Hi there! Coming in on two wheels today. I’ll be right there.

Grateful for you, our community.

Hey hey, Mamas! Another great Saturday spent with each other! I am loving how organic this group is. Easy conversation about raw, real life. I hope you’re each feeling supported and uplifted when you leave.

A good backpack diaper bag is must have to get you through your days as a new, or even, experienced mama. Below is my (Keisha) recommendation. This is directly from the site, but I bet you can find a good second hand bargain somewhere. This bag was literally one of my favorite items when I was still in the diaper bag gang. My husband and I both carrried this bag for probably 3+ years. Let me know if you have any questions.

See you next week!

In motherhood and life, most things, are trial and error. We do our best to be responsive and adaptive…when things need changing, we change them. We pivot. At BBC, we have been listening to the needs and wants of our mamas, and we are pivoting to serve you better. On the fall schedule, we are introducing a new community for mamas:

The Chaos Collective!

If you are a mama, mama-to-be, or trying, you belong! You don't have to be perfect to show up here; this is where mama comes for calm, community, and coffee!

Chaos Collective meets every Saturday from 11:30 am - 1 pm at the Bluegrass Birth Collective home base at 278 Southland Dr, unless otherwise posted in our private Facebook group.

Each week we provide time and space for our community to connect with coffee, tea, and light snacks, play time for babies and toddlers, and discussion time for mamas. Some weeks we have a short program on requested topics like essential baby gear, baby-friendly cleaning products, self-care strategies for mamas, etc.

New group members are welcome at any stage of motherhood, pregnancy, or while trying to conceive. If you are a mother, or are preparing to be, and feel the urge to be in community with other mamas, this place is for you.

If you have not already joined the Chaos Collective mama group at Bluegrass Birth Collective's website, please do that before attending. You can scan the QR code in the cover photo to be directed to registration. Then request to join our private Facebook group to stay updated on meeting places and other relevant info. (C&P the link below into your Brower to find the Facebook group.)

Many more resources are available during pregnancy, recovery, and motherhood at BBC, so let us know what you need - we are here to support you and your family.

Feel Better.
Yoga helps to align the body, preventing or relieving many common discomforts including backache, fatigue, and joint pain. Yoga also helps to stabilize the emotions, relieve stress, and integrate changes in the body. You will leave class feeling better than when you came in!

Be Stronger.
Yoga uses stretching and strength-building poses to tone muscles without straining them, improve flexibility, and promote healthy blood flow, keeping your body active and strong for a lifetime. Healthy muscles stretch more easily, and are less likely to ache, tear, or cause injury.

Prepare for Birth.
Yoga builds strength and confidence in the body and stimulates the relaxation response, releasing fear, tension, and stress. Through yoga practice we develop body and breath awareness, focus, and concentration, learning to relax quickly and completely.

September is Yoga Awareness Month! So, if you've been curious about yoga...

+ What will I experience in a yoga class?
+ How will I feel afterwards?
+ What will the rest of my day and week be like?
..then we suggest starting with a 5 class pack for $55. This allow you to try several different classes and teachers to find the best fit for you. Copy and Paste the link below or follow the link in our bio to see our schedule and register.
