Helpful reminders for how to manage the first weeks with a new baby:

The 3 Rs
🗝️Rest
🗝️Recover
🗝️Receive help

The 3 Ns
✨Nourish
✨Nurture
✨Nest

The “5-5-5 Rule” for the first 15 days postpartum:
5️⃣days in the bed,
5️⃣days on the bed,
5️⃣days around the bed.

La Leche League's general rule for new motherhood:
💕Don’t stand if you can sit,
💕Don’t sit if you can lie down,
💕Don’t just lie down if you can sleep.

You’ll need support from others to get the rest you need, so give yourself permission to let your people (or a postpartum doula 🙋🏻‍♀️) help!

Optimize your seatbelt safety in pregnancy!

🚘 As the driver:
✔️Lap belt goes under your belly, lying flat on your legs in front of your hips.
✔️Shoulder belt goes across your collar bone & center of your chest, to the side of your belly.

Adjust seat so that:
✔️You can fully reach the pedals and steering wheel;
✔️There’s some space between your belly and the steering wheel;
✔️You get a great seat belt fit.

Adjust the steering wheel so that:
✔️The air bag is angled toward your chest, not your belly or face;
✔️There’s at least 10” of space between your chest and the air bag.

🚘 As a passenger:
✔️Seat belt fit is the same as for a pregnant driver.
✔️In the front seat, you may have heard that it’s best to move your seat as far back from the air bag as possible, but the optimum seat position is the one that gives you the best fit with your seat belt.

Great info at hcpvs.org!

The first weeks with a new baby can be full of questions:

❓Is this normal?
❓What should I do?
❓What does it mean when the baby does THAT??
❓How long does this last?

Encouragement, nonjudgmental support, evidence-based information, & hands-on help from a postpartum doula can make the fourth trimester so. much. easier.

What do we do in HypnoBirthing?

✨We learn how to work with the big energy of labor rather than resist it.
✨We cultivate confidence & trust, and we put fear in its place.
✨We learn our options and how to advocate for ourselves.
💪Rather than being a submissive patient, we claim our power.

Join us in October! This is great timing for those expecting little ones in December, January, and February.

The thing most of my clients need more than anything is sleep!

My visits very often involve a quick catch-up, ensuring that you have a meal or snack, and then caring for your little one/s while you cozy up for a couple of hours of brain-healing, body-mending sleep.
