The more stagnant you keep your body in labor the longer it takes contractions to stretch muscles, tissues, and your pelvic floor (which is made up of...yup...the same). I'm not saying your body will not or cannot push past you being stagnant during pregnancy. But it does often slow down your labor and increase the likelihood you will wear out before your baby is here.

So. How do we assist that? Movement during pregnancy! Stretching is fantastic because it helps your body relax and release. Walking is amazing!! It will help you regulate your blood sugars so that you do not deal with gestational diabetes, but it also will keep your pelvis moving. And there are so many more movements we can talk about!!

Let's chat if you want to know more!!

It's summer here in TX and that means dehydration is something that most Texas deal with whether they are pregnant or not. But for pregnant mamas dehyration can lead to prodromal labor, and prodromal labor is not very fun.
Pro-tip: Drink at least 100oz of water every day + at least 8oz of ReLyte or Rowe Casa electrolytes every day. If you are going to be outside adjust as needed.

If you have gestational diabetes or notice that your fasting glucose and other glucose numbers are higher you are likely not consuming enough protein. Working with a functional nutritionist will help you get exact numbers for you, but a general example would be that a 5'5" pregnant mama should be consuming 2600 calories. 160+ grams of that should be protein, and then include your fats, fiber, and carbs. Your body does need carbs, but it also needs healthy carbs not fried, based in flour and sugar, or other unhealthy carbs. So think mashed sweet potatoes (without sugar and marshmallows), roasted broccoli, asparagus, and so on.

What other things would you like tips and tricks for?

On May 17th the B family labored quickly and welcomed their sweet baby girl!! Mom and dad advocated well for themselves, and their best friend and I interceded as we also helped mama navigate contractions completely naturally. Sweet baby girl came quickly and beautifully in a stunning VBAC where the presence of the Lord was tangible!! So proud of them!!!

On 5/15 the B family worked so very hard and advocated for themselves so well! Even with rapidly shifting birth plans and even delivery locations to keep mom and baby safe and healthy, mom and dad took everything well in hand. There were tears, and laughter, and jokes, and so much strength from mom, dad, and baby boy. So proud of them!!!!
Help me congratulate the B family!!!

Help me congratulate the M family!!! Sweet baby boy arrived just 1 hr after we made it to the birth center May 10th. Mama labors super fast so when she let me know things felt off early that morning I immediately took my children to childcare. By the time my kids were dropped off mom was past early labor and ready for me so I hopped the toll road and got to her 20 minutes later. Helped her pack her bag and get to the car so she was ready to go when dad got home shortly after. And then we flew to the birth center! It was a rapid and speedy birth! Truly beautiful in every way!!
Congrats M family!! Yall did so amazing!!! So proud of yall!

Mamas. Take a moment today and do a small something to build ahead for tomorrow. Don’t bite off something huge. Just a small something works. If you are pregnant just make double of whatever your dinner is tonight and then freeze half of it. Wrote reheating instructions on the package and put a small piece of packing tape on top of the instructions so they don’t run off in the freezer. You now have 1 freezer meal you love that your husband can easily reheat postpartum for y’all.
If you are postpartum make a few extra eggs and prep some breakfast burritos for the next couple of mornings. Super simple and easy! If you have multiple older children who occasionally refuse breakfast just recycle those eggs. Take a pound of ground beef that you’ve browned and split between two glass containers, dump some beans on top. Tomorrow snag one and reheat it, top with Greek yogurt and shredded cheese and salsa. You now have an easy taco bowl.
Find the simple things to make your life easier. I literally made 16 breakfast sandwiches yesterday because I had to make at least 6 and might as well make all of the ones that I could in the moment. I now have 6 breakfast sandwiches for my kids the next time I go to a birth and then 4 extra for my husband’s breakfasts. Then today I made 8 burritos/tacos with leftover eggs from breakfast.
It doesn’t have to be hard! But a few minutes extra today makes tomorrow easier if you don’t feel good, have a big event, need a backup meal, or have a fussy child or baby.
You’ve got this!!!
