There are so many choices and options during pregnancy and birth. Do I have an OB or Midwife? Do I have a home birth or a hospital birth? Vaginal delivery or c-section? Repeat c-section or VBAC? Epidural or no? Cervical checks or not?

Mama, you have the right to choose what is best for your family. You have the right to change providers if you feel like your needs or choices are not being heard. Hiring a doula can also help provide you with extra support and education during your pregnancy and birth experience.

I always call it a due month. You can conceive early or late too so due dates arent accurate.

👇🏽Fasting in labor is NOT evidence based.

Most of us need nourishment, use our energy stores, and require replenishment during labor. There are entirely too many women starving through labor in hospitals, scared to break "policy" or ask for more than the ice chips given to them!

Unless you have a planned cesarean, EAT.

BREAST HOLDS🤱🏻🤱🏾⁣

Have you noticed that you hold your breast in different positions ? ⁣

Bet you didn't even realise the benefits of each hold ? Right ? 👉🏻⁣

Let's take a closer look 👀 ⁣


💥 C HOLD⁣

Curve your hand into a C shape and hold it at the side of your breast. Your thumb should be at the top of your breast and your fingers underneath. Don’t press down on your breast. The idea is to simply provide support.⁣

💥 U - Cup ⁣

Cup your hand underneath the breast in a U shape.⁣
Your thumb should be on the outer side of the breast and your fingers on the inner side.Remember to keep your fingers far back enough to give baby enough breast tissue to latch on.⁣

💥 SANDWICH⁣

This breastfeeding technique was developed by lactation consultant Barbara Heiser. The idea is to reduce the breast, so its easier for baby to take into their mouth. Slightly pull the breast tissue back toward your rib cage. This pressure is pushing the ni**le out slightly, making it easier for your baby to grasp.Idon’t recommend this position for support. It won’t give you the same flexibility as the C or the U hold.⁣

💥 V HOLD⁣

The V hold is a great hand position to use if you have a fast let-down reflex. The pressure on your breast tissue slows your milk flow. You can use it at the start of a feed to prevent your milk causing your baby to cough and splutter. With a normal let down, you don’t want to slow or block your milk flow. That’s why I don’t recommend this hold unless you have a fast let down.⁣

Which one do you use?⁣

I am personally a C - Hold kinda girl, my breasts are big & I like the support it offers ❤️❤️⁣
