Sick days are no joke. Your body is carrying a lot — mentally, emotionally, physically. You’re not weak, you’re human. Rest where you can. Breathe when you remember. This season will pass. Hang in there, mama! 🤍

Pregnant or trying to conceive? Just a gentle reminder: birth prep isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.

With shorter appointments and limited continuity of care becoming more common, many women aren’t getting the time or support they truly deserve during pregnancy.

That’s where birth prep comes in. It bridges the gaps by helping you understand your options, communicate confidently with your provider, and make informed decisions throughout your pregnancy and birth experience.

Now more than ever, preparing for birth is an act of self-advocacy—equipping you with evidence-based info and practical tools to navigate a system that can feel rushed and overwhelming.

You deserve to feel informed, supported, and empowered every step of the way. 🫶🏻

Did you know vaginal dryness is super common with hormonal changes—postpartum, while breastfeeding, during perimenopause and menopause? Lower estrogen = less natural moisture. 💧

A gentle, non-hormonal vulvar balm like VMagic can soothe dry skin and promote comfort while your body navigates hormonal shifts. ⚖️

Not to be confused with a lubricant (also helpful for dryness!) —which mainly works during intimacy—think of vulvar and vaginal moisturizers more like part of your daily self-care routine.🌿

If dryness or irritation persist, it’s worth asking your healthcare provider about the option of topical estrogen to help with your symptoms. 👩🏼‍⚕️

On the topic of l**e, water-based lubricant is easily absorbed into dry skin and may require reapplication. Oil, silicone and hybrid l**e options may be more helpful for intimacy and overall hydration, though your best choice will depend on preference and a variety of personal factors, so read the fine print and do your research especially if using condoms or prone to chronic BV, UTIs or yeast overgrowth.

Cheers to your pelvic health, no matter what stage of life you are in!🥂

Oh, and sharing is caring! Send this to your mom, your sister, your friends, anyone who you think could benefit.👏🏻

Mom butt? Back pain? Say no more!

🤰🏽As baby grows during pregnancy, many women experience more of an anterior pelvic tilt (belly forward, butt sticks out, low back is tight and strained) which causes hip flexors in the front to tighten and glutes/hamstrings in the back to lengthen and weaken

👩🏼‍🍼When holding, feeding and rocking baby postpartum, it’s common to adopt more of an upper body forward hunch and posterior pelvic tilt (butt tucked under, hamstrings tight, glutes asleep)

🚩Needless to say, when unaddressed, these postural changes can cause overall weakness, chronic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction.

➡️ Hip hinges (think hip joints = hinges on a door) can help and are a perfect exercise to strengthen your glutes and hammies! Bend your knees slightly, engage your core to keep a neutral spine, hinge forward at the hips, activate glutes, return to standing, and repeat! Add some reps and weight (or a baby) and feel the burn!

➡️ Hip hinging is also a useful strategy to protect your back and pelvic floor (instead of rounding your back) when you reach or lift during daily activities! Next time you empty the dishwasher or lean over your sink to brush your teeth, check what your go-to movement pattern is!

*Baby-wearing gurus-- I’m embarrassed to say that I had not checked if I could adjust the position of my Ergobaby center back strap until I saw how high it was in this video and investigated!
Babywearing mamas, don’t be like me! That strap makes a world of difference 😮‍💨

**I tried to speed up the video so you didn’t have to listen to me talk forever, but every time I did, it got chipmunky so I gave up. Lmk if you know a fix for that 😅
