Savoring Baby’s Movements: A Special Time to Bond 🤰

Those little kicks and flutters you feel while your baby is in utero are precious moments to cherish. Use this time to bond with your unborn baby—talk, sing, or play a melody.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

✨ Get to know your baby’s movement patterns.
✨ During active periods, you should feel 10 or more movements within an hour.
✨ If you notice decreased movement, try having something to eat and drink, lie down, and count. There should be 10 or more movements in an hour.
✨ If movement is still reduced or absent, contact your healthcare provider or head to your birth location.

Common Factors Influencing Movement:

• Being under 18 weeks pregnant
• Baby’s position in relation to the placenta
• Higher amounts of amniotic fluid
• A high BMI
• Pain medication, alcohol, or smoking

Stay connected with your baby and keep an eye on those movements—it’s a vital part of your pregnancy journey.

Doula Penny Simkin discusses the positive impact that doulas have on birth outcomes. They provide a unique form of labor support that is different from that of other caregivers involved in the birth process--but complements the roles of others. Simkins describes why this is so.

In light of today being International Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Day, we’d like to shine a spotlight on this serious condition.
FAS is the leading preventable cause of birth defects worldwide, with South Africa having one of the highest rates (!) FAS results from alcohol consumption during pregnancy, causing lifelong effects. Affected babies may experience:

-Small heads
-Abnormal facial features
-Low weight gain
-Hyperactivity or lack of focus
-Poor coordination
-Delayed milestones
-Learning difficulties
-Deformed limbs or fingers
-Vision or hearing problems
-Heart and kidney issues

*Alcohol is harmful to a developing baby because it prevents oxygen from reaching vital organs. Even one drink a day can increase the risk of FAS. Drinking during the first trimester is particularly dangerous and can lead to miscarriage.
*Alcohol can also be passed through breast milk, posing risks like poor growth and developmental delays. There is no known safe amount, so it’s best to avoid alcohol during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
