Evenflo is a very popular carseat. Please check out this recall list to make sure your baby's carseat is not on it!

Evenflo has issued a voluntary recall of certain All4One 4-in-1 car seat models due to a possible safety issue.

Have you talked with your partner about how you envision their support through birth? ⁠
⁠
Have they learned (and practiced) the skills to offer you the comfort you need?⁠
⁠
After attending births for over a decade, I can tell you that SO many partners go into birth with all the confidence and NONE of the preparation to be the laboring person "rock" and advocate.⁠
⁠
MANY of these partners end up feeling overwhelmed, useless and even helpless. No one likes to feel that way!⁠
⁠
Lot's of people are worried a doula would replace the partner's role in labor.⁠
Usually though, doulas support the partner, which is what allows them to show up with patience and presence. ⁠
⁠
Considering hiring a doula to support, educate and guide you both.⁠

It is not always easy. In fact, it usually takes A LOT of work.⁠
⁠
You can work towards changing your environment or situation.⁠
⁠
We can also work towards changing our ways of thinking. ⁠
⁠
When we struggle, it is important to ask ourselves if what is being repeated in our mind is helping or hindering us. ⁠
⁠
Often we are talking to ourselves from the perspective of our most vulnerable self. Often that most vulnerable self needs to hear from our most confident self.⁠

Get in there Dads! We all love to see it.⁠
⁠
The more involved and participatory you are in the birth and early days of your baby's life, the more likely you are to stay involved as they grow.⁠
And the more likely they will be able to do the same with theirs.⁠
⁠
The men becoming dads right now have the opportunity to encourage healthy bonding and secure relationships with our next generation. ⁠
⁠
And we hope you feel that it is also your responsibility to at least try!⁠
Let's do the best we all can.⁠

PLACENTA PILLS!⁠
⁠
What are some commonly reported benefits to placenta encapsulation? Here are the ones people share with us the most often!⁠
⁠
🌳Help with the hormonal shift from pregnancy and avoiding The Baby Blues, Postpartum Depression and Postpartum Anxiety.⁠
⁠
💊Your placenta is extremely high in iron, this may help tremendously with postpartum anemia and muscle strength, especially if you had a long labor, if you lost a lot of blood or if you are recovering from a cesarean birth.⁠
⁠
🌳Quicker healing, earlier end of postpartum bleeding and return of uterus to pre-pregnancy state, with less cramping.⁠
⁠
💊An increase in production of milk.⁠
⁠
🌳An increase in energy, some say similar to a cup (or more) of coffee.⁠
⁠
💊A more balanced, calm and even mood.⁠
⁠
🌳Reduction in anxiety, weepy-ness or sadness.⁠
⁠
💊There are a number of studies in animals, both with regards to behavioral and, chemical and nutritional benefits (Selander 2013).⁠
⁠
Results vary from person to person and each experience is unique. Each individual experiences the benefit based on their own lifestyle, birth experience, postpartum recovery and their own body constitution!

If you are a busy person, slowing down postpartum may be incredibly hard for you. ⁠
⁠
Start telling yourself right now that healing is being productive, feeding your baby is "doing something" and taking care of you both is the best way to find your "new" normal. ⁠
⁠
Give yourself 2x as much time to do ANYTHING for the next 18 years. 😆⁠

Have you had a conversation with your mom (or mother-in-law) around expectations of who will be in the room when you give birth?⁠
⁠
As much as some of us would love to have our mothers in the room, just as many of us don't. ⁠
⁠
Moms can be such a wonderful source of comfort. They can also be the #1 thing that irritates you and makes coping a little harder. ⁠
⁠
If your mama is going to be there, make sure there is prep work there too. Have her meet your providers, read your birth plan and have the understanding that sometimes what we want and what we need changes.⁠
⁠
You can also bring her to our FREE Primed Pregnancy Circle, happening weekly at every Thursday at 5:30pm!⁠

It was remarked of Sparks in the early years that, "nothing bad could happen in the town of Sparks." As such Sparks did not have a mortuary, hospital, or cemetery. Pictured here is an early "birthing home" which provided health care services and assisted with births.
