🤎Share with another mama friend🤎

Every baby is unique, with their own distinct personality, temperament, and developmental pace. What works for one baby may not work for another, and that's what makes parenting so fascinating. While books and experts can provide valuable guidance, it's essential to remember that they're just that - guidance. The most important thing is to tune in to your baby's individual needs and respond accordingly.

Relying too heavily on books or rigid parenting philosophies can lead to frustration and disappointment. Every baby is different, and what works for one family may not work for another. By paying attention to your baby's cues, you'll begin to understand their unique rhythms, preferences, and communication style. This intuitive approach to parenting allows you to respond in a way that's tailored to your baby's specific needs, rather than trying to fit them into a predetermined mold.

Trust your instincts and trust your baby. They'll tell you what they need, if you're willing to listen. By going with the baby, rather than the book, you'll cultivate a deeper understanding of your child's individuality and develop a more empathetic, responsive parenting style. This approach may not always be easy, but it's incredibly rewarding. So, ditch the rigid rules and expectations, and instead, embark on a journey of discovery and connection with your unique, one-of-a-kind baby.

Your water breaking usually isn't this big dramatic event like its shown on TV, where you have a big gush and have to try to make it to the hospital in time. Did you know your water breaking before your in labour is actually very uncommon. Most womens water will only break when their already in labour, or baby is about to be born!

When you get in touch with your provider they will most likely ask you these questions. So using the T.A.C.O acronym is a great tool to remember what to take note of.

🕗TIME: take note of what time your water broke. Most providers like you to deliver within a certain timeframe once your water has been broken.
💦AMOUNT: was it a gush or just a trickle? The amount of fluid can depend on baby's position.
🎨COLOR: does it have a slight color to it? Or a clear more cloudy looking? If it's clear or slightly pink tinged, that's great! But if it's green or brown, baby may have their first p**p (meconium) in utero.  Your provider may want to keep a closer eye on baby's lungs after their born.
👃ODOR: does it smell like urine, or is it odorless? This is a good way to determine if it's actually your water or just urine. If it doesn't smell like anything it's most likely amniotic fluid and if it has a urine smell, well that's urine then.

Your water breaking may mean a few more hours/days of labour or baby's about to make its way out. Either way, it's a good sign that things are happening and your so close to meeting your bundle of joy🥰

‼️Seek help ASAP if you notice:
•less fetal movement
•blood loss
•a fever
•your preterm (before 37 weeks)
•you feel like somethings off (always trust your intuition) ‼️

Happy Mother's Day!

I'm think of all the mamas out there this weekend, whether you have baby's earthside, in heaven or longing to become a mama one day.

I hope you feel loved and appreciated today and always. To the world you may feel like just another person/mom, but to your baby's, you are the world.💜

If this is a hard time for you, just know I'm sending hugs your way and I pray you have someone to confide in during this time. It's ok to feel hurt and sad, and know your not alone in this time🤍

Be kind to yourself!

If you need someone to talk to, I'm right here listening❤️

"NO" is a complete sentence!!

Sometimes the reason behind an induction just doesn't quite add up!

✨ #1. If there's holidays or weekend coming up and your being pushed for an induction, it could be because your care provider just wants those days off
✨ #2. Just because your a first time mama doesn't mean your body won't go in to labour on its own. When baby and mama is ready, labour will start. Whether your at 38 weeks or 42 weeks!
✨ #3. Your due date is an 'estimated' due date. 40 weeks is not a deadline for your pregnancy
✨ #4. Just like ultrasounds give you an estimated due date they, can give you an estimated weight/size of baby. Many mamas deliver a healthy 6lb baby whne the ultrasound told them they'd have a 9 pounder. Or the ultrasound can tell you your having a 6 pounder, but when baby's born it's 10lbs, so you can never really know until baby's here.
✨ #5. When a Dr tells you, 'your body won't go into labour on its own' at 40 weeks, just because your a first time mama, or you've not dilated, that simply just means your body's not ready!

Follow for part two on why you SHOULD go ahead and book that ultrasound.
