Growing Your Nest Birth Services-Kimberly Williams, RN

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well; My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God!”
Psalm 139:14-17

This caught my eye at a home birth yesterday. What a sweet thought that every baby I have had the honor to serve is known by God. 🤍

Did you know nutrition is at the top of the list for postpartum? Not only do you need a higher caloric intake to breastfeed your baby, but good nutrition can also can help with your mental state too.

I recommend prepping and freezing meals around 34-36 weeks. Have nourishing foods that are easy to heat up. Warming foods have been shown to provide a positive postpartum period.

***don’t forget healthy snacks and breakfast foods too

These all came from personal experience, and just today a client was coerced into something she didn’t want. She felt pressured not to cause tension and couldn’t say “no”.

I often wonder when things will change or if they ever will.

Instead of “we are doing x,y,z” how about a conversation and explanation. Parents have more knowledge now than ever and they shouldn’t be pressured to concede out of fear.

If you have parents who love your baby let them.

I have seen a trend as a doula (I have actually promoted it as well) to have alone time with your newborn in the first 48-72 hours. And while, this is totally your call, you know what is best for you and YOUR baby, grandparents are a blessing. If you have good ones accept their help. Let them hold the baby while you nap, take a shower, eat a meal with your spouse, go on a date, or just rest without having to care for a baby.

Newborns are in constant need and you need to heal and rest too. It is okay to take advantage of the village around you.

Being a first time mom has challenges. Being a first time mom, who breastfeeds can bring many more. If you can’t hire a lactation consultant to help you, you can purchase a scale for weighted feeds. This can put your mind at ease in those early days/ weeks of learning how to breastfeed, and help you trust that your baby is getting enough.

***if you have anxiety weighted feeds can make it worse since babies take different volumes at different times. Trending weights would be better for you.

Read the OP's reflection of this labor and delivery nurse's TikTok. Unfortunately, this is how many labor and delivery nurses and ob's feel about their patients.
