A productive and enjoyable weekend refining our birth emergency skills. Baby Silas was exhausted after helping deliver twins.

Nine births in 14 days! It has been a truly remarkable fortnight of babies, postpartums, checkups, and coffee. Each day feels blessed, enabling me to provide essential care to these families. Even demanding days are incredibly satisfying.

Hey friends!! I have a huge favor to ask..

I have a class coming up one week from today. And I've got a few attendees.... but I'd love to get a few more!!

I went 10ish days without a phone or computer (I was not on call..obviously I would never do that if I had expecting clients) but that did put a damper on promoting or communicating about the class.

The favor is -- a quick share.. whether that's to your story or your profile or to a loved one with a baby on the way... I would truly appreciate your support in this way!!

Thanks in advance for supporting my small business, my passion, my family, and the families that you share with!! 🤗🤗🤗 We are so grateful for you!!

🌞 Electrolytes & Pregnancy: A Summer Essential 🌿

Pregnancy already places extra demands on your body — and summer heat adds even more! Staying hydrated isn’t just about water. Your body also needs electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to keep muscles (including your uterus!) working well, support healthy blood volume, and prevent things like dizziness, leg cramps, and even preterm contractions.

✨ Try:
• Coconut water
• Mineral-rich electrolyte powders (check for pregnancy-safe ingredients)
• Herbal teas with a pinch of sea salt & honey
• Snacking on watermelon, cucumber, and leafy greens

Hydration = Energy. Balance. Strength.
Listen to your body, sip often, and add those minerals back in 💧

DUE DATES

Did you know that doctors still calculate expected date of delivery using a method formulated at the start of the 19th century. The method is known as Naegele’s rule; You take the first day of a expectant persons last menstrual period, add a year, subtract three months, and add seven days. How confusing is that! Naegele’s rule is based on the assumption that the birth person has a 28-day menstrual cycle, with ovulation on day 14, but cycles range anywhere between 21 and 35 days. These issues might help explain why Naegele’s rule isn’t very accurate and, therefore, why due dates aren’t, either. Babies simply do not care about due dates, and turn up when they feel like it and when they are perfectly ripe: the motivation for being born is something that, as yet, scientists cannot fully explain. Some babies will be ‘early’, some ‘on time’ and some ‘late’, in fact, only about 4% of babies arrive on their actual due date, and research has shown that the length of pregnancy can vary by up to five weeks. So, like in Uganda, instead of having a due date, have a due month🌿✨
