Surrender is so important in birth. While a natural physiological birth is ideal, it isn't always ideal. Some instances require a bit more help and a bit more surrender.

I experienced this with the birth of my 6th baby and I want you to know that nothing is wrong with you if need or want an intervention during birth or if your plans change.

You need to surrender to the process.

You are not broken.

You are not weak.

An intervention isn't always bad.

Some instances where I encourage an epidural:

Maternal exhaustion
Maternal anxiety
Maternal fear
Prolonged labor
Excess tension where mom can't relax
Excess pain
Baby in an unfavorable position

These are just some examples of when an epidural or birth intervention might be helpful.

Follow along where I will soon be sharing the birth story of baby 6. It's not at all what I imagined it would be, but it is everything I needed it to be. ❤️

Mother's day isn't always what you had hoped. Some moms hope that they will get a special gift they have been wanting, they will get to rest, or their house will be kept clean all day. Others are longing for a baby of their own or mourning the loss of a child.

Regardless of how this Mother's day goes, just remember that your children are a blessing. They are what make you a mama.

Take a moment to pause and really look around at all of the blessings in your life.

Laugh it off if things don't go as planned and enjoy the moment.

Mother's day is just one day. You are a mama every day.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful moms out their. Your children would be lost without you. Let that sink in.

Remember that if you are hurting, your heavenly father will bring you comfort.

"As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you." -Isaiah 66:13

It's February, that means it's the month of love. ❤️

Did you know that as a woman gets closer to delivering her baby she will start to release more oxytocin? Oxytocin is the love hormone and is very beneficial for labor!

What are some ways to increase oxytocin?

❤️ dim the lights
❤️ cozy up
❤️ increase warmth
❤️ hugs
❤️ snuggles
❤️ warm drinks
❤️ kissing

Comment "love" and I will send you my hand drawn oxytocin handout. 🥰

Please help me figure this out! Did you have a NIPT blood draw during pregnancy and they ran Monosomy X regardless of baby's gender? This does not in any way take away from those families who's babies do have Monosomy X. Please be respectful. ❤️
