How to p**s off a surgeon!!! Don’t mess with their scrub!

Being a first-time mom postpartum is one of the most beautiful and vulnerable seasons of life. You’re healing, learning, adjusting, and giving your all, This often is all on no sleep, in a new body, and with a tiny human who relies on you for everything. Here are 7 things I wish every new mom knew walking into their postpartum journey: 1. Prioritize rest (your version of it). “Sleep when the baby sleeps” sounds good, but I say: Rest when the baby rests. That might mean showering, eating, crying, or just lying down. Do what your body needs. 2. Give yourself grace. You’re not meant to bounce back. You’re meant to recover, adjust, and become. You’re doing better than you think. 3. Breastfeeding is beautiful but also hard. Yes, it’s natural, but it’s also a skill that takes time. Whether you breastfeed, pump, combo feed, or formula feed fed and loved is always best. 4. Use your village. Accept help. Ask for support. You don’t have to do it alone, and you shouldn’t. 5. Get out of the house if you want to, but also, you don’t have to. Some days fresh air will save you. Other days, the couch and a nap are just fine. 6. Don’t forget your stool softeners. There’s a reason that we prescribed them. You will get through that first p**p. Trust me. 7. You are still you. Becoming a mom doesn’t erase who you are, but rather, it adds to her. Take time, find space, and honor her too. You’ve got this, mama. I believe in you!! 🫶🏻❤️❤️🫶🏻

HRT or hormone replacement therapy is often something women fear. More often than not however, this fear is rooted in outdated studies and misinformation. For the right woman, menopausal hormone therapy (HRT) can be absolutely life-changing. HRT isn’t just about easing hot flashes though, it can: • Improve bone health and reduce the risk of fractures • Reduce hot flashes and night sweats • Support mood stability and reduce menopausal anxiety or depression • Aid with sleep • Help with joint and muscle pain • Improve overall quality of life during the transition to menopause Of course, HRT isn’t the right choice for everyone. Personal and family history, age, risk factors and timing all matter. But if you’re struggling with symptoms of menopause, don’t suffer in silence. It’s time we take your menopause seriously. Ask your OB/GYN if you’re a good candidate for hormone therapy. Save this post and send to a friend who may be struggling. Drop your questions on menopause and hormones in the comments!

How much time do you need? in order to go home and sleep versus staying at the hospital and napping there?

One of the coolest things your body can do during pregnancy? Make antibodies for your baby before they’re even born. 🫶 The RSV vaccine given during pregnancy helps your body make RSV antibodies that cross the placenta and help protect baby during those vulnerable first months of life. For most babies, protection comes from either maternal RSV vaccination during pregnancy OR a long-acting RSV antibody after birth. If you’re 32–36 weeks pregnant during RSV season, ask your OB which option makes the most sense for you and your baby. 💉🤰

Honestly, you could show up to the hospital with nothing but your beautiful self and still leave with the most important thing, your baby. The hospital provides all the essentials: a gown, mesh panties, pads, extra toiletries, baby needs. So, then what do you need to pack? My recommendation is to focus more about bringing pieces of comfort, home, and you into this big, life changing experience. 5️⃣ Your own toiletries. There is something special about the first shower after birth. It’s magical, but it’s even better with your favorite body wash and your own shampoo and conditioner. 4️⃣Pajamas/loungewear. Once the birthing is done, it’s time to rest and recover. During this time you want to feel comfy! I loved having my cute Jammies, breastfeeding tips, but my favorite was my husband’s tee shirt and some athletic shorts. Just made me feel like home. 3️⃣Long charging cable. The beds are massive and far from the outlets often. You need at least a 10 foot cord to plug in your phone where you can still relax while keeping in touch with family, scrolling through on insta and sharing pictures of your sweet bundle of joy!! 2️⃣ Comfy footwear. For me it was hard bottom slippers, but for many it’s slides. You want something easy to slip on and off to walk to the bathroom, around the room, etc that’s easy and comfy cause, trust me, hospital floors are icky! And the most important thing to pack: 1️⃣🥇 A beach towel!!! Seriously. Imagine you get out of your first postpartum shower and you reach for a towel. What you grab though is a rough, white hotel-like towel that doesn’t even wrap around your new mom- bod. Bringing a high, soft beach towel gave me the comfort to leave the shower fully wrapped in soft warmth and full coverage. Your delivery bag doesn’t have to be perfect, but make it personal Save this list and share with a mama-to-be! What was the #1 item you were glad you packed? Drop it below!

Migraines make any day tough, but when you’re the on-call OB/GYN you’re balancing the migraine with deliveries, charting, and motherhood.

Like getting home in time for bedtime stories, goodnight kisses, and those little moments that mean everything.

I love being an OB/GYN, but the charting that comes with it? Not so much. 😂

That’s why I’ve been loving . It helps me spend less time documenting and more time doing what matters most… both inside and outside the exam room.

Because finishing my charts before I head home and getting to just be Mom?

PRICELESS. ❤️

Fellow healthcare workers, tell me I’m not the only one who dreams of closing my laptop AND being done for the day! 😂
