I remember preparing so much for my first baby.
Complete akong baby bag at 35 weeks. Everything was organized… and of course, I thought I was ready.
One thing I’m really grateful for?
My husband and I attended a breastfeeding class together.
And honestly… that changed everything for me.
Because when the days got hard—when I was exhausted, in pain, and questioning if I had enough milk—
he was there reminding me,
“Love, gamay pa ang tummy ni baby… okay ra na.”
He listened. He learned. He stayed.
That kind support made my breastfeeding journey possible for years.
But even with that preparation…
When my baby arrived, I realized—
I still wasn’t fully prepared for the - FOURTH TRIMESTER.
And my labor journey had its own unexpected turns with my first and second baby.
Walay gyud nakaingon nako unsa ka overwhelming ang first few days.
The exhaustion. The emotional shifts.
Mga times where I asked:
“Sakto ba ni akong gibuhat?”
Now, as a mom of three, I can honestly say…
this is the part most of us are least prepared for.
We prepare so much for the baby…
but not for ourselves.
Let me ask you…
💗 Do you know how to manage labor pains naturally?
💗 Do you know how to properly establish your milk supply?
💗 Have you ever held a newborn before?
💗 Do you know what to expect in the first few days after birth?
💗Did you know your newborn’s tummy is only the size of a marble on day 1?
Mao nang dili nila kailangan daghan dayon og milk… but if you don’t know this, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or even mahadlok. Normal ra na, espcially first time tanan.
That’s why preparation matters.
And support matters.
I’m very honored to be working with Nadine Casino — a registered nurse, mom of three, founder of Modern Nanays of Mindanao, and founder of Alima Mother Support Center.
