Keep showing up, mama. You’re nourishing more than your baby — you’re building strength. 🌸

Shocker: It takes far more energy to grow life than scientists once believed.

A Duke University study found that pregnancy rivals elite endurance events, making it the most energetically demanding activity the human body can sustain, equivalent to running a 40-week marathon.

Another peer-reviewed study published in Science found that pregnancy requires an additional 50,000 calories over nine months, with 96% of that energy coming directly from the mother. A woman’s resting energy use can rise by up to 30%, meaning her body works harder every single day, even at rest.

To put it in perspective, that’s like eating 50 pints of Ben & Jerry’s or sustaining the daily energy output of a Tour de France cyclist.

The energy it takes to grow life makes pregnancy one of the most extreme athletic feats on Earth. 🫶

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Rememberance Month- official day October 15.
In this time, we remember those sweet little faces that we didn't get to see and those hearts that weren't able to continue beating.
We remember someone we didn't get to meet in the flesh but loved deeply all the same.
For those Mamas who didn't get to hold your baby in your arms, hold them in your heart forever.
