How the Seasons Impact Humans and Our Births

Some people will think the “energy talk” is too woo-woo, but there’s no denying that energy plays a role in our lives. The planets are held in place and rotating by energy, the tides are impacted by the energetic pull on the earth, and patterns of human behavior have been linked to seasons or specific times of year. Equinox’s are part of the seasons and they indicate midway points. There is a Spring Equinox and Fall Equinox. The equinoxes are said to be days of perfect balance. It’s like Mother Nature has built in days of rest and balance for us.

Since little research exist, we can look at what the seasonal impacts are on humans. We see the impacts of the changing seasons in the Mental Health sphere with things like Seasonal Affective Disorder and some studies show that suicide rates can be linked to the seasons. We see the change in energy affect humans like full moons making children act wild and many small businesses report seasonal times of huge growth that almost feels magnetic. We also can see the energetic shift when hurricanes, strong thunderstorms, and snowstorms hit. This causes a spike in births!

Since there’s not much research out there about this topic, we rely on parents sharing their personal experiences. Hundreds of moms have shared their experiences with baby born in different seasons and having drastically different personalities and temperaments. It makes sense from an energetic standpoint. Babies born in the fall are welcomed into the world in a warm, cozy, hibernating period. Babies born in the spring are born into a “rebirthing” period of hustle and bustle. While Spring is a happy time, it is often overstimulating to small babies because the energy is so high. Some cultures consider babies born on an equinox super good luck.

Personally, in my practice, I see spikes in February/March with conception being when the weather begins to warm up, May/June with conception coordinating with the onset of Fall, and then again in August/September with the conception being during the winter holidays. Coincidentally, the “off-seasons are my times of biggest growth!

"Welcome to the Tranquility Tribe"

And then she said, "Don't Push."

Why You May Not Need to Push So Hard During Birth I was recently explaining to a lady on an airplane about Fetal Ejection Reflex (also known as FER). She had asked me what the most fascinating thing about being a doula is and I told her "being able to watch the human body at work." It truly is fascinating to watch everything play out from head to toe, headspace to physical environment to partner support and the undeniable influence of a broken medical system; it's all just fascinating (and sometimes frustrating). This conversation led to us talking about the fascinating things that the body can do that most people don't know. The problem with this is that out of all of the people who don't know about FER, so many of them will be directly impact (birthing parent) by this lack of understanding & knowledge. To add salt to the wound, many more will be impacted in a secondary type of way (non-birthing parent) so i...

Do Inductions Really Rise Around the Holidays?

Do Inductions Really Rise Around the Holidays? As long as I can remember in my doula career, I have been told, both seriously and sarcastically, that inductions rise around the holidays because doctors want to control the births they will have to deliver on..let’s say Thanksgiving day or Christmas Day. I have to be honest in that I never really paid much attention to it because our team typically takes off the end of the year! It has been an intentional decision in years past to not take births in the months of December and January. This provided us with the time to disconnect, visit family and friends, and wrap up one year + dive into the next with a solid foundation. As you well know, 2020 has changed so much of what we knew and, for us, this meant not having the space to disconnect without leaving birthing people vulnerable in a global crisis and not traveling for this holidays. With this, we decided to work straight through 2020 into the start of 2021. And in this moment, the ...

A Survival Guide: Holidays After a Loss

(HeHe's article is published for Birch Baby HERE in its entirety.) The holiday season can be hard for those who have experienced a loss this year. At a time of year that people are expected to automatically be happy and be cheery and bright-eyed, it can be painful to have to pretend to be enjoying yourself while you are dying inside. One mother described it as “a dark place of heartbreak and anger.” Through my work with Mothers’ who have experienced loss (or any kind of trauma), I have found that having a structure of mindsets to help you survive in high-stress situations is helpful. I was considering a survival guide for the holidays for expectant parents who have experienced loss, but then I thought why not just a general survival guide to help when you are coping with loss, no matter what time of year it is. Know your limits (It’s people's’ job to respect that boundary). You have the right to pick and choose which events you attend and which events wi...

Changes influence human behavior, mood, and even birth patterns. It highlights scientific insights into how weather conditions and daylight hours affect pregnancy and labor. Understanding these natural influences can be crucial for various fields, including healthcare and wellness. Interestingly, such research methodologies could also be applied to other disciplines, like analyzing trends in law assignment service demand across different times of the year. This connection underscores how environmental factors shape multiple aspects of human life.
