Maternal Instincts By Jill-Birth Doula And Breastfeeding Services

When it comes to monitoring blood sugar levels during pregnancy, the glucose tolerance test is a standard procedure, but the traditional glucola drink—a sugary, syrupy concoction—can be tough to stomach for many. Enter the fresh test glucose load, a more palatable and natural alternative that’s gaining traction. Designed to provide the same standardized glucose challenge without the artificial ingredients, dyes, or preservatives found in glucola, the fresh test offers a cleaner option for expectant mothers. This intro explores how this innovative substitute works, its benefits, and why it’s becoming a go-to choice for those seeking a gentler, more enjoyable way to complete their glucose screening.

Kaylan Greer Allen Thank you so much for trusting me to guide you throughout your journey ❤️

It was a cold long night wasn’t it😜 Yall this mom rocked every part of her labor, she made decisions that in the moment was the right choice for HER. She chose to rest, and relax before meeting her little bundle.

Not every journey will look the same, nor should it because things shift and moves. Like waves, they ebb and flow 😊

🤱Breastfeeding should feel nourishing—not painful.

I’ve been there—aching, frustrated, and feeling like something was wrong with me when nursing hurt❗️

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Using The Thompson Method’s nurturing and natural techniques, you and baby can find relief and connection—without force or stress.

As your lactation specialist, I’ll help you gently ease ni**le pain using mom and baby led, gentle methods, so feeding can become the comforting bond it’s meant to be.🤩

😍 This is such a huge milestone

Now let’s bring this to Alabama!!! Not just a tub to labor in and then get out when pushing. But to stay as long as mom chooses 🙌

The collaborative care I witnessed early this morning at Southern Tennessee Regional Health System Lawrenceburg from every one of us in the room was astounding. I watched as a midwife rearranged a room with her nurse to accommodate a laboring mother nearing the end of her labor. I watched as we all encouraged and guided mom. I watched us ALL support her how SHE needed. I watched mom dig deep within herself and bring this baby into the world happily, JOYFULLY. Still processing but in the most wonderful way possible because it was just a beautiful, almost other worldly experience that I cannot believe I was able to be part of. Congratulations to the sweet new family and to the workers who are actively creating a safe space for mom and changing birth outlook!☀️🫶🏼
