Birth is powerful and you are so strong! πŸ’ͺ🏼 The energy expenditures required for labor mean that restricting food and water intake is just an outdated policy. Eating and drinking based on your hunger cues (some women feel nauseous and don't want to eat - also normal!) is a better method for supporting physiological birth.

In early labor a meal that has some energy sustaining elements like cheese, meat sticks or oats can help fuel you. In active labor something more quickly digestible is usually mor helpful such as a honey stick or fruit.

The midwifery model of care supports informed-decision making because its one of the best ways for you to be an active participant in your care. We always encourage taking a quality childbirth education class, provide you with personalized education around your pregnancy and support during prenatal appointments to empower decision making about your own body and baby because birth is a moment that can change you forever. πŸ’–

If intermittent monitoring and freedom of movement are part important parts of your birth plan you need to make sure that your birth team and place of birth supports those choices. Home birth can offer the greatest flexibility because we will meet you where you and your baby are and encourage you to try new positions to help your labor progress.

πŸ₯± Is it Friday yet? 😴

Newborns actually sleep quite a bit (I know, you didn't think they did πŸ˜…) it's just that their sleep in broken into many short windows and sleep patterns can vary a lot. Don't be surprised if your newborn is only awake for 30-90 minutes at a time early on.

If you're feeling sleep deprived make sure you have a support system in place early.

It's important to make sleep part of your postpartum planning discussions. Think about your support circle and write down names of people you can call on. Who can come help you when you need a break? Will your husband have paternity leave? Can your mom or sister stay with you? Everyone's situations are different, but it's important to discuss this BEFORE baby arrives and you find yourself running on empty. πŸ’€

Becoming a mother to a new baby can be intimidating, it can make you doubt yourself. Just remember that whether this is your first baby, your third or your sixth, YOU were chosen by God to be their mother and you are doing a great job.

That doesn't mean we should be doing it all alone though - text a friend when your baby goes down for a nap today and make a plan to get together this week. πŸ’–

Taking an evidence-based Childbirth Education class is one of the best things you can do to prepare for birth and Angela and Mila tailor this class specifically to home birth plans. It gives you and your partner a chance to emotionally prepare for birth together, practice comfort measures and learn about the physiology of birth.
