From around 23 weeks, babies start to hear sounds and begin recognizing the mothers voice. β
Though they won't start talking until around year 1, learning language starts from the beginning. β

For a lot of women, the postpartum period can be a difficult time. There are so many things to juggle: breastfeeding, caring for an infant, and adjusting to being a new parent. Youβre feeling like your old self isnβt coming back. The pressure to get back into shape, the stress of work, the lack of sleep; itβs enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed. ββββββββ
ββββββββ
Pregnancy changes everything β inside and out! So when youβre in that postpartum period where nothing is making sense anymore, take solace in knowing that youβre not alone. ββββββββ

During pregnancy + childbirth there are so many medical decisions being made that it's important to understand informed consent.β
β
Ultimately, as the patient, you have the right to make informed decisions about what is done to your body. β
β
If there is no medical emergency + neither you nor your baby are in danger, here are some things to ask yourself before proceeding in making a medical decision:β
β
β‘οΈ What are the benefits of the medical suggestion?β
β‘οΈ What are the risks or side effects?β
β‘οΈ Are there alternatives to the suggestion?β
β‘οΈ What is your birther intuition saying?β
β‘οΈ What might happen if no decision is made at that time?

-- MOTHERHOOD β β€οΈ
β
" Motherhood will turn you every whichβ
way you could imagine.β
You'll feel more emotions in a day thanβ
you ever cared to feel. β
You can go from thankfulness, toβ
pulling your unwashed hair out. in 3β
seconds flat.β
You will do things you said you wouldβ
never do. and your children will doβ
things you said your child would neverβ
do.β
You will be humbled. embarrassed.β
sweaty. unsure, and thankfulβ
you will wonder how so much loveβ
could fit in your heart and then youβ
will be smacked in the face with a sippyβ
cup.β
You will be tired for next million years,β
and you won't love every minute ofβ
being a mother... That's normal, and you're still a goodβ
mom.β
You'll cry tears of joy. and you'll cryβ
tears of sadness and frustration. you will google more than you ever knew someone could google.β
Motherhood will be more than youβ
could ever imagine, and nothing youβ
could have ever dreamed. β
It will break you over and over again." - Unknown via Pinterest
