Moving your body while pregnant can feel really good but some exercises are better saved for later.

For now, it’s best to skip:
• Holding your breath during workouts
• Activities where falling is likely
• Contact sports
• Hard or jarring movements to the belly
• A lot of jumping or bouncing
• Deep twisting or uncomfortable core exercises
• Pushing too hard, then stopping for long periods
• Working out in very hot weather

Your body is already doing something big — growing a baby.
Pregnancy exercise isn’t about doing more. It’s about moving in ways that feel safe and supportive.

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to stop.
And when in doubt, always check in with your provider.

Some mornings start after very little sleep.
Your body is still healing. Your emotions feel close to the surface. And you’re figuring things out as you go.

That’s where this verse meets us:
“His mercies are new every morning.”

Not because today is perfect, but because God is gentle with us in it.
One day at a time. One breath at a time.

If you’re in pregnancy or postpartum, know this. You’re not behind. You’re not alone. And you’re so deeply supported. 💙

Even when your baby is smiling and everything looks calm, the first weeks after birth can feel overwhelming for new moms. Fatigue, stress, and anxiety are totally normal—and sometimes having extra support makes all the difference.

As a partner, you have a huge role in helping her feel cared for. Here are some ways to support her during postpartum:

• Let her rest – Take early mornings or help with night feedings so she can get a little extra sleep.

• Notice the changes – Keep an eye on her mood or behavior and gently encourage her to speak up if something feels off.

• Be available – Show up, be present, and help wherever you can.

• Encourage professional help – A therapist, midwife, or postpartum doula can be a huge support.

• Provide postnatal care – Help with meals, comfort, and checking in on how she’s feeling.

• Get extra help – Hire a night nurse or create a little postpartum village with friends and family.

• Support breastfeeding – Offer a hand during feedings or just sit nearby to keep her company.

• Surprise her – Small gestures like flowers, a favorite snack, or a simple meal go a long way.

Postpartum recovery really is a team effort. 💛
If you want some guidance on supporting your partner every step of the way, our postpartum doula services at Little Lilacs Birth Services are here to help.

Pregnancy comes with a ton of advice—some helpful, some… not so much 😅 Before you take every tip from family, friends, or social media seriously, let’s clear up 5 myths we hear a lot:

1️⃣ “Eating for two” means double the food
Your body does need extra nutrition, but it’s not literally double. Gaining too much too fast can affect your health and your baby. A steady, balanced approach is best.

2️⃣ Spicy foods will harm the baby
Not true! Spicy food might trigger heartburn, but it won’t cause birth defects. Just avoid things that are actually harmful, like alcohol or certain substances.

3️⃣ Fetal heart rate predicts your baby’s s*x
Fun idea, but nope! Studies show there’s no link between heart rate and gender. Focus on those little heartbeats instead and know that they’re amazing! 💓

4️⃣ Sleeping on your back is dangerous for baby
Mostly a myth. Some discomfort is normal if you stay on your back for a long time, but occasional back-sleeping is fine. Listen to your body and adjust if needed.

5️⃣ Raising your arms can wrap the umbilical cord around baby’s neck
Absolutely false. Movements like this won’t hurt your baby. Pregnancy isn’t about mom-blame—don’t stress over everyday movements!

💡Tip: Always check with your provider if something doesn’t feel right. Knowledge is power—knowing what’s true helps you enjoy your pregnancy confidently!

Breastfeeding can be tricky at first, but a few small tweaks can make it so much easier and more comfortable for you and your baby. 🤱
Here’s how to get a deep latch:

Step 1: Bring Baby to You
Always bring baby to your breast, not the other way around. Use a pillow to bring baby up to you—less hunching, more comfort! Try a laid-back position first, or a football/cross-cradle hold if needed.

Step 2: Make a “Breast Sandwich”
Hold your breast like a hamburger, not a taco, so baby can get a good mouthful. Support baby’s head at the base of the neck behind the ears, not the back of the head.

Step 3: Aim for Baby’s Nose or Upper Lip
Point your ni**le toward baby’s nose or upper lip. This helps baby’s lower jaw latch first and encourages a big open mouth.

Step 4: Wait for the Wide Open Mouth
Don’t rush! Wait for baby to open really wide, then gently hug them onto your breast. No pushing—just a soft, comfy hug.

💖 A good latch = happy baby + less pain + easier feeds!

Some days you’ll feel like a superhero. Some days you’ll just want to hide under the covers (and that’s 100% okay!)💙

During pregnancy, your body produces extra blood and fluid, which can cause swelling, tired legs, and achy feet — especially after long days or lots of walking. Compression socks work by gently squeezing your legs to improve circulation, reduce fluid buildup, and ease discomfort, helping you feel lighter and more supported throughout the day.

Have you tried wearing compression socks during pregnancy? 🤰
Did they make a difference for you? We’d love to hear your experience!
