Boobs. They are the source of a lot of goodness, but can also be a serious pain - especially during pregnancy, and our breastfeeding days. To minimize breast soreness nosh on foods with omega 3 fatty acids, like avocados, fish, flax seed and walnuts. #breast #boobie #breastfriends #pregnancyzone Photo by @eib.saliba

These are unacceptable numbers and an incredibly worthy source of our time, attention and money. If you want to learn more about this issue and support those advocating for change, check out @everymomcounts #maternalhealth #maternalhealthmatters #everymothercounts #repost @birthwithoutfear

Surges (aka contractions) during birth are understandably one of the primary sources of labor stress for many women. Because they’re a lot to manage, we often think there’s a lot we have to do during a surge to get through it - and this can cause overwhelm. But in my experience as a doula and birther, the two most effective tools you can use to move past the discomfort of a surge is to breathe and visualize. Committing your body to long slow breaths, and focusing your mind on tasks like counting, or imagining yourself being drawn up a large wave, can pull your focus away from pain and allow more “I got this” to enter your experience. Then, when the surge subsides, check in with your body to see if a position change, a sip of water, or someone pressing on your back (or another part of your body) during the next surge will be helpful. While there are numerous other tools that can be helpful, these are my personal go-tos. Please feel free to offer additional suggestions below! :) #birthtips #naturalbirthing #childbirtheducator #childbirthpreparation #childbirthclasses
