Siblings at births can be such a blessing! Check out this blog post.

When we invite children to participate in prenatal visits, we're not just accommodating families—we're creating opportunities for bonding that begin long before birth. The look of amazement when a 4-year-old first hears their sibling's heartbeat through the doppler, or the gentle way a toddler wan...

Those games we play at baby showers can be fun, help to break the ice, and are a tradition. Still I cannot help thinking tonight about the impact we could make if we also focused on things like:

Meal prepping- bring the expecting family a freezer meal.

A sign up chore list- volunteer to tend to her household chores, grocery shopping, errand running.

Sign up for phone calls and pop in visits to refill her breastfeeding snack basket!

Are you skilled at breastfeeding? Offer to help with positions, latching, and overall encouragement.

Let's make sure we are establishing an expectation of being the village to postpartum families!

What else would you like to see a sign up sheet for? What did you most need in your postpartum time?

Aqua therapy is one of the most frequently used coping tools at our center.

Once active labor comes most clients love to sink into the water. There is a sprayer for your back and belly, and cushions for your comfort. You can remain in the water all the way til the moment babe arrives, or you might choose to leave the water and birth on the bed! The options remain yours. Do you have questions about ?

The wonders of breastfeeding!

It’s World Breastfeeding Week. So here’s your reminder:

Breastmilk isn’t “just food.”

It’s medicine.
It’s immunity.
It’s brain fuel.

It’s literally made just for your baby. Adjusting in real time when they’re sick, growing, or sleeping.

Some wild stats you might not know about breastfeeding:

-Cuts SIDS risk in HALF
-Protects against certain diseases
-Reduces mom’s risk of breast & ovarian cancer
-Contains MILLIONS of live immune cells
-Saves families over $1,200+/year
-Could save 800,000+ babies every year worldwide

Breastfeeding is natural but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

So shoutout to the moms who nurse, who pump, who triple feed, who cried through latching, who didn’t make it as far as they wanted.

Let’s normalize it.
Support it.
And never downplay its power.

Preparing your v***a for birth- there are many thoughts on preventing tears and what should we "do".
Eating healthy foods including good fats, can support your tissues. Choosing a position to push that is intuitive, breathing through the ring of fire sensation, and going slow as baby crowns can be a benefit to your tissues. Remember that your tissues are created to expand and have amazing healing ability!
