💪 Yes! Your pelvic floor is doing a LOT of work—and it benefits from regular attention.

🧠 Strengthening and relaxing the pelvic floor can help with bladder control, labor, and postpartum healing.

🛠️ Tool: Try 5 slow Kegels daily—inhale to relax, exhale and gently lift. Don’t forget to release completely after each.

💡 Visualization helps: imagine picking up a blueberry with your vaginal muscles… and letting it go.

👣 Baby movement may change as you get closer to birth—but it should NOT stop.

📈 Baby’s space gets tighter, so you might feel more rolls and stretches than big kicks. But consistent movement is still a good sign.

🛠️ Tip: Do a kick count—lie down, drink something cold, and count 10 movements in 2 hours.

💡 If something feels off, always check in with your provider.

💬 How do you usually track your baby’s movements?

🛏️ After 20 weeks, lying flat on your back for long periods might reduce blood flow to baby.

📉 The weight of the uterus can press on major blood vessels, making you feel dizzy or lightheaded.

🛠️ Tool: Try sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees and behind your back for support.

💡 Tip: If you wake up on your back—don’t panic. Just roll to your side. Your body will often wake you up when it needs to move.

🍽️ True—but it’s not about eating for two. It’s about eating with intention.

🧠 Your body needs extra calories to support the placenta, amniotic fluid, and your own energy levels. But the quality matters more than the quantity.

🛠️ Focus on: complex carbs, healthy fats, leafy greens, and iron-rich foods. Keep snacks nearby—your metabolism is working overtime!

💡 Step-by-step: Aim for 3 balanced meals and 2 nutrient-rich snacks per day. Hydrate often!

💬 What’s your go-to pregnancy snack that hits the spot?

🌬 Yes, it can. Your breath is a direct channel to your nervous system—and your baby’s experience in the womb.

When you breathe mindfully, your heart rate slows, stress hormones decrease, and oxytocin increases—helping baby feel safe and supported.

🛠️ Try this tool: Place one hand on your belly, inhale for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat 5 times.

💡 Bonus tip: Use this breath anytime you feel overwhelmed. It’s small, but powerful.

💬 What time of day would help you pause and breathe more intentionally?

🌙 That nightly belly tightness? It’s probably Braxton Hicks.

🤰 These ‘practice contractions’ help tone your uterus and prep your body—but hydration and rest help too.

✅ Tips:
- Drink water throughout the day
- Shift positions or stretch gently
- Take note of any patterns (if painful, talk to your provider)

💬 When did you first notice Braxton Hicks? Let’s compare notes!

🧠 Stress doesn’t just affect you—it shapes your baby’s brain development.

💡 Research shows high cortisol levels during pregnancy can impact emotional regulation in your baby later in life.

🛠️ Tools:
- Short mindfulness sessions (even 5 min helps)
- Gentle movement like walking or prenatal yoga
- Talking to a friend or journaling your worries

💬 What’s one thing that helps you de-stress?

🌬️ Yes—your breath is your birth superpower.

📉 Deep, slow breathing signals safety to your brain, reducing cortisol and helping your cervix soften.

🧘‍♀️ Try this:
- Inhale 4, exhale 6 (practice daily)
- Visualize each breath opening space in your body
- Use during surges to stay grounded

⏰ Waking up before your baby? Your nervous system is on alert.

👶 This hypervigilance is normal postpartum. It’s part of your built-in protective wiring.

🔧 Try this:
- Use a weighted blanket to support deeper rest
- Keep the room cool and dark
- Practice a 3-minute body scan before bed

💬 Have you found anything that helps you sleep better? Let’s share ideas!

📣 Did you know the uterus can expand over 500 times its original size? 😲

💬 It goes from the size of a pear… to holding an entire human!
The female body is pure biological brilliance—and this transformation is just one example of its incredible power.✨

👉 Drop a “💪” if you’re amazed by what the body can do.
Tag someone who needs to be reminded of their strength. 💗

💭 Feeling anxious even with a smooth pregnancy? You're not alone.

🧠 Pregnancy changes your brain’s chemistry, heightening sensitivity and emotional depth. It’s not about being ungrateful—it’s biology.

🛠️ Tips:
- Practice grounding techniques (name 5 things you see, 4 you feel…)
- Limit doomscrolling and choose uplifting inputs
- Share how you feel with someone you trust

Some days you’ll feel strong. Some days you’ll cry over toast. Both are valid.

Your uterus may shrink in weeks, but your identity, hormones, sleep rhythms, and emotional capacity? That healing takes longer—and deserves support.

✨ Tips for navigating the spiral:
– Gentle movement (even stretching counts)
– Nourishing meals (yes, frozen counts)
– Talking to someone. Let it out.
– Lowering the bar—rest is productive.
