At first I must confess I was upset when I’ve found out during pregnancy I had a boy (and with these feelings “mama guilt” and shame hit me- hello 👋 )
Can you relate?

and now…

I feel so happy, so blessed, so in love 🥰I’ve never imagined it would be that magical having a baby boy! 🩵👶

The way he looks at me, right at my eyes, is pure love.So unconditional, and so deep like if he could see my soul through my eyes.

🌪But along with this love (sometimes even overwhelming) comes deep vulnerability, and fear. The fear of loosing him, of seeing him suffer or hurt, of not being the mom he needs, of making irreparable mistakes, is ever-present.

🌈Yet, it’s in these moments of vulnerability where I find myself sinking deeper into my heart to find my strength, my peace, and my purpose. I see these moments of vulnerability and fear as an opportunity to learn, heal, and evolve.

Every time he looks, smiles, cries, or rest at me, I’m reminded of the incredible gift of motherhood, how healing it can be, and the profound positive impact of this little soul in my life. 🥹

👇🏽Tell me fellow mama of a boy, how is it for you?

🌟 9 Months In, 9 Months Out 🌟

Today, we celebrate 9 months with my baby boy outside my body 🥳

For 41+weeks, I carried him beneath my heart, feeling every movement, dreaming of the day we’d meet. A connection that only we shared. What a gift that was! 🙏🏼

Now, for the past 9 months, I’ve watched him grow outside my body. I’ve held him in my arms, soothed his cries, played, and celebrated his milestones. Each day has brought new joys—his first smile, his giggles, crawling, sitting, standing, eating, the way his eyes light up when he sees me…The bond we share has deepened.

And with these joys have come new challenges too. The sleepless nights, the endless diaper changes, the overwhelming moments of clinginess, the heartbreaking days and months of seeing him suffer from CMPA, and the moments of doubt have tested my strength, my beliefs, and patience.

Inside, I carried him with dreams and hopes. Outside, I carry him with pride and endless love. Both journeys, in and out, have shaped me in ways I never imagined. Watching him grow and explore the world with curiosity and bravery has been the greatest joy of my life. His curiosity, his laughter, and even the challenges have taught me more about love, patience, surrender, trust, and strength than I ever imagined.

To my precious boy, thank you for these transformative months. Here’s to many more months and years of growing, learning, evolving, and loving together. 💙👶

**Our birth story 5/5

The desire to push was real despite the Epidural. (It was a good thing that I could control the dosage with a remote control.)

I was laying down on my side with froggie legs. That felt the most comfortable at that moment to finally give birth.

Unfortunately, J breathing wasn’t doing it for me (probably due to the Epidural). The baby started to get stressed. His heart rate increased, my waters turned green...we knew things had to speed up.

Oxyticin via IV was flowing through my veins and the Midwife had to interfere coaching me through “purple pushing” for a stronger push. (Oh my! 🫣 Really wanted to avoid that but due to the circumstances, I felt I needed to surrender and trust her guidance.)

Things were getting trickier...“Lorena, it’s almost done. This time you need to push really hard. Don’t fear or think about what will happen down there. Your body has this!” -my Midwife said. I look at her and close my eyes, gathered all my strenght, connected with my baby, and... I strongly PUSHED!

2:48pm - sweet Elliott was finally born, safe and sound with 52cm long and 3,8kg 👏 We both were healthy. No tearing nor episiotomy despite Epidural 💃 (could have been the birth posture and the birth preparation with that made it not happening? Hm, I wonder 🤔)

I cried of relief, happiness and exhaustion. 23hrs in total (no joke🥵)

I held him against my naked chest. I felt the most amazing cocktail blend of emotions. I was high on life 🥰

Giving birth was the most surreal thing I’ve ever experience. So powerful yet so vulnerable, where death and birth meets.

If I COULD, so DO YOU Mama 💪

**Our birth story 4/5

I could not sleep that night either but I could rest. During the night I listened to relaxation track + body scan. I kept breathing and visualising.

20 OCT, 7am- I was finally opening! 🎉 3cm and it kept going (woohoo! Great news!) I cried of happiness. It was finally happening, my body gathered enough energy, and felt relaxed and ready to open up the canal for my baby to descend. 🥹

My partner helped me move and change often the posture, this way I could work with gravity and with my body to expel the baby.

As the time went by, my cervix was opening more and more. Until, suddenly, his head was crowning! 💃

Oh my, that ring of fire 🔥 That was intense despite the Epidural.

**Our birth story 3/5

“I’ve got this.” I said to myself. “Every surge brings my baby closer to me.” (That was my mantra)

The waves got very intense and frequent, quite irregular. They did not follow a pattern, so I had to really tune in to surf them and trust that everything was progressing.

But, unfortunately, it wasn’t progressing. Later that night I took another dose of prostaglandin. The intensity increased but my cervix was only 1cm open...(WTF! 😰) I could not believe it after so many hours in labor (aprox.11h at that time)

I kept breathing slowly and deeply. Kept moving and visualising.

2am - I was exhausted. Hopeless. And overwhelmed by the intensity and the duration of the birth. I felt like giving up, could not do it anymore. I wanted to die...

I asked for an Epidural. They give me a light version of it so I could still move and work with my body. I needed to rest and have a break. The epidural felt like a looooong exhale. Pure heaven at that moment 🫠

**Our birth story 2/5

That night I shared a room with 2 other moms and their babies. My partner could not stay during the night. I didn’t feel safe nor comfortable in that room so my body didn’t feel ready to give birth. I couldn’t sleep (big fail!🥴) but I was trying to relax by listening to hypnobirthing tracks + doing calming breathing exercises.

19 OCT- On the next day at 3pm I was induced with prostaglandin hormones in a pill form. “It’s time. I’m here for and with you. You can do this” -my partner said. I took a deep breath, and swallowed those pills.

I was nervous and afraid of not knowing how my body would react and how intense it would feel...

I dimmed the lights, play the playlist I created for this moment and made a little altar with some stones, a photo of the last ultasound, cards with encouraging messages from my good friends, and Ganesha (no, I’m not hindu but I believe on her power of removing obstacles🙏)

Soon after I felt the waves of labor starting again. I breathed deeply and slowly following their rhythm. I Moved. Changed positions. Had a very short bath (the heat overwhelmed me 😮‍💨).

I hugged my partner. We danced. We kissed...

With each inhale, I imagined my cervix opening, and with each exhale, I deliberately relaxed my whole body.

**Our birth story 1/5

I say ours because E was not the only person being born, a new me was also born after that.

It didn’t start as I wished for...

Neither progressed as I wished for...

(Surpised? Probably not 😅)

(Wish) Natural water birth without any or very little medical intervention nor epidural and using J breathing to bear the baby down VS. (Reality) Natural birth with induction (prostaglandin and oxytocin) + antibiotics + epidural + “purple pushing”.

🔥Giving birth was one of the most incredible yet hardest things I’ve ever done.

What a wild ride! I would say it started with the wrong foot. Totally unexpected and not how I wished to have started.

18 OCT- I went to hospital for a regular check up at 1pm at week 41+ and I never left the hospital pregnant again (last slide).

I was leaking amniotic fluid since a week+ (yes, crazy right? I didn’t know it was possible either), so I had to stay in hospital to avoid risk of infection. I needed to be induced sooner than I thought. On that moment, my inner world crumbled 🫨

That evening following my wishes of avoiding medical interventions if not 100% necessary, they induced me in a more holistic way massaging my uterus, and giving me some raspberry leaf tea. After 1h or so I could feel mild contractions.

Later that night, it stopped...
