Did you know dates are known to be associated with a lower risk of induction, premature rupture of membranes, and shorter and easier labors?

The study shows that eating 3 large medjool dates or 6 smaller a day starting at 36 weeks have the best results.

You can add the dates to your smoothie or try these snicker filled dates that I made!

•Medjool Dates
•Peanut Butter
•Chopped Cashew Nuts
•Melted Dark Chocolate

Cut the dates in half and take out the seed. Fill with peanut butter, sprinkle with chopped nuts and drizzle dark chocolate on top. Store in the fridge or freezer. YUM!

THIS. IS, EVERYTHING!

“They told you about the contractions, but did they tell you about the expansion? Did they tell you how your body would open to make way for the whole universe to pass through? Did they tell you how your heart would explode with a love bigger than anything you’ve ever known as you pulled your baby to your chest?

They told you about the ring of fire but did they tell you about the crown of stars?

Did they mention that there’s a moment when your baby enters the world and you leave your body and touch the heavens and become the light of a million galaxies? Did they tell you how the pain of stretching to receive your child would be more exquisite than any sensation you’ve felt?

They told you would scream but did they tell you about how you would roar? Did they tell you about the power that would rise up from your belly as you called your baby forth with your mighty voice? Did they tell you how you would embody the wild woman within you and breathe fire with your song?

They told you would bleed, but did they tell you how that sacred blood wouldn’t scare you? How you would feel grateful for that magical liquid of life as it trickled down your leg- how you would honor its flow and how it would help you heal a lifetime of hating your body’s bleeding cycles.
They told these stories and taught you to fear birth, to fear your power, to fear yourself. But you’re stronger and wiser than that mama. You know that birth is your divine dance, your soul’s song, your moment with God, and you walk fearlessly into her open arms”.

I was so blessed to support this mama this week. My sisters and I used to play volleyball with her and her sisters back in Wisconsin....such a small world. Watching her through labor was something I’ve never seen before. Her focus and determination was honesty incredible to watch and to be a part of.
I got to her around 7am Wednesday morning after she had been up for hours working through early labor. When 2pm rolled around we were headed to the birth center to see how she was progressing. She was already 9cm!

Baby had a little more work to do by finding his way around in there. With the rebozo, position changes, the birth tub and lots of determination, a 9lb 15oz BEAUTIFUL baby boy arrived into his parents arms around 11:15pm. Birth isn’t about time limits or a baby not fitting. Let go and follow your body.
THANK YOU, for letting me support you through this Lilly! I am SO happy for you guys! Your birth team was amazing!!

🌿It’s not every day you have a midwife that will do this to help turn a breech baby🌿

•So when she does.... you get a record of it🤪

•No where else in Jax will you find a group of providers like & willing to do an inversion with traction at an ECV appointment JUST to get baby’s bum OUT of the pelvis before manually turning him!

• says “I think some traction would be good with this... would you like to do it or can I?” Ummm yes please you go right ahead while I help her focus on her breath and take an awesome picture of this! 🤣 Actual conversation 👆🏻

•So don’t settle for anything less than this people! Almost anything is possible when you have the right team on your side!
