    • First looks.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Image from Vi Photography⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #birth #pregnant #maternity #bumpstyle #expecting #baby #pregnancy #newborn #mumtobe #momtobe #breastfeeding #doula #postpartum #newbaby #babybump #prenatal #fourthtrimester #newmom #babyontheway #mamadidit
    • Did you know babies themselves may trigger labor when they are ready to live outside the womb? Pretty cool. ⁠ ⁠ Signs Labor is Near:⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Nesting: mom feels the urgency to organize and get everything "ready" for her baby⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Increased Vaginal Discharge as the time gets closer. This can indicate cervical change.⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Feeling Blah. In the couple of days leading up to labor, mom may experience inactive labor where she feels like she wants to rest.⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Lightening. This is when baby "drops" and moves further into the pelvis preparing for birth. ⁠ ⁠ ☀️Save and follow for more pregnancy, labor, and postpartum tips 🤍⁠ ⁠ Visit for more signs: https://mamadidit.com/signs-your-labor-is-coming-soon/⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #birth #thirdtrimester #pregnant #bumpstyle #maternity #expecting #baby #pregnancy #mumtobe #momtobe #doula #prenatal #babybump #babyontheway
    • It's wild and wonderful mothering more than one. Reel courtesy of @life_of_lydi She nailed it! #toddlerlife #motherhood #postpartum #fourthtrimester #momlifebelike #momreels #momsofig #birth #mumlife #mum #mama #birth #motherhoodunplugged #mothering
    • A little look into why pregnant women can feel so uncomfortable towards the end of pregnancy. ⁠ ⁠ 🤍 The diaphragm and lungs get compressed as the uterus grows making it harder to catch a deep breath. Though, relief can come once baby "drops."⁠ 🤍 The uterus continues to expand and ligaments stretch to make room for our baby's growth.⁠ 🤍 Our intestines get pushed around causing intestinal upset or decreased appetite.⁠ 🤍 The bladder gets compressed causing us to pee smaller amounts or have to go frequently. ⁠ ⁠ This discomfort is temporary. If you are experiencing lots of discomfort in pregnancy, I highly recommend @spinningbabies⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #pregnancy #thirdtrimester #birth #newmum #pregnant #motherhood #mama #bumpstyle #maternityphotographer #maternity #babyshower #momlife #expecting #baby #newborn #mumtobe #momtobe #breastfeeding #doula #postpartum #newbaby #prenatal #mommytobe
    • Your support system matters. ⁠ ⁠ The first thing that struck me about this photo was the hands supporting the baby and the mom. Whether you are birthing in a hospital, a birth center, or having a home birth, you need a good team. ⁠ ⁠ 🤍 You need to feel completely safe.⁠ 🤍 You need to feel supported.⁠ 🤍 You need to feel comfortable with asking questions.⁠ 🤍 You need to feel trust in your team.⁠ ⁠ Tour wherever you will be. Get to know your healthcare providers. Ask questions. Interview doulas. Assemble that team, Mama!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Photo credit: Lifetime of Clicks Photography⁠ ⁠ #birth #childbirtheducator #pregnant #bumpstyle #maternity #expecting #baby #pregnancy #newborn #mumtobe #momtobe #breastfeeding #doula #postpartum #babybump #prenatal #fourthtrimester #babyontheway
    • My top tips for breastfeeding success as a postpartum nurse.⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Deeply latch your baby. Make sure your baby's mouth is open wide like a yawn before latching. Then pull them in nice and quick. ⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Hydrate. A breastfeeding mom needs AT LEAST 8 cups of water a day. (I was drinking 12 in the summer months.)⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Doing skin-to-skin with baby can stimulate them to feed. Strip them down to their diaper and place them on your chest if you are having trouble getting them to feed.⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Say no to early pacis. If a baby isn't used to breastfeeding, they can easily get used to the hard nipple on a paci and have a hard time going back to a soft breast.⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Feed on-demand especially early on. Breastfeeding is a supply and demand system. The more you nurse, the more milk you make. Nursing your baby often early on helps establish your milk supply.⁠ ⁠ 🤍 Room-in with your baby. It is much easier to respond to your baby and meet their needs quickly when you are in the same room. It also keeps you from having to get up and down so much. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends moving in with your baby for at least the first six months.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #breastfeeding #birth #lactation #newmum #pregnant #motherhood #maternity #expecting #baby #pregnancy #newborn #mumtobe #momtobe #doula #postpartum #newbaby #babybump #prenatal #fourthtrimester #newmom #babyontheway #postpartumsupport #mamadidit

  • When you're a mom and you can't find your coffee. Every.single.day. #momreels #motherhood #momhumor #mamadidit #momsofig #sahmlife #sahmproblems #homeschoolmom #pregnancybrain #postpartum #doula #newmum #newmom #pregnancy #fourthtrimester #motherhoodtruths
  • I don't recommend postpartum wraps to everyone. Wearing one when it's not needed can put excess pressure on an already recovering pelvic floor. ⁠ ⁠ If you are a c-section mama, you could almost always benefit from one.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #csection #birth #pregnant #expecting #pregnancy #breastfeeding #doula #postpartum #prenatal #fourthtrimester #newmom #babyontheway #postpartumsupport⁠ #motherhood #momtobe #newbaby #babybump
  • That moment of "Oh my gosh, I actually did it." ⁠ ⁠ Dads who are involved in the birth of their babies report feeling an instant connection with their little one and a deeper awareness of their growing family. ⁠ ⁠ Dads, you are capable. You have what it takes. You are needed. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #birth #doula #pregnant #motherhood #maternity #pregnancy #momtobe #newbaby #babybump #fourthtrimester #newmom #postpartumsupport #newborn #babiesofig #dad #dadlife #newdad #fatherhood
  • Yes and yes. ⁠ ⁠ Cons: When a pacifier is introduced before breastfeeding is well established, it can make it difficult for a baby to return to breastfeeding. This leads to a frustrated baby (and mama). ⁠ ⁠ Pros: Giving a pacifier decreases the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) and can soothe a baby in between feedings. ⁠ ⁠ Most lactation consultants recommend waiting until your baby is 4 weeks old to introduce a pacifier. It's safe to do so sooner if your baby is latching well, gaining weight, and you aren't in pain while nursing. ⁠ ⁠ All babies are different. Some do great with pacis early on and some don't. ⁠ How did it go with your baby?? ⁠ ⁠ #happybaby #baby #newborn #newbaby #babysleep #pacifier⁠ #birth #newmum #pregnant #motherhood #bumpstyle #expecting #pregnancy #mumtobe #momtobe #babies #breastfeeding #babybump #mommytobe #mamadidit

  • Skin-to-Skin is when your undressed baby snuggles on mom or dad's bare chest. It is good for all babies whether breast or formula feeding, and should be continued throughout infancy.⁠ ⁠ Babies love to feel your skin and hear your heartbeat. It reminds them of the womb, and may instantly calm them. It may also help your baby nurse better if they are struggling. #newbornbaby #newborn #skintoskin #swaddle #postpartumdoula #postpartum #fourthtrimester #newmom #newmom #mamadidit #pregnancylife #babybump #babywearing #pregnant
  • I know you.⁠ ⁠ Those kicks. Those knees. Those hands. The soft rolls you would do in my belly. ⁠ ⁠ You know me. ⁠ ⁠ My voice. My heartbeat. My scent. ⁠ ⁠ You instantly calmed to the sound of my whispers. You knew I was safe as your ear rested against my chest. You even recognized my smell. You knew right away you were home.⁠ ⁠ Home. Forever home. Forever your mother, my beloved baby.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #motherhood #newmum #pregnant #mama #mum #momlife #expecting #pregnancy #mumlife #newborn #mumtobe #motherhoodunplugged #momtobe #postpartum #children #motherhoodrising #mamadidit
