Third time mom who after 12 years was able to have the birth she always wanted… such precious moments…. Truly honoured to be a part of such beautiful moments with mom and baby 💝🥰

Feedback from mothers are always valuable to me. It helps me feel grounded and keeps me motivated to continue this work no matter what the challenges. And when a third time mom continues to come back and seek out help after labour, after early days of postpartum, through her journey as a mom…. It means the world

If tearing is one of your biggest fears about vaginal birth, here’s what you can actually do about it. 🤍

The goal isn’t to guarantee a “tear-free” birth—because no technique can promise that.

But how you prepare during pregnancy and how you’re supported during labour can matter.

Here are a few things worth discussing with your birth team:

✨ Keep moving during pregnancy
Work on overall mobility, pelvic movement and comfortable positions that help you feel connected to your body.

✨ Learn to relax your pelvic floor
Birth preparation isn’t only about strengthening. Learning how to release and relax your pelvic floor is also important.

✨ Consider perineal massage from around 34–35 weeks
Evidence suggests it may reduce perineal trauma requiring stitches, particularly for first-time vaginal births, and may reduce ongoing perineal pain.

But here’s the important nuance: it does NOT guarantee that you won’t tear, and it hasn’t been shown to prevent every type of tear.

✨ Talk about your birth positions BEFORE labour
Ask your doctor or midwife whether you can move freely and use upright, side-lying or forward-leaning positions during labour if everything is going well.

You don’t have to assume that giving birth means lying flat on your back.

✨ Ask about warm compresses during pushing
Warm perineal compresses may reduce the risk of more severe perineal tears and can also feel soothing.

And perhaps the most important preparation of all:

Know what your care team supports.

Ask them:

“Will I be able to change positions during labour?”

“Can I push in an upright or forward-leaning position?”

“Do you support warm compresses during pushing?”

Because birth preparation isn’t about controlling every outcome.

It’s about preparing your body, understanding your options, and choosing supportive care.

And if you do experience a tear, remember:

You did not fail. Your body did not fail.

Save this for your birth preparation and share it with a mama-to-be who needs to hear this. 🤍

“My milk hasn’t come in yet.”

This is one of the most common worries I hear in the first few days after birth. 🤍

But often, what we really mean is: “I’m not seeing the larger volumes of milk I expected.”

Colostrum is milk — your baby’s first milk.

Your body begins producing it during pregnancy, and after birth, your baby receives this concentrated first milk in small amounts. Those small volumes are physiologically appropriate for a newborn who is feeding frequently in the early days.

Then, after the placenta is delivered, progesterone levels fall dramatically. This allows prolactin to support the transition towards increasing milk production over the following days.

So those few drops are not “nothing.”

They contain protein, secretory IgA and numerous other immune and protective components that support your newborn during this transition into life outside the womb.

Understanding what is normal physiology can make those first few days feel very different.

Because sometimes the reassurance a new mother needs isn’t simply, “Don’t worry, your milk will come.”

It’s understanding that colostrum is already milk. 🤍

Save this for your first few days postpartum — or send it to a pregnant mother who needs to know this before she needs it.

Have you ever felt a sudden wave of sadness, dread, anxiety or irritability while breastfeeding and then felt completely fine again a minute or two later?

There may be a name for that experience: D-MER — Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex.

D-MER is linked to the milk-ejection or let-down reflex. The emotional shift is usually brief, comes on suddenly, and settles once milk begins to flow.

One of the most important things to understand is this:

It does not mean you don’t love your baby.
It does not mean you don’t want to breastfeed.
And it is not simply “in your head.”

Current evidence suggests D-MER is a physiological response related to the hormonal changes around milk release, although research is still evolving.

The key clue is often the timing.

If difficult emotions are also happening outside breastfeeding or pumping, are persistent, or are affecting your daily life, please speak with your healthcare provider, because D-MER and postpartum mood disorders can coexist.

Sometimes understanding what your body is doing is the first step towards feeling less confused by it.

Save this post or share it with a new mother who may need to know this.

Some breastfeeding consultations stay with you. 🤍

Not because everything suddenly became easy.

But because you get to witness a mother decide, again and again, “I’m going to keep trying.”

Through the pain.
Through the doubts.
Through the exhaustion.
Through feeds that didn’t go as planned.

And then slowly, things begin to shift.

A better latch.
A more comfortable feed.
A mother who understands what is happening.
A little more confidence than she had yesterday.

When a consultation goes well, the most beautiful part isn’t feeling like I fixed something.

It’s watching a mother realise how capable she is — and seeing her resilience turn into confidence.

Breastfeeding support is sometimes about technique.

But so much of it is also about listening, reassuring, problem-solving together, and helping a mother find a way forward that works for her and her baby.

And when you see that happen… it is incredibly fulfilling. 🤍

To every mother who keeps showing up for one more feed, one more attempt, one more day — your effort deserves to be seen. 🌿
