are able to support families who have an immediate need for a limited amount of frozen, pasteurized human donor milk (also called “bridge milk”) to carry them through to the next step of their feeding plan developed in tandem with an IBCLC. 👉We would be remiss not to mention anyone purchasing and utilizing pasteurized human milk should have professional lactation support in place!👈⁣
⁣
Instructions for how to order milk from a dispensary can be found here or at our link in bio! midatlanticmilkbank.org/in-your-neighborhood

Happy Friday, stay strong pumping warriors 💪

#Reposting a lovely story from @midatlanticmilkbank! We partner with @midatlanticmilkbank to distribute donated human milk to infants and families in need.

・・・

Full circle. Read about a family who both received and donated milk. This is an experience that we hear often. Usually, donor milk is a short term support in the NICU until a mother can provide all of the milk that their baby needs. A special shout out to @lifecyclewomancare
