Such a good reminder!

THE MOTHER-BABY DYAD🤱🏽

For the first 1-2 years after birth, the Mother-Child still mostly operate as one unit.

The health of the Mother IS the health of the baby.

Thriving babies do not exist without thriving Mothers.

So caring for yourself as a Mother and allowing (or demanding) others to care for you, is far from selfish.

It is essential for the wellbeing of your family.

The fact that newborn care does not focus more heavily on postpartum care for the Mother demonstrates a profound oversight of the importance of the Mother-Baby Dyad and NEEDs to change.

I'm here to help you recovery better and thrive after birth so that your entire family thrives. Set up a free discovery call to learn more. Link in bio!

Yes. Midwives rock!

Through her venture firm Metrodora, Ms. Clinton has invested in midwife-care startup Oula. Services shown to improve women’s health often haven’t received the investment they merit, she said.

What a cool idea to support new parents!

Like meal train, but for more than just meals and as flexible as your life. Set it up before or after a child comes home - for yourself, your partner, or a friend! We're dedicated to helping parents ask for the help they need during the special & turbulent days with a new child.

Dr Sam is such a great resource for moving through postpartum with better health and ease. Check her out!

Neuroplasticity in pregnancy and postpartum is no joke.

Your brain rewires your "me" to "we"

Your brain upgrades in IQ, EQ, facial/pattern recognition, smell and taste, social reasoning and more.

Your nervous system up levels in empathy and sensitivity.

Your HPA (hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal) axis changes to become more sensitive to oxytocin, and less sensitive to cortisol - meaning your stress response might be drastically different than what it was before. What was once a survival, fight or flight instinct, becomes a protective, sacrificial instinct.

Some interesting studies show that a neurologist can tell if people have had a full term pregnancy by the appearance of the brain on a fMRI scan- thats how significantly it changes.

So if it feels like you are different person and
🔥 you're overwhelmed by sensory input
🔥your reactions and thought patterns are all of a sudden novel
🔥your previous conditioning or coping skills feel like they've flown out the window
🔥your are far more sensitive to the emotions and needs of others
🔥 your brain feels like it is operating fundamentally differently

It's because all of this is true on a neural pathway / biochemical level!!

Offer yourself some compassion, knowing you really are a different person🌹

Interesting - maybe this contributes to what pregnant women crave to eat?

4D ultrasound scans show that unborn babies respond to flavors from foods eaten by their mothers as well as to smells.

This is so true! Trillium Naturopathic is an awesome gift to give yourself after your birth.

The Mother/ birthing parent is the center of the families universe.

Without her/them, the baby cannot thrive, the family cannot grow.

Postpartum healing and wellness should be prioritized above all.

How are you planning for your postpartum sanctuary?
