Halloween might be just around the corner, but there’s nothing scarier than spitting pink into the sink or waking up to a surprise nosebleed in pregnancy 🧛🏻‍♀️

The good news? It’s incredibly common, and usually nothing to worry about. Up to 75% of pregnant people experience bleeding gums, and around 1 in 5 get nosebleeds, thanks to rising hormones and up to 50% more blood circulating through your body. Spooky? Yes! But for most moms, symptoms ease in the weeks after birth.

We made this post to explain why it happens and what actually helps. However, always check in with your provider if bleeding is heavy, frequent, or comes with headaches or vision changes.

At Sanhu House, we believe postpartum care should be for the mother as much as the baby. Rooted in Korean sanhujori, our team supports your recovery, rest and nourishment in those first precious weeks, so you can heal while we help care for your little one.

Save this for later, or send it to someone who’s expecting 🦷🤍

“Postpartum looks so good on you” 🤍

It’s not just the glow. It’s the support behind it.

Your doula prepares a warm, nourishing breakfast. Draws a herbal foot soak. Takes the baby so you can run a bath and read more than one page of your book. She notices what you need before you have to ask.

The fourth trimester was never meant to be done alone. Let us take care of you.

Thank you JENNY ESPINAL for the inspo on this one 🫶🏻

“What do Sanhu House moms actually eat?” 🍲

We get asked this a lot, so here’s a peek inside the kitchen at Chébona, our fourth trimester meal and tea partner.

- Warming breakfast porridges
- Soups & stews to rebuild from the inside
- Slow-simmered broths
- Tonics & teas for milk supply and calm
- Protein-forward dinners
- Lactation snacks & treats

Good tasty food is one of the fastest ways to support hormone balance, energy, and milk supply in the fourth trimester. That’s why nutrition is one of our three core recovery pillars.

Every Sanhu House mom gets a direct introduction to Chébona (and a discount code too!). From there, you work with them to build a meal plan around recovery, not restriction, and you choose what fits your tastes, schedule, and budget.

Have questions about the menu? Book a call with us today. 🤍

Every culture that has ever truly honoured motherhood has known one thing - the mother needs to be held too 🕊️

Swipe through to see how six different cultures around the world celebrate and protect the fourth trimester. Whether it’s through food, ritual, rest, or community care. The message is the same everywhere - a mother who is cared for, heals better.

At Sanhu House, this isn’t just philosophy. It’s personal.

Our founder is Korean-American, and that heritage is woven into everything we do - every meal, every cup of barley tea, every footsoak is prepared with intention. We know we didn’t reinvent the wheel, we just honoured an ancient one, and brought it to the moms of LA and Orange County.

Because in our story, the mother is always at the centre.

If you’re navigating the fourth trimester, we’d love to support you. And if you’ve experienced a beautiful postpartum tradition from your own culture - we genuinely want to hear it! 💚

We talk about holding the mother, a lot. But what does that actually look like?

At Sanhu House, every day we meet moms who are incredible, courageous, and completely selfless - always the last one to think of themselves.

We get it (trust us, we’ve lived it too!) And we know that putting everyone else first, all the time, takes a toll.

So here, we make it simple: mom comes first.

That means enough sleep. Real rest. Nourishing food. Warmth and comfort. And a familiar face - a dedicated doula who knows her name, her story, and her worries - so she never has to figure it all out alone.

This is what we’re talking about - this is what holding the mother looks like to us. 🤍

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

When we talk about postpartum, we often picture a newborn baby being held in someone’s arms. But for many families, postpartum comes after loss and that can look completley different. Often there’s still a body healing, milk that may still come in and a deep, heavy grief that has nowhere to go.

This is the postpartum no one talks about but we will because we want to make space for it. If you’re in it right now, please be gentle with yourself and know that your loss is real, your recovery matters, and you deserve support, however long it takes.

If you’re supporting someone, read this for a few small ways we suggest you can show up 🤍

On October 15th at 7pm, we’ll be lighting a candle for every baby who is missed and every family who carries them.

If you need someone to talk to, Postpartum Support International is there: 1-800-944-4773 or postpartum.net or follow them Postpartum Support International

Most people spend nine months planning for birth, and almost no time planning for what comes after.

Too many think birth is the finish line but we know from our experience it’s actually just the start.

The fourth trimester deserves the same care as the nine months before it. Who’s holding the baby so you can shower? Who’s bringing you food? Who’s there at midnight when you’ve tried everything but can’t get the baby to settle?

Book a call with us and we’ll help you plan postpartum care before the baby arrives, not scramble for it after!

$65 an hour. No minimums.🌿

Mi-Yuk-Gook (미역국) is the soup every Korean mother eats after birth - sometimes three times a day for the first three weeks.

It’s simple: seaweed, aromatics, a fat source, soy sauce, water. What comes out is iron-rich, deeply savory, and does not ask anything of you when you’re already giving everything to a newborn.

Why it matters postpartum:

- Iron replenishment after blood loss
- Iodine for thyroid + energy regulation
- Supports lactation and hydration
- Calcium and magnesium for bone and muscle recovery

This is our Sanhu House recipe. Save it. Make a big batch. Keep it on the stove.
