Stanton sonographer Jo is out and about peeking at babies today! Please pray for her ministry, that the heartbeats of our tiniest clients touch their mothers’ hearts. #FindHopeBeWell #StantonRevolution

" See that tiny pink bead on the lanyard? That is the size of a newborn's tiny tummy. When baby is born, the birthing parent produces colostrum for baby, which... is the perfect super food for baby. Colostrum contains just the amount of food baby needs and passes antibodies. It's liquid gold! In this photo, I have a standard 2 ounce bottle of formula that is given to new babies. So, if baby's belly is only the size of a marble, what happens when baby is fed 2 ounces? Well, baby will usually spit up all the extra, which then can be spinned into baby having reflux. When really, baby is just being over fed. This leads to interventions like formula changes, antacid medications, etc. It's important that we give families all the available information so they can make the best decisions for their families." #newbornbaby #infant #newbornfeed #stomachsize #breastfeeding #colostrum #informedbirth #informedpostpartum #doula #doulasupport Post credit: Gentle Seed Doulas

An Important Note From Danielle Versluys: The letter linked below was written in early March, before we felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please read it in full, with that knowledge. It is uncertain why God has led us to this place at this time, but it is clearer than ever that pregnant women (already among the most vulnerable) need the best support possible during this current crisis, and our team is heartbroken to be unable to provide critical physical, emotional ...and spiritual care through the Mobile. While it isn’t possible logistically/financially for the Stanton Mobile to maintain regular hours, we are urgently reaching out and supporting those life-affirming pregnancy clinics which remain open - as do most of Planned Parenthood’s abortion centers. Abortion-vulnerable women still need our help - YOUR help. Unless you are presented with financial challenges during the COVID-19 crisis, please continue supporting pregnancy medical clinics with with your finances. Bills must be paid, and life-saving clinics must remain open! Stanton International's flagship clinic in Meridian, Idaho, is busier than ever - Planned Parenthood across the parking lot continues to do business, so Stanton Meridian will stay open! Please pray for the flagship team - they are working with a significantly tightened budget and skeleton staff. We at Stanton SoCal will continue to work in faith toward a day later this year when the Mobile reopens and is once again impacting women for life, one life at a time. Thank you for your continued support and prayers! May God bless you and your families.

Stanton is serving alongside Rose of Sharon pregnancy center in Victorville while the mobile is getting repaired! One mom wanted to share the joy with us all found out she's having a BOY! Keep an eye out for the little guys' thumbs-up!

Stanton mobile team not only provided a young homeless mother with an ultrasound which surprised everyone by revealing twins, but also provided the mother assurance and peace that she was not in this journey alone . Watch this amazing video of the two little hearts beating

Yesterday, the Stanton Mobile served SIXTEEN clients in front of the Planned Parenthood in Victorville. Our sonographer was kept busy for hours, doing her best to give every mama a paparazzi shot of their little ones in action. Several of our clients were sure abortion was the only option, until they saw the tiny fingers and toes or heard a strong heartbeat. These women, vulnerable to the lies of Planned Parenthood, decided to choose life and walk away from the abortion pill... after their eye-opening visit to Stanton. A number of the women who visited the Mobile yesterday were life-minded, and they were delighted from the first moment they learned of their pregnancy. These mamas were blessed to see their babies on the ultrasound screen, and they are telling their friends! Stanton is a life-affirming presence like no other in the High Desert, and every client is a precious individual to our clinic team. No matter her story, no matter her situation, the Stanton Mobile team serves each woman with kindness and compassion. Do you believe Stanton SoCal should keep doing this amazing work? Should we continue to serve dozens of clients each week, offering hope and speaking life to women in crisis every time we open our doors? We currently are operating in the red. One 6-8 hour shift costs the ministry several hundred dollars in gas, insurance, and other costs. We do not have enough monthly income to sustain our current operating hours, and we need $3,000 more per month to stay open. If you can commit to one year of monthly support to Stanton, if you can commit to one year of bringing hope to the High Desert, please donate at the secure website below. All donations are tax-deductible, and we need your help! Thank you! https://www.myegiving.com/App/Giving/stantonsocal #FindHopeBeWell #StantonRevolution

Visiting a new location today! Since our ultrasound technician is a student at #CalBaptist, we brought the Mobile to Riverside so she could serve between classes. There is a #PlannedParenthood in Riverside which performs first and second trimester abortions, so that’s where the #StantonRevolution is parked! Please pray for our team, and pray that God brings new staff to help us open up more days in the High Desert. #FindHopeBeWell
