Birth Circles: Supportive

Groups for Pregnancy

Birth Circles

With Sara Vidal

You're invited to a nurturing 4-part circle series, lovingly guided by doula Sara Vidal, designed to support you through your transformational journey of birth and postpartum.

Each session weaves together story-sharing, grounding practices, and heart-centered professional guidance, creating a space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered — just as you are.

In-Person Birth Circle Series with Sara Vidal

What to Expect:

Each 2-hour session blends grounding practices, story-sharing, and heart-centered professional guidance. Whether you're preparing for your first birth or returning to your center in a subsequent journey, this circle welcomes you exactly as you are. For your comfort, bring an exercise ball (to sit/spiral on), yoga mat, cushion, pillow, and/or blanket to be able to sit in relaxation. Expect 4 to 6 mamas to be alongside you in addition to your Mama Bear Doula, Sara.

Session 1

Birth Dreaming:

Create a Flexible Vision for your Birth.

In this session, we create space to explore your deepest hopes, feelings, and desires for your birth experience. Through guided reflection and visualization, you’ll begin to shape a clear vision of the kind of birth you want—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. This is a time for setting intentions, tuning in to your values, and beginning the process of conscious preparation for the exciting journey ahead.

Session 2

Comfort Measures for Birth: Mental and Physical Strategies.

You’ll be introduced to hands-on techniques and supportive practices to bring comfort and calm during labor. From breathwork and positioning to massage and nervous system regulation, this session is all about equipping you (and your support team) with tangible tools. You'll also learn how to listen to your body’s cues and respond with gentleness, resilience, and confidence.

Session 3

Honoring Your Voice & Intuition in Birth and Postpartum.

This session invites you to reconnect with your intuitive wisdom — the voice within that knows what you need and when. Through mindfulness, discussion, and body-centered practices, you’ll learn to recognize and honor your instincts. We’ll explore the power of self-trust and how cultivating this inner guidance can support you not only in birth, but in every step of motherhood.

Session 4

Postpartum Dreaming: Getting Nourished and Supported.

During this final session, we turn our attention toward the tender and transformative time after birth. You’ll be guided to envision what kind of postpartum support and healing you want, from rest and nourishment to emotional care. Together, we’ll explore how to plan for being held — by your community, your partner, and yourself — as you cross the threshold into a new chapter of your journey.

This week has been full of emotion—joy, grief, gratitude, and reflection.

I helped welcome a new life into the world… and not long after, I said goodbye to a dear little girl who left us far too soon.

The contrast has been humbling and sacred.
It’s reminded me just how fragile, beautiful, and miraculous life truly is.

As a doula, I have the honor of standing at the threshold of new beginnings. And in moments like these, I don’t take a single breath for granted.

This is more than a calling—it’s a way of honoring life, from the very first breath to the last.

Hold your people close. Celebrate life while it’s here.
Because every heartbeat matters.

🕊️💛

🎒 What’s in my doula bag?
It’s not just about tools — it’s about creating comfort, calm, and confidence in the birth space.

From the peanut ball to the TENS unit, from affirmations to massage oil — every item is chosen with intention.

But at the end of the day, the most powerful support I bring isn’t in my bag — it’s my hands, my head, and my heart. 💛

Our team gathered this week to handcraft fresh batches of NORA tea and herbal sitz baths—two of our favorite ways to support healing and nourishment in both the prenatal and postpartum season. 🌿

✨ NORA tea is a mineral-rich blend of Nettle, Oatstraw, Raspberry Leaf, and Alfalfa—known for supporting energy, iron levels, milk supply, and overall wellness in pregnancy and postpartum. It’s gentle, nourishing, and made to support your body through deep replenishment.

🛁 Our herbal sitz bath blend includes chamomile, calendula, lavender, comfrey, and more—each chosen to soothe soreness, reduce inflammation, and promote gentle healing after birth.

While the kids played nearby, we blended each bag with intention, care, and the same love we bring to every mama we serve. This is what community-rooted care looks like. 💛

If you’re preparing for postpartum or building your recovery kit, these products are handcrafted to support your body, naturally.

“Your baby is too big.”
It’s a phrase too many women hear during pregnancy—and it’s often based on guesswork, not evidence.

📊 1 in 3 women are told their baby is “too big”
📉 But only 1 in 10 babies are actually born large

I recently supported a mama who was told she needed a c-section because her baby was estimated to be too big.
➡️ No ECV was offered for her breech baby
➡️ When baby flipped on her own, they still pushed for a c-section
➡️ She chose to be induced instead
➡️ After 3 days, she gave birth vaginally to a perfectly healthy 8 lb 1 oz baby 💪🏼

✨ Here’s the truth: Your baby is the perfect size for your body. Our bodies are wise, and when given time, support, and respect—we birth in powerful ways.

This story isn’t about avoiding c-sections at all costs. It’s about informed choice. It’s about not being pressured into surgery based on fear or flawed predictions.

Mamas: You have the right to pause, ask questions, and choose the path that feels right for YOU. Your body and your baby deserve to be trusted.

🤝 Partner support during labor is powerful.
From steady hands and soothing words to simply being present—partners help shape a birth space filled with love, safety, and strength.

At Mama Bear Doula Care, we support both the birthing mother and their partner—because birth is a shared journey. When partners feel prepared and empowered, they become a grounding force in the room. 💛

Together, we create a birth space where everyone feels supported, seen, and strong.

People always ask, “How do you do it all?!”
Spoiler alert: I don’t. 😂
I’ve got a husband who deserves his own superhero cape.
He supports me, keeps me sane, makes sure I eat, and reminds me to breathe on the wild days.
He’s the reason I can show up fully as a doula, a mama, and a business owner.

Today I packed up my pump — maybe for the last time — and my heart is full of all the feels.
⁣
This marks the end of a chapter I never could have fully prepared for: my pumping journey.
Thousands of hours.
Thousands of ounces.
So many quiet (and not-so-quiet) moments spent tethered to a machine while life carried on around me.
⁣
This journey stretched me — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. What once felt like it would last forever turned out to be just a season. A hard, beautiful, giving, exhausting, powerful season.
⁣
I pumped through fatigue. I pumped through joy. I pumped through tears. I pumped not just for my own little one, but also in honor of the many babies who needed donor milk — and for the parents who hoped someone, somewhere, might help lighten their load.
⁣
I never imagined how deeply milk donation would shape me. Each ounce came with love, with sacrifice, and with a deep respect for the bodies that feed, nurture, and give.
⁣
If you’re in the thick of it — middle-of-the-night pumps, washing parts on repeat, navigating supply stress, or riding the emotional rollercoaster — I see you. This work matters. Your devotion matters.
⁣
And to those who are closing this chapter too: there is no “right” way to feel. There is grief and relief. Pride and letting go. It’s okay to feel all of it.
⁣
Here’s to honoring every season of motherhood. Even the ones that end with packing up a pump and whispering thank you.

🕯️✨ Your Birth Space Matters ✨🕯️
At Mama Bear Doula Care, we believe that how you give birth is just as important as where. A calming birth space can make all the difference.

🌿 Why a calm space?
✔️ Reduces stress + fear
✔️ Encourages natural oxytocin
✔️ Supports relaxation + focus
✔️ Helps labor progress more smoothly
✔️ Empowers YOU to feel safe, strong, and in control

Whether you’re birthing at home, in a hospital, or a birth center — your space can reflect peace, comfort, and YOU.

💡Think: dim lights, soft music, essential oils, affirmations, and supportive people.

You deserve to feel held, heard, and honored.

💛 Ready to create your ideal birth space? Let’s talk.

Just your average day as a mom of 3… juggling babies, business, and coffee 🍼☕️💼

From sleepy baby walks to snack missions, client coffee dates, cookie pickup, bunny sightings, and postpartum visits — we did a lot before bedtime.
Yes, I’m tired. No, I wouldn’t trade it.
(Okay maybe the gas prices. I’d definitely trade those.)

✨ My Body Is Designed for This Miraculous Journey of Birth ✨

This past week, I had the incredible honor of witnessing three beautiful births. Three powerful women stepping into their strength. Three sacred moments where life entered the world—and I was reminded again:
The power of a mother is truly remarkable.

Mama, your body is not broken.
It is powerful.
It is wise.
It was perfectly created for this journey.

Every breath, every surge, every stretch—it all carries the ancient rhythm of birth. You were made for this.

At Mama Bear Doula Care, we honor the deep wisdom within you.
We would be honored to journey with you, to walk beside you, support you, and help you tap into the strength that’s already yours.

You’ve got this. And you don’t have to walk it alone. 🐻💛

Trust the process. Trust your body. Trust yourself.

🕯✨ Creating calm, one candle at a time. ✨🕯

We’re thrilled to be partnering with @candles_withdrlauren to bring more mindfulness into motherhood.
Today, we picked up our first wholesale order at the Sykesville Farmers Market — thank you, Lauren! 💛

Because every mama deserves a moment of peace.

📝 Creating Your Birth Plan? Here’s What to Include! 🐻✨
At Mama Bear Doula Care, we believe every woman deserves to feel informed, empowered, and supported. A birth plan helps communicate your preferences with your care team—and while flexibility is key, knowing your options makes all the difference.

Here are some important things to consider:

💆‍♀️ Pain Management Techniques
Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth or open to medical pain relief, include your preferences like:
– Breathing techniques
– Hydrotherapy or shower
– Massage or counter pressure
– TENS unit
– Epidural or IV medications

⚕️ Medical Interventions & Procedures
Think through how you feel about:
– Induction or augmentation
– Continuous vs. intermittent monitoring
– Episiotomy vs. natural tearing
– Assisted delivery (vacuum/forceps)
– Cesarean birth preferences

🫶 Support System
Who do you want present? Partner, doula (hi! 👋), friend, family?
Also consider:
– Photos/video
– Quiet environment or music
– Dim lights or aromatherapy

👶 Post-Birth Wishes
Let your team know your preferences for:
– Immediate skin-to-skin
– Delayed cord clamping
– Breastfeeding or formula
– Newborn care (eye ointment, vitamin K, bathing, etc.)

💖 Aftercare for You
Recovery matters. Consider including:
– Postpartum pain relief
– Help with the first latch
– Privacy during recovery
– Emotional check-ins
– Who you’d like to visit (and when)

🌼 Personal Requests
This is your unique experience. Add anything meaningful to you, such as:
– Cultural or religious preferences
– Music playlists
– Affirmations or calming visuals

📣 Your birth plan is a tool for communication, not a set-in-stone script. It helps your care team support you—mind, body, and heart.

Want help building a birth plan that feels right for YOU? Let’s do it together 💕

Your body is wise and it knows how to birth.
⁣
Last night, I witnessed this truth firsthand. A strong mother, grounded in trust and determination, breathed her baby down with such grace. No panic. No rush. Just presence.⁣
⁣
She surrendered to each wave, fully in tune with her body’s rhythm. She was safe, she was supported — and most of all, she believed in her body’s design.⁣
⁣
What unfolded was calm, powerful, instinctive birth. A reminder that when we trust the process, when we create space for safety and surrender, the body leads.
⁣
Birth doesn’t need to be rescued. Sometimes, it simply needs to be respected. 💫🕊️ #MamaBearDoulaCare #CarrollCountyDoula #MarylandBirth #builttobirth

Every month, we roll up our sleeves and prep batches of Mama Bear Lactation Cookies — lovingly made for all the amazing clients we have due that month.

These cookies are packed with nourishing ingredients like oats, flaxseed, and brewer’s yeast to support milk supply during those early postpartum weeks… and yes, they freeze beautifully for when baby makes their debut. ❄️

We believe care doesn’t stop at birth — it continues in the small, sweet moments of support (like a warm cookie at 3AM 💛).

If you’re one of our mamas due soon… your cookies are coming. We’ve got you. 🐻

🤍 How Can a Doula Help You? 🤍
A doula is more than just a support person — they’re your calm, your strength, and your steady guide before, during, and after birth. Here’s how a doula can support you:

✨ Emotional Support – Helping you feel calm, confident, and heard throughout pregnancy and birth.
👐 Physical Support – From massage and counter-pressure to breathing techniques, your doula helps make labor more manageable.
📚 Informational Support – Explaining your options, birth plan guidance, and evidence-based info to help you make empowered choices.
🤝 Advocacy – Doulas help ensure your voice is heard in the birth space, whatever that looks like for you.
🏡 Postpartum Help – Some doulas support you at home too, helping with newborn care, feeding, and emotional recovery.

Birth is transformative — and you deserve someone in your corner. 💛

Birth isn’t just a physical event. It’s a transformation.
It’s the moment a woman steps into a whole new version of herself—with courage, vulnerability, and power.

✨ You are strong.

✨ Just had a baby? Here’s why postpartum nutrition matters more than ever! 👶🍲

🌿 Top benefits of eating well postpartum:
✔️ Speeds healing + tissue repair
✔️ Boosts energy + reduces fatigue
✔️ Supports breastfeeding + milk supply
✔️ Balances mood + lowers risk of PPD
✔️ Aids digestion + eases constipation
✔️ Keeps hormones (and YOU) happy

🍼 Fill your plate with:
🥚 Protein
🥑 Healthy fats
🥬 Leafy greens
🍓 Antioxidants
💧 Hydration is key!

Your body just did something amazing—fuel it with what it needs to recover. 💪💕

Welcoming a new baby is a big transition—not just for parents, but for siblings too. 💕 At Mama Bear Doula Care, we know that helping older siblings adjust is just as important as preparing for birth. Here are some gentle ways to foster connection and ease:

👶 Encourage Interaction
Let siblings explore their new role. Invite them to touch baby’s toes, sing a lullaby, or pick a special blanket. Simple acts build big bonds. 💞

👐 Foster Involvement
Give them “helper” jobs like fetching a diaper or choosing baby’s outfit. Feeling included helps reduce jealousy and grow confidence.

🗣️ Share Expectations
Talk about what babies can and can’t do, and what changes to expect at home. Honest, age-appropriate conversations go a long way.

✨ Bonus tip: Let your older child know their feelings are valid—whether it’s love, curiosity, or frustration. You’re all learning together. 💗

🧡 International Homebirth Day 🧡

I’ll never forget the moment I brought my baby into the world at home — surrounded by peace, love, and unwavering support. That day didn’t just bring life into my arms — it completely changed the trajectory of my own.

My homebirth was redeeming — a healing, powerful experience that showed me what birth could be. I felt empowered in a way I never had before. And in that moment, I knew: I wanted other women to feel this, too.

That’s how Mama Bear Doula Care was born. Rooted in strength, compassion, and belief in the power of women, our mission is to walk alongside you, so you feel informed, held, and capable — no matter where or how you choose to birth.

To every woman choosing homebirth, to every doula, midwife, and support person — today we honor you. There is something sacred about birthing where you feel safe and seen. You are strong. You are wise. Your body was created for this.

🌿 Your birth space matters. 🌿

As a doula, I’ve seen firsthand how the environment can shape the entire birth experience. It’s not just about where you give birth—it’s about how you feel in that space.

✨ A calm, safe, and supportive environment helps your body do what it’s naturally designed to do.
✨ Dim lighting, soothing sounds, familiar smells, and loving support can make a world of difference.
✨ Your nervous system needs to feel safe for labor to progress—because birth isn’t just physical, it’s deeply emotional and primal.

Whether you’re birthing at home, in a hospital, or a birth center, you deserve a space that honors your power.

Your birth. Your body. Your baby. 💫
Let’s create a space that supports your strength, your choices, and your peace. 💛

Here’s why more families are choosing doula support during the perinatal period:

🤰 Prenatal Care – Emotional grounding, birth education, and help with birth planning. Your doula is your steady hand and listening ear.

🧘 Labor & Birth – Physical comfort, continuous encouragement, and advocacy when it matters most. You’re never alone.

👶 Postpartum Support – Compassionate guidance with infant care, emotional transitions, and healing. A doula’s care continues long after birth.

Mama Bear Doula Care had the incredible opportunity to attend the Baltimore Birth Festival — and what made it even more special was that it was our first-ever public appearance!
We were honored to be surrounded by so many amazing vendors, birth professionals, and families. Connecting with expectant parents, sharing about the support we offer, and witnessing the excitement and anticipation of new beginnings truly filled our hearts.
This weekend reaffirmed our mission: to be a trusted source of comfort, empowerment, and care during one of the most transformative times in a family’s life. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, said hello, and made us feel so welcomed. We’re just getting started — and we’re so grateful to walk this journey with all of you.

Doula work is so much more than just a profession — it’s a calling.

Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum isn’t just about holding space or offering comfort (though that’s a part of it). It’s about ministering to hearts in one of life’s most tender and transformative seasons.

To witness strength rise in the middle of uncertainty…
To be a steady hand when the world feels overwhelming…
To remind families that they are not alone — that is my why.

This work is sacred. And I’m honored every time I’m invited in. *Photo shared with permission*

✨ Hi, I’m Hannah Wright ✨
🧸Owner of Mama Bear Doula Care 🧸

I’m a birth and postpartum doula, and am passionate about walking alongside families with holistic, evidence-based, and compassionate support.

My path to doula work was born from the transformative power of my own birth experiences — a journey that awakened a deep calling to support, empower, and uplift parents during one of life’s most sacred seasons.

I truly believe that no parent should have to walk this journey alone. Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, I’m here to nurture, empower, and hold space for you. 💛

I’m honored to serve families in Carroll County, Maryland and the surrounding regions 🗺️
