All of this. Must read ! Prevent future health issues.

“Vitamin D is one of the most critical and under-addressed nutrients in pregnancy. A simple blood test called 25-hydroxyvitamin D can show whether your levels are optimal. While most labs consider 30 ng/mL to be “normal,” emerging research suggests that levels closer to 40–60 ng/mL are ideal for maternal and fetal health. Vitamin D is essential not only for bone development, but also for immune function, brain development, and the regulation of inflammation. Low prenatal vitamin D levels have been associated with higher risk of preterm labor, impaired language development, and even autism spectrum disorder. Vitamin D also influences fetal immune system programming, which can affect long-term risk of autoimmune conditions and allergies.

Supplementing to reach optimal levels—ideally before conception—can make a powerful difference.” — Brittany Blockman, MD

Integrative pediatrician Brittany Blockman, MD experienced how hard it is for parents to find clear, proactive guidance on optimizing a baby’s health before birth, revealing a major gap in our disease-focused medical system. From vitamin D and iron to DHA, magnesium, probiotics, and reducing toxin exposure, the research is clear: early, intentional support in pregnancy can profoundly shape lifelong outcomes for both mother and child.

Some laughs along the way with this moma! Baby #5 is coming in hot😅

She is due any day now and mentioned how her contractions have been about 10 minutes apart. She has been like this all weekend so I knew we had to do some adjustments, help create space for baby and relax her from head to toe! We definitely released that fascia🫶🏽
We worked to:
✨ Release tension
✨ Support optimal positioning
✨ Encourage balance in the pelvis

She felt relaxed and her face was so relieved after this session. She mentioned how her contractions became more consistent after this. (That is the goal)

Her body needed a reset so we shaked some apples 🍑
(I Can see this baby coming out real soon👀)

Because everyone NEEDS a birth plan‼️

💥Why?

A birth plan helps reduce unnecessary interventions when paired with the right support.
Advocacy is essential if you want a birth that aligns with your values and preferences.

Too often we hear, “As long as baby is healthy.”
Uh… that’s the bare minimum.
What about the mother and father’s voices actually being heard?
What about preventing your birth from being hijacked by convenience, pressure, or lack of full information about alternatives?

What about saying, “No,” or “Not yet,” to an intervention?

I’ve seen firsthand how birth plans play out in the delivery room as a doula and I’ll say the families who walk in without a printed birth plan are the ones who tend to experience more pressure, more pushback. What helps though is having your birth support with yoi whether its your partner, support person or doula👐

A birth plan isn’t just a paper...
It’s clarity.
It’s protection.
It’s your voice on paper.

Send this to an expecting family🧡

This twin moma got her vaginal birth!👐

The why👐✨️

10/02/2025

I think this is the first picture where you'll find me holding my client's baby🥹(thank you Alicia for capturing this moment ). If it weren't for her this picture wouldn't be here😅

Personally, I do not make it a priority to hold my client's newborn when they are born because it is not about me but them. I don't ask for a family picture with the doula because it's just not me. I was just a tool they've used for their birth✨️

Like my shirt says, "Mother the mother" and how I hold this so dearly. One of the main reasons as to why I decided to major in Social Work, to hold mothers first and families.

It's always an honor to walk alongside my families. But with this particular family, we lasted a little longer together. Her and partner attended the whole childbirth series(an additional 4 sessions)
which was a total of 9 visits.

I always say prenatal education is where its at‼️
And how these amazing parents truly prepared. They were ready, hearing how her partner advocated for her when they were trying to coerced her into getting an induction for no medical reason. I remember her partner sharing how he felt like he had preclampsia by the end of their 41 week and 2 day visit ( although mother was clear with no risks ect)

To Baby Everly's parents, I am just in awe, my 42 week family with the most placenta capsules I have gotten😅 (yes 42 can be normal but your hospital will try to fight you 😅)
You guys are a force🙏
