The placenta is our first home—an extraordinary organ that nourishes, protects, and supports life long before we enter the world.

The placenta works through specialized structures that support life before birth. Chorionic villi increase surface area for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste. The intervillous space holds maternal blood for this exchange. The umbilical cord connects baby and placenta, transporting oxygen and nutrients. The placenta also produces essential hormones that sustain pregnancy and regulate growth—making it the baby’s first life-support system.

And one more fact, our body grows this organ with each pregnancy!

Did you get a chance to see you baby’s first home after delivery?

“Breastfeeding is more than milk—it’s nourishment, bonding, and sometimes, struggle. During National Breastfeeding Month, let’s uplift every journey—no matter what it looks like, exclusive, mixed, pumped, or formula-supported. You’re doing beautifully.💛

It’s August, which means it’s officially National Breastfeeding Month and the start of World Breastfeeding Week!
The 2025 theme for National Breastfeeding Month is “Forward Together”—a reminder that real change happens when families, funders, policymakers, and advocates work as a united front.
World Breastfeeding Week’s global theme this year is “Prioritize Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems”—and that’s exactly what BreastfeedLA does.
I’m supporting BreastfeedLA all month long because I believe every family deserves access to informed, culturally rooted, community-led lactation care. If you do too, please consider donating:bit.ly/supportBFLA2025

There’s something sacred about holding space for new life to enter the world. Being a doula fills my heart in ways I can’t describe — its purpose, in passion, and presence all wrapped into one.

But just as fulfilling? Coming home. Washing my hands. Tying my apron. And cooking a meal for the people I love most.

Birth work and home life may seem like two different worlds, but for me, they’re deeply connected. Nourishing others — whether in the delivery room or around the dinner table — is my love language. 💛
📸 caught me in my element cooking for the ones I love.
