Alright, let's talk about something truly fascinating (and crucial!) regarding your birth and postpartum journey.

Did you know that the delivery of your placenta is actually the signal that tells your body it's time to start producing breast milk? It's your body's incredible natural cue!

But here's where it gets interesting: a common practice called 'traction' – where your provider manually tugs on your placenta – can actually disrupt this delicate process. Not only can this increase your risk of postpartum hemorrhage (more bleeding than necessary), but it can also delay your milk from coming in properly.

Your body is designed for this! Avoiding unnecessary traction can be a key factor in ensuring your milk comes in smoothly and reducing complications. It's all so interconnected – your birth, your postpartum recovery, and your breastfeeding journey. Understanding these nuances empowers you to make informed choices.

𝐏𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐧 is one of the top reasons babies go into distress during labor. 🚨

Not because your body failed.
Not because your baby couldn’t “handle labor.”
But because synthetic contractions are harder, longer, and closer together than nature ever intended.

When a uterus is forced to contract without adequate rest, the placenta doesn’t get time to refill with oxygen-rich blood. The baby gets less oxygen. Baby’s heart rate drops. Cue the “emergency.” ⚠️

And here’s the kicker: the #1 medical excuse for a C-section is “fetal distress.” So the drug they gave you to “help” your labor? Often becomes the very reason surgery is suddenly “necessary.” Your body wasn’t broken. Your baby wasn’t behaving badly. 👶

But as of now, in the U.S., this is one of the most abused drugs in obstetrics.

Pitocin is an amazing tool when used ethically and with consent.

That’s why it’s crucial to be informed and empowered about your birthing choices. Birthify offers resources and support to help you navigate your birth journey with confidence. Let us help you create the experience you deserve! 🌟

Ready to thrive during your pregnancy? It's all about a few simple habits that make a world of difference for you and your baby. Let's get into it!

Exercise: Aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity per week, which is about 30 minutes on most days. This keeps your body strong and helps manage energy levels.

Walk: Taking a quick 10-minute walk before and after meals is a great way to boost digestion and stay active without overdoing it.

Sleep: Your body is doing incredible work, so make sure you're getting enough rest. Try for 6 to 8 hours at night, plus a 1 to 2-hour nap in the afternoon if you can.

Diet: Fuel your journey with a balanced diet. Focus on fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins, and limit added sugars and unhealthy fats.

Water Intake: Staying hydrated is key! Drink 8 to 12 cups of water daily to support everything your body is doing.

Embracing these habits is a beautiful way to honor your body and the life you're creating.

🚨 Attention Parents! 🚨
Scientists urge us to rethink what happens after birth: Stop discarding placentas! 🛑💔 This incredible tissue is a treasure trove of insights into maternal and baby health, potentially revealing answers to issues like low birth weight, neurological problems, and more. 🤰👶

We’ve been overlooking a valuable research opportunity: the placenta holds key insights into the health of both mother and baby. Discarding the placenta after birth? Scientists are saying, “Not so fast.” That mass of tissue holds lots of information about the mother and baby’s health, and scientists are now urging that they be studied, not discarded.

They could answer questions about a woman’s most recent pregnancy and those thereafter, like reasons for:

Low birth weight

Neurological issues in infants

Pregnancy hypertension

Cardiovascular issues in the parent

Examining the placenta after birth could help doctors detect fungal infections in the baby, cardiovascular issues later in life, and more. While not all health care systems are set up to immediately analyze placentas after birth, it’s a conversation worth continuing for the sake of women’s health and the baby’s future.

Whether you have a planned or unplanned C-section, it's the only major surgery where you have seven layers opened, yet are expected to be on your feet just hours later.

It's a true test of a mother's strength, as she's immediately responsible for a new person while her own body is healing, dealing with uterine contractions, and navigating the challenges of breastfeeding and visitors.

Your postpartum recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. You deserve the time and support to heal fully.
