Not every storm is followed by a rainbow. But those rainbows that do appear after the darkest storms, the storms we aren’t sure we’ll survive, those rainbows are something extra special.

A baby that comes after loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, etc) is known as a 🌈 Rainbow Baby 🌈.

We’ve been a part of welcoming many rainbows after dark storms. Those are memories we hold extra close. ♥️

Braxton Hicks are practice contractions and can sometimes be mistaken for real contractions.

BH are irregular and less intense and go away. BH usually start in your second and third trimester. Some things that can contribute to Braxton Hicks stsrting are being dehydrated, very active, having p*e, having s*x or lifting something heavy.

But how do I make them go away?
Take a walk if you’ve been sitting for a long time, lie down and rest, drink water, eat a snack, empty your bladder, take a bath.

I made it a year of nursing.

I’m sad but also a little happy to be done. This was my first kid I nursed for a full year. And it’ll be my last since we are no longer having anymore kids.

I’m very proud of our nursing journey. ❤️

Providing support during labor can be an overwhelming experience.

It can be challenging to see someone you care about so much go through something as intense and powerful as birth.

This is one reason that childbirth education (CBE) is so important!

We want non-birthing people to have a toolbox available for them to try, to prevent (extra) stress in the birthing space and any feelings of confusion or overwhelm in support people.

Movement, water, snacks, and ocytocin are our favorites! What did you want from you partner during labor?
