Dad's suffer from postpartum depression too! We need to support our dads too💜

We know how mothers can be affected, but what happens to fathers before and after childbirth is not so well recognized.

If there's one thing I learnt from Dr Sarah Buckley today, it's that a crazy kinda magic happens when we let our bodies and our babies decide when the time is right to birth.

The term “co-sleeping” has always seemed strange to me. It implies parents are doing something special or out-of-the-ordinary by doing what mammals have always done for millions of years – sleep with their babies. “Are you going to co-sleep?” people asked when I was pregnant. “What kind of co-sleepe...

A really good read. So brave of her to share her story. So many women go throu this and don't even recognize it. If you think you may have postpartum depression reach out to your midwives, doctors or even talk to your doula and she can help find the right resources that can help. Don't stay silent as you are not alone and you are a wonderful mom who deserves to be taken care of too! Xoxo

A proud mama from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania sent me her birth story this morning and I couldn't not share... a heart warming miracle, born in the car at 29.5 weeks. How amazing is life 🙌🏻
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ This is her story ♥️ The human body is truly an amazing thing. On the 5th of August 2017 at about 10am I started having contractions. I was only 29 weeks and 4 days so I just figured they were Braxton hicks and decided to wait it out. After about 45 minutes of consistent contractions that were increasing in intensity I decided I should probably go in. I there in some clothes. Grabbed my daughter some clothes, her my fiance And I left for the hospital. I dropped my daughter to her God mommy Nicole And headed to the hospital. Well the contractions continued to get closer together and more intense and before I knew it I knew it was time to push. I called 911 because I was so scared. They couldn't understand me between the screams with contractions. So I handed the phone to my fiance. I pulled my pants off and reached down, sure enough his head was right there. I pushed one time and my miracle baby was here. When I looked down I realized he was still completely wrapped in the amniotic sac. The dispatcher told us to pull over. But I knew we would make it to the hospital before they would make it to us. So I told Ean to keep driving. I was so scared. My Fiance was so calm driving and on the phone with 911. At first the baby was still and all I could do was pray he would be okay. And then I rubbed his face with my thumb and he pulled his little hands and feet up to his face as if he understood my prayers and wanted to reassure us he was okay. About 7 minutes passed that I held this miracle baby in my hands until we made it to the hospital. A familiar face came running out and grabbed my baby. He was born an caul. This happens 1 in every 80,000 births. Usually during c-section. He was 3lb 1oz. He doing wonderful all things considered all He went through I know he's going to be an awesome little man! ❤ he is truly a miracle​ baby. We are so blessed to be his parents 🙏🏻
