🌿 Nourishing your body in early pregnancy matters more than perfection.

Focus on simple, consistent choices:
• Protein with every meal (Goal: 80-100g a day!)
• Hydration (Goal: 100oz a day!)
• Whole foods when possible (we LOVE for all things nutrition)

Morning sickness? Small, frequent meals can help stabilize blood sugar and reduce nausea.

💛 Remember: This season is about supporting your body, not restricting it.

Have questions about nutrition? We’ve compiled our favorite resources and recommendations over on our website! Hit the "Resources tab and scroll down to "Nutrition & Supplements".

For our OG veteran mamas: how did you sneak in extra protein during your pregnancy? Drop your tips and tricks in the comments, pls!

Becoming a midwife isn’t just something you study—it’s something you live. 🤍

Student midwives learn through an apprenticeship model, walking closely alongside experienced midwives, witnessing birth unfold in real time, and growing into the role with steady guidance and trust of the generations of midwives that came before her.

It’s a path rooted in relationship—where skills are shaped through presence and wisdom is shared heart to heart, not just page to page.

This work is carried forward one student, one birth, one story at a time. ✨

January tricked us by being all light & chill. Then February showed up and decided to triple its birthdays with a record breaking 21 babies in 21 days. 😵‍💫

Some January babes came late and some March (and an April!) decided to show up on the scene early. 🤔

Peace out, February. ✌🏼 It’s been…cool. 🫠

Heartburn in pregnancy = a hairy baby? 🔥

This one actually has a little research behind it.
A small study found that people who reported more heartburn were more likely to have babies born with more hair. The theory? The same pregnancy hormones that relax the esophageal sphincter (hello, reflux) may also influence fetal hair growth.

Is it predictive? No.
Is it a fun physiologic overlap? Yes.

And if the heartburn is relentless — you don’t have to suffer through it. Your midwife has options. 🤍

Tell us in the comments which heartburn remedies helped you during your pregnancy’s!

Easing into 2026...

Supporting labor means accommodating the moment, not interrupting it.

Positioning, timing, touch, and presence all shift to match what the mother needs. Care should fit her, not the other way around. 🩺✨
