For Fun I've been keeping track of how many calendar days I've spent at a birth since I began attending births. There are some doula births that I didn't track well enough to add to this list, but the majority of my births have all been recorded here. I'm excited to one day say I've been to enough to fill the whole year with babies!

Humorous and true

I've said it before, but I had such curiosity about where the ovaries go during pregnancy.. did they stretch to the top, stay near the cervix? Where do they go? Well here you have it ladies and gentlemen... the ovaries essentially stay in place on the uterus, but as it stretches they move upward in the abdomen.

🌸🤰✨ The Amazing Uterus! ✨🤰🌸

Did you know your uterus starts off about the size of a pear 🍐 before pregnancy… and by full term it’s the size of a watermelon 🍉?! 😱💪

That’s an organ that can stretch up to 500x its original size to grow and protect a baby 👶💖

As it expands, it doesn’t just grow upward, it literally rearranges your insides 🫀🫁🩻
• It pushes your stomach 🍲 and intestines 🍝 up and to the side
• It presses on your bladder 💦 (hello, extra bathroom trips 🚽😂)
• It even nudges your lungs 🫁 making it harder to take those deep breaths

Your body is basically remodeling your insides to make room for new life 🏠➡️👶✨

How incredible is that?! 🌍💜

🌟 A true reminder that pregnancy is POWERFUL, messy, miraculous, and nothing short of badass 💪🔥👑

-Love,

Life just keeps throwing me new challenges, but the word of the Lord is clear, we should be both strong and flexible, rooted in the house of the Lord and dependant on HIS Mercy.

Psalms 52:8 NKJV
[8] But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
