Did you know?The uterus is one of the hardest-working muscles in the human body — especially during labour. But here’s the powerful part:When a birthing person is under stress, the body goes into fight or flight mode, sending blood away from the uterus and into the arms and legs — preparing the body to run.Less blood flow = less oxygen to the uterus = more pain and potentially slower labour.This is why calm, safe birthing environments are not optional — they’re essential.Let’s support physiology and create births where the body can do what it’s built for — in peace. 💫🎥 Original wisdom from (Katherine Graves) - thank you so much for sharing this beautiful insights!

🌟 The Magic of Skin-to-Skin Contact 🌟

Did you know that holding your baby skin-to-skin has incredible benefits? This simple act helps regulate your baby’s body temperature, heart rate, and breathing, while also promoting bonding and emotional connection.

For new moms and dads, skin-to-skin contact can boost milk production and reduce stress. It’s a beautiful way to start your journey together and nurture your little one’s development.

Embrace these precious moments and let the power of touch strengthen your bond. 💖
