Prenatal education is an investment.

And sometimes your benefits can help cover it! 🙌🏻

Several families have successfully submitted their Begin With Baby class receipts for reimbursement.

Coverage varies by plan- but it’s absolutely worth asking.

Let me know if you need a detailed receipt for your class! 🫶🏻

When I ask how you’re doing postpartum, I mean it.

And I definitely want to know how you are really doing ❤️

Your body is healing, hormones are fluctuating, and you have a brand new identity… that is a ton all at once.

Take care of yourself, and find a friend who wants the long answer too 🫶🏻

Moms and dads navigating the early days - this post is for you 🫵

Newborn sleep is unpredictable, short, and often comes with frequent feeds and lots of cuddles. This isn’t because something is wrong - it’s completely normal.

Babies are biologically wired to feed frequently, sleep in short stretches, and rely on caregiver support to regulate their sleep and wake cycles 😴

It is reassuring to know that it won’t always be like this - your baby is learning, growing, and slowly finding their own sleep patterns.

The calmest births I’ve seen weren’t the quietest ones.

They weren’t always medicated, short or according to “plan”.

What they had in common was that the person in labour:

🌟 Understood what was happening.

🌟 Knew what contractions were doing.

🌟 Learned the difference between early and active labour.

🌟 Were aware of their options.

🌟 And their support person was informed and knew how they could help.

Calm doesn’t come from controlling birth, it comes from understanding it.

My prenatal classes focus on informing you so that you feel empowered instead of surprised.

I have a few spots available in my May 23rd class-if you’re pregnant and want to feel prepared, come join us! 🤍

If you’re preparing for pushing, here’s something you should know 👇

A warm compress during the pushing stage can help support your perineum as baby is being born.

The perineum is the area of skin and muscle between the vaginal opening and the a**s.
It’s the tissue that stretches as baby’s head crowns.

A warm compress can:
✨ Increase blood flow to the tissue
✨ Improve elasticity (how well it stretches)
✨ Help the perineum stretch more gradually
✨ Potentially reduce the severity of tearing

Think of it like warming up before a workout - warm tissue stretches more effectively than cold tissue.

This is something we talk about in all of my prenatal classes. If you want to learn more about how to support your perineum while pushing, feel free to message me “prenatal”! 🫶🏻

If you could only pick ONE, which of these items would you add to your hospital bag for labour?!

I personally would pick a pillow, because the hospital never has enough 🤦‍♀️ But a water bottle with a straw is also very helpful for some quick sips… it’s a tough one!

Let me know in the comments which one item is your must have! 🧐

Hey I’m Holly! 👋 A nurse teaching prenatal classes here in Peterborough ☺️

I truly believe that being informed leads to feeling empowered - and that quality prenatal education can improve the birth and early postpartum experience 🙌🏻

Whether this is your first baby or your next, my goal is to help you feel informed, confident and supported.

Thanks for following along! ✨

Here’s a labour truth: Your body may signal that it’s time to push when you feel like you need to p**p 💩

During the second stage of labour, your uterus, pelvic muscles, and baby work together to create an involuntary reflex- ✨ the urge to push ✨. Your health care team watches for this cue, because it’s a good sign that your baby may be ready to meet you!

So, if you feel the need to use the bathroom while in active labour, make sure to let your nurse know just in case 🤞🏻

Today’s prenatal class was so much fun! This amazing group of expecting parents brought good energy and even better questions 🥳

Together we learned all about labour and life with a newborn, with plenty of time for practicing real life skills like holding a baby, feeding, diapering, swaddling, and soothing 👶🏻

Parents left with all of their questions answered & confidence as they enter this new chapter.

Congratulations everyone! 🥰
