? During pregnancy, your baby gets “first dibs” on the nutrients you ingest, leaving you with the “leftovers”. This is why prenatals aren’t just for baby, but to help you replace the nutrients and vitamins that the baby takes. On top of prenatals, ensure you’re eating balanced meals so that you and baby are at your healthiest!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

? Even after you birth the placenta, your uterus will still experience contractions—this is how the uterus shrinks back to size and helps to mitigate excess bleeding postpartum. The contractions should feel more like period cramps, and should lessen in intensity with each day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

? The placenta is still one of the most mysterious organs of the human body, while also the single most important one when it comes to sustaining a pregnancy. Our bodies create the placenta to nourish a fetus, and once we give birth, it ejects it almost literally during the afterbirth 😅 at the time of birth, the placenta weighs about 1-2 lbs alone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

? S***m can live inside a person’s uterus for up to 5 days, and ovulation lasts 12-48 hours. So, you could potentially have s*x on a Friday, not ovulate until Monday, but the s***m from Friday could result in conception at the point of ovulation. This is why people note an ovulation/fertility window, as unprotected s*x during that window could result in pregnancy, depending on the actual day of ovulation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

TW/CW: mention of infant loss, miscarriage, and stillbirth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
October is Infant Loss Awareness Month, and October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day—so I wanted to dedicate this week’s affirmation to the 1 in 4. One in 4 pregnant people will experience a pregnancy-related loss of some kind: during pregnancy, delivery, or infancy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was not your fault. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Your baby was loved. Your baby was wanted. Doesn’t matter how far along you were or weren’t. Not being able to hold your baby doesn’t make you any less than a parent. Having other children before, or even after, doesn’t lessen your pain. Your feelings, your sadness, your grief are all valid. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nothing you did made you “deserving” of what happened. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feel. Grieve. Cry. Scream. Do whatever you have to do. But continue to remind yourself that you are not to blame for any loss you have experienced. A piece of you may have been lost—but you are still whole. Be kind and gentle to yourself today, and all days. 💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

? A study in 2006 found a link between taller women and the probability of spontaneous twins. The link is expected to be due to “insulin-like growth factor” (IGF), which has been positively linked to both height and twins. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

There’s a common misconception that gentle parenting lacks discipline. On the contrary, it requires a lot of discipline—starting with us as the parent. As we model this behavior when parenting our children, while unpacking our own childhood experiences and in spite of them, we in turn teach our children better ways to navigate through life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

? During pregnancy, your heart volume increases by 30-50% to help sustain your baby, which causes your heart to pump more blood each minute. This increase can cause a slight enlargement of the heart during pregnancy, as well as strengthen your heart muscles as they work harder to accommodate the extra blood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, if you have a history of cardiovascular issues you may need to work closely with your doctor on safely managing these changes and stresses throughout your pregnancy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
