Part of my first pumping session of the day. Most of us get the most milk from the first session of the day. I'm happy with my supply as it's only been a couple of weeks since my son was born. I had to start pumping early on as he was not strong enough to take a full feeding from the breast because he was born early. We would top him off with my milk in a bottle. I'm happy to say we no longer have to supplement with the bottle though.

Today is International Bereaved Mother's Day. This day honors mothers who have lost a child. It's also a day to recognize women who cannot be a mother due to infertility or other health reasons.

If you know someone who has lost a child or is on the journey of infertility, I always encourage you to have a conversation with them(if they are open to it) to get an understanding of where they are in their journey and how you can love and support them.

For me, I have been pretty open about my journey to motherhood and my losses. It's something that helps me handle my grief. The pain of the loss never goes away, I just been able to manage my feelings as I go about my daily life.

To my fellow bereaved mothers, I see you, and I am here if you need me ❤.

“Home Birth: Cord Burning Ceremony I chose to have this ceremony as a tribute to my ancestors, to reestablish the traditions of the granny midwives, to seal the power intimacy and magic from the labor and delivery with all of the energy from everyone present while protected by all of our ancestors. Traditionally as a people we burn 🔥 not cut the umbilical cord as it is less traumatic spiritual when disconnecting baby and the placenta. The ceremony also slows things down in after birthing space to create a deeper intimacy with everyone present. Each person holding candles set intentions for the baby and mother. With this being my last pregnancy I want to also seal this chapter of my life with love and gratitude. I am so grateful to my midwife for supporting me with wanting to do this ceremony.

I am grateful to for capturing these pure moments. It is so important for black birth and traditions to be archived and shared. There is so much beauty and knowledge that has yet to be seen. I want my fellow Queen Sisters/Mothers to know that they can birth the way they want, they have the power to birth safely and to advocate for themselves by listening to their inner voice and trust their bodies. Please consider getting a Doula and look at all of your birthing space options.”

It's unfortunate she had to defend herself for her choices. What are your thoughts?
