when a friend or family member has had a baby, what are some ways that you can support them?

• check ins are awesome (and by check ins I mean a text, not dropping by unexpectedly)

• if they are comfortable with it, pick up their groceries or lend a helping hand around the house

• if they feel like sharing, listen to their birth story 💛

• uncontrollable shakes •

during labour and after some people experience the shakes, but have no fear these are completely normal. The shakes are caused by changes in your hormones.

If you experience the shakes during labour this can often mean that baby is close!

Here are some things you can do when you have the shakes:

✨stick out your tongue and breath deeply

✨get some blankets on and stay warm

✨stay hydrated, drink lots of fluids

• a p g a r s c o r e •

after a baby is born an assessment called the Apgar Score is given to determine a baby’s health

Each category is giving a score between 0-2. The five categories are added up to a score out of 10.

Here are the categories:

ACTIVITY: how is baby’s muscle tone? Are they wiggling and active?

PULSE: how is baby’s heart rate?

GRIMACE: is baby crying or coughing? What is their responsiveness

APPEARANCE: baby’s skin colour, is it pale or blue?

RESPIRATORY: how well they are breathing

• partners •

the birth of your little one is a big day for you too! Here are some things to pack for you, on that special day:

- extra clothes (for overnight stays)

- snacks (in order to help your loved one, you too have to be energized)

- water bottle (make sure you are staying hydrated!)

- pillow/blanket (depending on the birthing space you are in, some may only have a chair for you to sit on, so bring some comfy things from home)

- mints/gum/toothbrush (strong smells can really impact the birthing person and can be nauseating, so if you have just had a coffee, pop a mint or brush your teeth quickly before continuing to support)

got any questions? Let me know!
