Happy Thanksgiving!

No matter what your day looks like...full of family, full of food, or just full of feelings, try to find one thing to be grateful for.

A laugh. A breath. A bit of quiet. Some days, that’s more than enough.

You see, gratitude has a way of grounding us. And whether your week feels calm or chaotic, joyful or heavy, remember: you are not walking it alone. We are grateful for you.

From all of us at Cornerstone, we wish you peace, joy, and a heart full of thanksgiving. 🦃

If you need a bit of extra help this holiday season, we're here for you: cornerstoneanswers.org

Important reminder as we head into thanksgiving weekend: It’s okay to not feel grateful every second.

Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything is perfect, especially when your nervous system KNOWS its not. Gratitude is about seeing good in the middle of the unknown. Even in seasons of waiting, change, or challenge, there’s always a small light to be found.

You are brave for showing up each day.

You are strong for continuing forward.

We’re so grateful to walk this journey with you, to remind one another that gratitude isn’t a feeling, it’s a choice to see grace right where we are.

So keep going - you've got this!

Mama, your body is doing incredible work. Sometimes well-meaning people only talk about the hard parts of the firs trimester...the nausea, the exhaustion, the mood swings...you know the drill.

But every one of those changes means your body is creating something beautiful. Look closer and see the purpose in each moment.

You are powerful, capable, and already nurturing life. 🌿

Everyone’s Talking About the “Best” Pregnancy Tests…

Search online and you’ll find hundreds of articles about the “best” pregnancy test...the most accurate, the fastest, the newest brand.

But here’s what most don’t mention:

• They cost money, and sometimes more than you expect.

• You’re left to interpret the results alone (is that a line or not?).

• You may or may not have support around you when you see that result.

• And after the test… you’re often left wondering, what now?

At Cornerstone Women’s Health Center, our pregnancy tests are 100% free - and you’ll never walk through the process alone.

You’ll get accurate results, caring support, and space to breathe and talk about your next steps.

Because you deserve more than just a test. You deserve care.

Call us today at 440-284-1010 to schedule, or visit https://cornerstoneanswers.org/ to see our appointment availability.

Fall is for the cozy moments, the warm drinks, the soft sweaters, and the beautiful new beginnings. 🍂

We just read the sweetest article from The Bump about creative ways to announce a pregnancy, and it sparked so much inspiration. 💭

From a cozy snapshot with your favorite fall latte to tiny booties nestled in a pile of leaves… or even a “Little Pumpkin on the Way” reveal, there are endless ways to make your moment special. However you choose to share, let it reflect you. 💛

And if you’re not ready to share just yet, that’s perfectly okay. Every journey is personal. You're not alone. We’re here to listen, support, and walk alongside you every step of the way.

Need someone to talk to or looking for resources? Call us at (440) 284-1010 - we’re here for you.

Getting good sleep during pregnancy can feel impossible. You’ve heard all the usual advice, but what actually works when nothing feels comfortable?

Here's a few mom-approved ideas:

1️⃣ Use a frozen water bottle wrapped in a towel as a foot cooler. It helps reduce swelling and brings quick relief.

2️⃣ Aim a small fan at your legs instead of cooling the whole room. It keeps you comfortable without making you too cold.

3️⃣ Try the elevated knees trick - place a pillow or folded blanket under your knees while lying on your side to ease back and hip tension.

4️⃣ Eat a banana or a few almonds before bed. The magnesium and potassium help calm your muscles for better rest.

5️⃣ Take a “reverse nap” in the morning if your night was rough. Fifteen minutes of quiet rest can help your body reset.

Every pregnancy is different, but comfort is possible, sometimes it just takes a few...creative changes.

You have a voice...and it matters. 💬💚

Facing an unplanned pregnancy can be overwhelming, especially when you’re unsure how to speak up in a doctor’s office or don’t know what questions to ask. You might feel rushed, dismissed, or like your voice doesn’t matter. But it does.

That's why we just published a new article on self‑advocacy during pregnancy.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

➡️ Speak up in medical settings

➡️ Ask the right questions and understand your rights

➡️ Set boundaries and trust your gut

and more!

Whether you’re navigating tough conversations, uncertain decisions, or simply need support, we’re always here to listen at (440) 284‑1010.

Each October, we place an empty chair in our lobby to remember the lives lost to relationship violence and to honor the voices that are still unheard. And while we remember those who can no longer speak, we also stand ready to help those who still can.

If you are pregnant and facing an unsafe or controlling relationship, you are not alone. Making an appointment at Cornerstone can be a safe first step. You can come to talk, to confirm a pregnancy, or simply to be heard. If you share what’s happening, we will listen and help connect you to the right support.

All conversations at Cornerstone are confidential, and you are in control of who gets to learn and listen. Our team takes that trust seriously and will connect you with safe, compassionate support when you need it most.

As always, if you are in an emergency or in immediate danger, call 911 right away.

If you need confidential support, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline:

Sooooo… now what?

You’ve made it through pregnancy, the hospital stay, and those first sleepless nights. But now you’re home, staring at this tiny person thinking, they really just let me take this baby home?

If you've felt this, or you're feeling this right now, you're probably thinking "there’s no manual for this part". And while that's true, (well… technically there are about a dozen at Barnes & Noble), that probably doesn’t feel all that helpful at 2 a.m. when the baby won’t sleep and you can’t remember the last time you ate something warm.

That’s where Cornerstone Answers comes in. We’re here to help from pregnancy through your child’s second birthday with real support, practical guidance, and people who get it.

Because you don’t have to figure it all out alone. You just have to take the next step, and we’ll walk with you.

Oh, and right now... just breathe. You've got this!
