It’s common to feel some cramping or pressure during insertion, and your body may need a few days or weeks to adjust. Mild spotting or a slightly heavier period at first is totally normal too.

Everyone’s experience is unique, and your gynecologist is there to guide you and make sure your IUD is working comfortably for you. With a little time and care, most people settle in quickly and feel great.🤍

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, most commonly in a fallopian tube.

Understanding risk factors like prior infections or surgeries and discussing your history with your healthcare provider can help with early detection and planning.

While uncommon, ectopic pregnancies are manageable with awareness, timely care, and the right medical support.

Preparing for labor? Gentle techniques like the Miles Circuit, birthing ball exercises, and strategic positioning can help your baby move into the best position for birth.

Natural supports—like ni**le stimulation, raspberry leaf tea, or dates—may also encourage contractions, but always consult your healthcare provider before trying stronger methods.

Safe, informed approaches help your body and baby get ready for a smoother labor.

Let’s talk about what really happens to your body after birth…

Pregnancy changes the way you stand, move, and support your spine—and those changes don’t immediately disappear once the baby arrives.

If you’ve ever wondered why your core feels weak, why your back is sore, or what diastasis recti actually means for healing, you’re not alone.

Your abdominal muscles stretched for months, your posture shifted, and your deep core needs time to wake back up again.

And while movement and proper mechanics are key, the right postpartum support garment can make daily life a whole lot more comfortable as everything reconnects.

Every postpartum body heals at its own pace—there’s no “bouncing back,” only rebuilding with care 🤍

You can read the full article on Momcozy (linked on my story!) for a deeper dive into how your spine and core heal after birth.

Let’s talk about C-sections.

Many births happen this way, sometimes planned, sometimes unexpected.

While not always part of the original birth plan, C-sections are often the safest choice for mom or baby.

During the procedure, you’ll be awake but numb from the waist down, and your baby is usually born within the first few minutes.

Our goal is a calm, supported environment focused on safety and bonding, helping you feel prepared and confident no matter how your birth unfolds.

Let’s talk about postpartum bleeding. After giving birth, it’s normal to experience bleeding called lochia as your body sheds blood and tissue from the uterus.

This bleeding often lasts a few weeks and gradually becomes lighter.

Small clots can be common, especially after resting or sleeping, but clots larger than a golf ball or soaking a pad in under an hour may signal something more serious.

If bleeding suddenly increases or you experience dizziness, fever, or chills, contact your provider right away.

Trust your instincts—if something doesn’t feel right, it’s always okay to reach out for support.

This is your cervix during labor. Throughout labor, the cervix undergoes a remarkable transformation, gradually dilating from a closed state to about 10 cm to allow your baby to pass through the birth canal.

This process, known as cervical dilation, is accompanied by effacement — the thinning and softening of the cervix.

These changes happen over hours or even days and are driven by powerful contractions and hormonal signals, preparing your body for delivery.

Understanding this process can help you feel more informed and connected during labor.
