Holiday magic + birth planning = a lot on your plate.

If your due date lands near the holidays, you’re probably juggling family plans, last-minute prep, and all the emotions. It’s exciting, but it can also be overwhelming.

The good news it you CAN absolutely have a calm, cozy, and supported holiday birth. A little planning now goes a long way later.

What’s one thing you’re doing to prepare for a holiday-season birth?

Premature birth can happen for so many reasons.

Some known, some completely out of your control. Sometimes, even with the best care and intentions, your baby just decides to come early.

If there is one thing we want to emphasize is that “Premature” doesn’t mean you failed. It doesn’t mean your body let you down, and it most definitely doesn’t mean you weren’t ready to be a mom.

Every story looks different, but what stays the same is this: your love, your strength, and your ability to show up, day after day, even when it’s hard.

If your baby arrived early, be gentle with yourself, ask questions, lean on your support system, and take it one moment at a time 💙

You can be over-the-moon about your baby… and still struggle with the nausea, the sleepless nights, and the constant changes to your body. 💛

Pregnancy is beautiful, but it’s also uncomfortable, emotional, and unpredictable. You don’t have to love every second of it to still be an amazing mom.

If no one’s told you lately: it’s okay to feel grateful and tired, excited and overwhelmed. All can be true.

What’s been the hardest (or most unexpected) part of pregnancy for you so far?

You don’t have to dread postpartum in the colder months 🥶

Even as the days get shorter and cooler, there are small, simple ways to make life with a newborn a little cozier, and a lot easier on your body.

Make sure to save this as we start entering the colder months.

Postpartum depression isn’t always what you think.

It’s not just sadness or tears.

It can look like:

😡 Irritability

😴 Exhaustion

😶 Struggling to feel joy or connection

And yes, it’s treatable.

You don’t have to wait for a breaking point to get help.

You can absolutely have a healthy vegan pregnancy, it just takes a little extra awareness. 🥗

Your body’s working overtime to grow a baby and a healthy placenta, which means your nutrient needs naturally go up (especially protein and B12.)

And while meeting those needs on a plant-based diet takes more intention, it is possible with balance, variety, and giving yourself grace as you figure out what works best for you.

Every body, every pregnancy, and every plate looks different, and that’s okay.

✅ Share this with a friend who’s Vegan and expecting!

And if you have any questions, be sure to talk to your midwife at your next visit!

Halloween hits different when you’re pregnant.

The costumes, the candy, the long walks… it’s all fun until your body reminds you you’re carrying more than just a pumpkin 🎃

That’s why little things can make all the difference.

Here are a few ways to make it through trick-or-treating (or any Halloween outing) without overdoing it 👇

🍂Supportive shoes > cute-but-painful ones.

🍂 Keep water + protein snacks handy.

🍂 Pregnancy = unpredictable body temps, so layer, layer, layer! Easy layers keep you comfy.

🍂 Stay visible. If you’re out at night, reflective tape or a flashlight is a must.

🍂 Be mindful with candy. A piece or two is fine, but too much sugar can leave you tired, cranky, or queasy.

🍂Opt for a crossbody bag or backpack so you’re not juggling things. This will help you keep your hands free.

🍂 Most importantly…listen to your body! If you’re tired, sore, or not feeling right, call it a night.

You deserve to enjoy the holiday and feel good doing it 🧡

Share this post with someone entering their pregnancy era.

Sometimes the simplest gestures are the ones that mean the most when you’re pregnant 💛

It could be a listening ear, a home-cooked meal, someone showing up to an appointment, or just making space for rest. Those little things add up and can make a really big difference.

What’s one thing someone did for you during pregnancy that stuck with you?
