Less hurry. More presence.
Less pressure. More connection.

Black Friday has a way of kicking off the season with stress, urgency, and a whole lot of ā€œgo, go, go.ā€
But for moms and parents, this time of year already holds enough mental load on its own.

So here’s your gentle reminder:
You don’t have to rush.
You don’t have to chase every sale.
You don’t have to do it all to make the holidays magical.

Your family needs you—calm, grounded, and present—not the perfectly checked-off to-do list.

This season, we’re choosing slower moments, softer expectations, and deeper connection.
Because the magic isn’t in the chaos… it’s in the togetherness. šŸ’›āœØ

Placenta 101: here are six fascinating placenta variations your provider might mention and what they actually mean:

1. Bipartite Placenta
A placenta made of two equal-sized lobes instead of one. They’re connected by membranes, and the cord typically attaches to just one lobe. Most pregnancies are uncomplicated, but providers pay attention at delivery to ensure both lobes separate cleanly.

2. Circummarginate Placenta
A mild variation where the membranes attach slightly inward from the edge, creating a smooth ā€œraisedā€ border. It usually carries little to no increased risk and is often just an incidental ultrasound finding.

3. Battledore Placenta (Marginal Cord Insertion)
The umbilical cord inserts right at the edge of the placenta instead of the center—kind of like a paddle. Most pregnancies with battledore placentas are healthy, but it’s often monitored because it can sometimes affect blood flow.

4. Velamentous Cord Insertion
Here, the cord attaches to the membranes instead of the placenta itself, leaving fetal vessels unprotected. It’s rare, but providers monitor it closely because it can be associated with vasa previa or growth concerns. Early detection = safer planning.

5. Succenturiate Lobe
A small ā€œaccessoryā€ lobe separate from the main placenta. Most pregnancies are unaffected, but it’s important at delivery since these smaller lobes can occasionally stay behind and increase the risk of postpartum bleeding or infection.

6. Circumvallate Placenta
A variation where the placenta’s edges fold upward, creating a thicker, raised rim. Research is mixed, but some studies note higher rates of bleeding, preterm birth, or growth restriction—so providers often follow it a bit more closely.

✨ Normal vs. Not?
Many placenta variations never cause problems at all. What matters most is understanding what your specific placenta looks like and how your provider plans to monitor it.

Newborn Cues Every Parent Should Know

Before babies cry, they communicate — and learning their cues can make the newborn stage feel so much more manageable. And remember: every baby is different. The more time you spend watching your little one, the more you’ll learn their unique signals.

🤲 Hunger: Rooting, sucking motions, clenched fists
Babies show early hunger signs long before they cry. Catching these cues makes feeding smoother and keeps baby calmer.

😓 Tired: Staring off, red eyebrows, less eye contact
When your newborn looks ā€œglazed overā€ or their eyebrows turn pink, they’re ready for sleep. Responding early helps prevent overtired fussiness.

šŸ”„ Overstimulated: Turning away, avoiding eye contact
Too much noise or activity can overwhelm a newborn. Looking away is their way of saying they need a little reset.

šŸŒ¬ļø Gassy or Discomfort: Arching back, squirming
This often points to gas, reflux, or general tummy discomfort. Burping or repositioning can help bring relief.

Learning these cues doesn’t happen overnight, but with time you’ll become the expert on your baby. Save this for later and share with a new parent who needs the reminder. šŸ¤
