Labor asks a lot of the body. Energy, hydration, and minerals are used constantly as contractions build and progress.

Having simple, familiar snacks on hand can help support steady energy without overwhelming digestion. Think fluids, gentle carbohydrates, protein, and fats that work together to sustain you through long hours of work and into early recovery.

There is no perfect snack list. What matters most is choosing foods you already tolerate well and can eat in small amounts when needed.

Save this for packing your hospital or birth center bag, or share with someone preparing for birth.

🤍 February New Mama + Pregnancy Circles 🤍

Our goal is to provide you with connection, a place to feel safe and never judged, a place to learn from other moms.

Our hosts are not guests. They are mothers and trusted resources in our community, who have found a home in this place just like you, who believe in lifting each other up. They each bring a unique knowledge and wisdom to this space. It is not their job to “lead” a group, but simply hold space to let the mothers find what they need.

We hope that you find something that serves you here, whether it is knowledge, friendship or support. Our doors are always open 🫶🏼

What many people think midwives do:
Deliver the baby.

What midwives actually do:
So much more.

Midwives provide ongoing care throughout pregnancy, offering education, monitoring, and support as your body changes. They take time to build relationship, listen deeply, and help families understand their options so decisions feel informed and grounded.

During labor, midwives support the natural physiology of birth, assess how both parent and baby are doing, offer guidance, reassurance, and hands on care, and step in when support or intervention is needed. Their presence is steady, attentive, and rooted in trust.

After birth, midwifery care continues. Supporting recovery, feeding, emotional wellbeing, and the transition into parenthood. Care does not end when the baby is born.

Midwifery is not just about catching babies.
It is about walking alongside families through one of life’s most meaningful transformations.

The uterus is powerful, adaptive, and deeply intelligent.

It is designed to stretch, protect, contract, and recover in ways that support pregnancy, birth, and healing. Often overlooked, this organ plays a central role in the body’s ability to grow, nurture, and sustain life.

We love sharing information that invites curiosity and appreciation for the body and the wisdom it holds.

Is your baby feeling comfortable in their body?

Gentle, non invasive bodywork can be a supportive way to help babies feel more at ease and relaxed as they grow. Some families explore this kind of care when they notice tension, asymmetry, or signs that their baby may benefit from extra support.

Working with a trained, experienced professional allows care to remain gentle, responsive, and tailored to your baby’s unique needs. The goal is comfort, ease, and supporting your baby’s natural development in a respectful way.

If you are breastfeeding, your body produces higher levels of prolactin, the hormone that supports milk production. But prolactin does more than help feed your baby.

It also influences alertness, protectiveness, and yes, sometimes irritability. That short fuse or intense instincts are not personality flaws. They are your biology at work.

Prolactin helps your body stay close, notice changes, and protect your baby during one of the most vulnerable seasons of life. Your nervous system is on high alert because your baby depends on you.

You are not being “difficult” or “too much.” You are responding exactly as a deeply connected, caregiving body is designed to respond.

Understanding the science behind motherhood can replace guilt with compassion. Your body is working hard to protect, nourish, and love fiercely.
You are not alone, and you are not broken. Your body has your back, mama.
