April is Cesarean Section Awareness Month!
We want to acknowledge all the mamas who braved this surgery to meet their babes 💕
Your emotions are valid. Whether you have a planned or emergency c-section, you are a warrior ❤️

Miscarriage is the worst 💔😔
And sadly, it`s very common - so let`s normalize talking about it and sharing the experience.
Not only can it help mamas process and grieve, but other mamas can learn what to expect and not feel so alone.
If you`ve experienced a miscarriage and feel comfortable sharing, we`d love to hear your story below 💗💗
Why is baby always super active at night?! 🕺
In utero (and out!), babies like movement and sound - like the movement of you walking around during the day and the sound of your voice while you’re awake! It’s like a gentle rocking and soothing puts them right to sleep!
But once YOU go to sleep, no more movement and noise - they wake right up and start moving all around!
This is SUPER common!! It happened to me all the time when I laid down to sleep!
Does this happen to you and your babe? 😍
🤣🤣🤣
Even if you don’t have a tear, you’re likely going to be pretty sore down there for a little while!
✅ Ice packs and dermoplast help!
What else helped you down there?
Sushi myth!! 🍣 😬
Who LOVES sushi? 🙋🏼♀️
I actually CRAVED THE HECK out of sushi during my pregnancies (I ate it at least once a week 😂🙌🏻)
But did you know, sushi isn’t exactly one of those taboo foods you can’t eat during pregnancy!
As long as you are eating certain cooked and/or veggie sushi from a reputable place, you’re fine!
Sushi has been labeled UNSAFE during pregnancy because of the risk of food borne illness-and this carries a greater risk when you are consuming foods that are not cooked or undercooked.
Food poisoning can be pretty dangerous during pregnancy, coming with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea which can lead to dehydration (and we all know that dehydration is not good during pregnancy!)
Another risk is the risk of mercury exposure, and some fish have higher mercury levels than others- particularly: swordfish, king mackerel, marin, orange roughy, and tilefish.
So, it’s recommended that you avoid sushi with these types of fish as well!
But California roll? GIMME!!! 🥰😍
Did you eat sushi during your pregnancy??
It’s no surprise that pregnancy causes LOTS of changes in your body, with weight gain being the most noticeable.
And along with weight gain can come stretch marks, acne, and other pleasant and not so pleasant physical, emotional, hormonal, and psychological changes.
For some women, pregnancy can cause body image issues they didn’t have before or exacerbate existing problems.
Here are some ways to accept and embrace the changes your body experiences during pregnancy:
❤️ Remind yourself that it’s temporary. You will not be pregnant forever, and while you might not return to your exact pre-pregnancy size, you will part with a lot of the discomforts and unpleasantries when you are no longer pregnant
❤️ Exercise. Even 15 minutes a day of light exercise can do wonders for your mental health
❤️ Try not to compare yourself to others. I know this can be REALLY hard, but remember that we are all unique and will carry our pregnancies differently
❤️ Remember that your genes play a role. Sure, there are things you can do to make your pregnancy healthier, but at the end of the day, there are some things that are out of your control
❤️ Ditch the scale. If you have scale anxiety, tuck that thing away in your closet for the next 9+ months. And feel free to step on the scale backwards during your prenatal appointments if you don’t want to see the number
❤️ Focus on the positive things your body is doing during pregnancy. Remind yourself that your body is changing to support your baby’s growth and development
❤️ Surround yourself with support. And don’t be afraid to seek mental health support if you feel that you need it
Any other tips to add to this list?? 👇
It`s real! Preggo brain is TOTALLY a thing!!
Feeling more forgetful, foggy, or just like you`re losing your mind? Yep, you`re not alone - many pregnant women experience this (and unfortunately it typically extends into motherhood....known as "mom brain" 🤪)
It`s hard to determine exactly what causes this but it`s likely due to a combination of:
✅ Getting less sleep/sleep deprivation in general
✅ Stress and anxiety
✅ Hormonal changes
And, even a 2016 study determined there are solid physiological changes that occur in the structure of all women`s brains during pregnancy!
Share some of your preggo brain moments with me 👇
Ask the mom what she needs ❤️
