Pregnancy Tip 1: Practice Beautiful Lies

Never share your due date with anyone, not even yourself! This date is just a prediction. There's no need for anyone to know it. Even for your brain, it might be a red flag if the date comes and goes without labor starting. Birth will happen when everything—your body, the baby, the environment, the atmosphere, and your hormones—align in a special moment of new beginnings.

In my experience, I've only had one baby born on the due date—my own first baby. My last baby was born at 42 weeks, and one of my recent clients had a baby at home at 44 weeks.

If you're feeling nervous, you can always take a stress test. Otherwise, just enjoy the calm before the storm. You'll be very busy soon! Birth isn't about the brain or predictions; it's about trust.

In the moment of arrival, a new world begins,
As tears mingle with joy, and heartache thins.
For in the pain and ecstasy of life's grand design,
We find beauty in the messy, the imperfect, the divine.

Let's talk about those expectations we had about childbirth and the postpartum period versus the reality of it all. 💕

Before welcoming our little ones into the world, many of us have certain ideas, hopes, and expectations about how things will go. Whether it's envisioning a serene, natural birth or imagining a seamless transition into parenthood, these expectations can shape our journey in profound ways.

But let's get real: sometimes reality has its own plans, right? Maybe your birth experience was nothing like what you anticipated, or perhaps the postpartum period brought unexpected challenges you never saw coming.

So, let's share our stories! What were your expectations about birth and postpartum, and how did they stack up against reality? Were there any surprises, joys, or even hardships that you hadn't prepared for?

Whether your journey was smooth sailing or a rollercoaster ride, your story matters. Let's create a space where we can learn from each other, offer support, and celebrate the beauty and unpredictability of parenthood. 💖✨

Share your experiences in the comments below, because together, we're stronger! 💪

Why Postpartum Support Matters:

🌸 Emotional Well-being: The emotional rollercoaster following childbirth can be overwhelming. Support from family, friends, and professionals helps mitigate feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation, providing much-needed comfort and reassurance.

🌸 Physical Recovery: Postpartum support aids in physical recovery. From helping with household chores to ensuring the mother gets adequate rest and nutrition, every bit of assistance can speed up the healing process and enhance recovery.

🌸 Breastfeeding Success: Support is vital for breastfeeding mothers. Guidance from lactation consultants, doulas, and supportive family members can address challenges, encourage breastfeeding, and promote bonding with the baby.

🌸 Practical Help: Everyday tasks can become daunting with a newborn. Support with cooking, cleaning, and caring for older children allows new mothers to focus on their recovery and bonding with their baby.

🌸 Empowerment and Confidence: Knowing that there is a support network to lean on empowers new mothers, boosts their confidence, and helps them navigate the challenges of motherhood with greater ease and assurance.

You deserve to have the best birth & postpartum possible. It's an investment into your and your baby's wellbeing!

Did you get an ultrasound during your pregnancy? I'd love to hear about your experiences! 🤰✨ There's so much information out there on this topic. Whether you found it reassuring, a bit nerve-wracking, or decided to skip it altogether, your story matters.

Some people appreciate the detailed insight ultrasounds provide, while others prefer a more holistic approach, focusing on natural cues and fewer medical interventions.

Preparing for birth and the postpartum period is as crucial as the pregnancy journey itself. Planning helps ensure a smoother transition into motherhood, providing peace of mind and confidence.

🌸 Empowerment: Knowing your options and having a plan empowers you to make informed decisions during labor and delivery.

🌸 Support System: Identifying your support network—doulas, midwives, family, and friends—ensures you have the emotional and physical help you need.

🌸 Postpartum Care: Planning for postpartum care is essential for recovery and well-being. Arrange for help with household tasks, meals, and self-care routines to focus on bonding with your baby.

🌸 Mental Health: Being prepared can reduce anxiety and stress, helping you maintain a positive mindset through the challenges of birth and the postpartum period.

Taking the time to plan now sets the foundation for a more empowered, supported, and joyful transition into motherhood. 💕

The birth of my children, our travels, and the countless people we've met have all shaped my path. It all started with a simple question after a speaking engagement: "How much do you charge for a personal consultation?" That was my sign—yes, I can help people with my experiences, knowledge, and care.

From a difficult hospital birth in Russia with my first son in 2014 to a gentle home birth in India, each experience has taught me so much. After moving to the USA and adopting a child, I began sharing my advice online, helping friends across the ocean.

My third child's birth in the USA was a turning point. The postpartum period was challenging, but a transformative visit to a Russian bathhouse helped me realize my calling. I pursued further education and certifications, including becoming a Postpartum Doula with DONA International, studying at the Academy of Holistic Midwifery, and learning Aromatherapy and Hypnobirthing.

The birth of my fourth child at home without a midwife was empowering. It made me believe in the power of health and nature. Now, with each new client, I fall more in love with my chosen profession.

Postpartum support is crucial for new mothers as they transition into motherhood. This period, often referred to as the "fourth trimester," is filled with profound changes and challenges. Having a strong support system during this time can make a significant difference in a mother's physical recovery, emotional well-being, and overall adjustment to her new role.
Let's remember the importance of rallying around new mothers, offering them the support they need to thrive in their new journey. Postpartum care is not a luxury—it's a necessity. 💕
