Having a 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 during pregnancy means 👇
your baby will be born with lots of hair 🤔

Personal story... I had so much heartburn with number 2.

A study by 𝙅𝙤𝙝𝙣 𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙨 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙮 scientists in 2006 followed 64 pregnant women and monitored their symptoms.

Researchers admitted even they were surprised by the results.

They concluded: 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨, 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣 𝙨𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙙𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙜𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙨𝙩.

Was this pregnancy myth true for you?

✨With so many different options and outcomes for birth, everyone's birth is unique.

To all the incredible mamas who have undergone and will undergo cesarean birth by choice or unplanned, remember having a cesarean delivery doesn't mean your body failed or that you chose the "easy way out"

In fact, it's quite the opposite. Your body performed an incredible feat by bringing life into this world, exactly as it was meant to do. 🙌

You are strong!
You are resilient!
You are amazing!
You are courageous! 💜

Here are a few tips for moms-to-be:
📌Learn about all types of birth experiences, including cesareans, to empower yourself with knowledge.
📌Open communication with your healthcare provider can help you understand your options and make informed decisions about your birth plan.
📌Surround yourself with a supportive network of family, friends, and doula who can offer guidance and encouragement.

OH and PS: Tag a c-section mama - let her know that her strength and courage shine through every scar.

Words I live by every day ❤️❤️❤️

Every baby welcomed, every mama supported make my heart grow bigger and deeper touching on some unseen boundaries before those barriers dissolve and reveal new worlds that want to be explored.

Can I be honest with you for a bit?

The first few weeks were the weeks where I could barely function as a mother. In my head at that time, being a mother has to be flawless, be quick when your baby cries, have a good supply of milk, and many other “flawless” things. But I was wrong. That’s not what being a mother is about, isn’t it?

What I learned though, during the first few weeks, you need to take good care of yourself to rebuild your strength, such as:

✅ Taking naps when the baby naps, to make up for lost sleep at night from getting up to feed the baby.
✅ Wearing a supportive bra and use cold packs to help relieve breast engorgement and swelling.
✅ If stitches were needed during a vaginal delivery, take warm, shallow baths twice a day to ease soreness and speed healing.
✅ If you had to do a caesarean section, keep the incision clean and dry.

I offer Online Consultation for you to learn more about this matter. Message me to book a session 📩

PICTURE THIS…

Your baby has been crying a lot..
A lot of the time they’re covered in drool..
And they haven’t been sleeping well!

Any idea what’s happening with them?

Yep, they can be teething! 🦷🦷

Normally, some babies start teething before they are 4 months old, and some after 12 months. But most babies start teething at around 6 months. At what age is your baby teething? ⬇️
