Attention all pregnant mamas! Planning for a baby can be overwhelming, especially when thinking about your birth. Here are a few questions to ask yourself about your birth.

01/20/2023

There are many different options when it comes to choosing where you want to give birth. Hospitals, birthing centers, and at home are a few options to consider when planning your birth. Being in a place and having people around that support YOU is critical for the birthing mama.

Are you giving birth in a place that's going to support what you want?

The 5-5-5 Rule✨

Have you heard of the 5-5-5 rule for postpartum?

Rest is an extremely important part of the postpartum period. When a mom lacks proper rest, she is at higher risk for postpartum complications. Your body heals the best when it has rest, nourishment, hydration, and less stress.

The first 5 days are spent in the bed, lying flat, not sitting up unless you are eating or nursing, where the focus is on skin to skin and bonding with your baby, resting, and sleeping when the baby sleeps. The only time you should get out of bed is to use the bathroom.

The next 5 days are spent on the bed. During this time you should still limit sitting up, activity and focus on resting, mostly lounging in the bed.

The last 5 days are spent being near the bed. During this time you can try light activity and being away from the bed for 30 minutes, but then resting.🌸

There are so many options for your placenta even if you don't want to consume it. Having it made into powdered form for houseplant nourishment, burying it under a tree, and having keepsakes/prints made are all great alternatives!

Batch of placenta capsules delivered today🤍

It's super beneficial for the postpartum mama to start taking the capsules as soon as possible after birth. Placentophagy can help decrease postpartum depression/baby blues and stress hormones, while increasing oxytocin, iron levels, and milk supply!
