Baby number 3 brought up lots of difficulty, but baby number 4 has been so sweet for us 🤍

If postpartum has been hard on your marriage, know that it doesn’t have to be this way every time, but it will take growth, change, awareness, and willingness from both of you.

What would you add to the list?

What does Jesus have to do with periods, fertility, and birth? Everything.

Jesus has everything to do with female reproductive health and I won’t stop talking about it anytime soon.

Six weeks ago today my 7 year old was in a saga of health problems and I was past my due date.

I was on the phone with her doctor trying to figure out what her next steps were before the baby arrived. We had finally gotten some answers and made a solid plan.

For weeks as this health saga unfolded, I had been asking myself the question, “how much more can I possibly handle?”

In that phone call, I felt myself finally becoming able to turn the issue over to my daughter’s doctor and my mom to take over for awhile.

With that mental weight off my plate, I had 2 contractions on our 8 minute phone call and I knew things were picking up.

Within a few hours, active labor set in and we were calling our birth team. We had planned to have my daughters with us during labor, but I knew instead that I needed the space to focus solely on me, my body, and my newest baby.

There is so much to gain from being pushed to your limits. AND, it is equally true that there is so much to gain from calling in a team, letting go, and surrendering to an easy yoke.

That’s been the theme for me in this childbearing season. I’m used to carrying heavy burdens, but how much of that was even meant for me?

Instead, the Holy Spirit has been gently moving me in the other direction, experimenting with how light of a load I can possibly pick up.

I’ve been focusing on this verse, and if you’re a stressed out woman, I invite you to do the same. When you learn to take some things off your plate, you will be free to truly bring forth life 🤍

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭NLT‬‬

We gotta start talking about what happens to men after the birth of their baby.

While the attention is mostly on a mother’s postpartum hormones (and for good reason), it’s important to know that men experience postpartum hormone shifts, too.

➡️ And they aren’t always easy for a new father to navigate.

Research suggests that dads experience a rise in prolactin toward the end of pregnancy and in the immediate postpartum period.

Prolactin is most famously known as the breastfeeding hormone, but when dads respond to their baby, their prolactin rises as well. This is great because it aids in the relationship between dad and baby.

But the kicker is this 👉🏽 When prolactin rises, testosterone can drop.

Lower testosterone can decrease energy, motivation, and libido.

Here’s what you need to know 📣 Though we barely talk about it, 10-12% of new dads will experience postpartum depression, too.

So if you love a new father, check in on his mental health!

And if you found this interesting, I teach it more in-depth in my 16 week program, The Kamdoula Collective, for women who want to optimize their fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum experience. Comment/DM me the word COLLECTIVE and I’ll send you the details.

Every tired mom has wondered this at some point:
“How do I support my health when I’m exhausted and sometimes all I eat is leftover chicken nuggets?”

I was teaching at a moms’ group once when someone asked me exactly that.

I had just finished explaining what I call “The Party Supplies” — the foundations of healthy hormones. Two big ones are sleep and nourishing food, so it was a totally fair question.

In the moment, I gave her practical tips about bed sharing and meal prepping but what I should have said was something far more important:

Moms can rely on a different Party Supply.
Oxytocin.

Oxytocin is in high supply in motherhood.
Every feed, every hug, every contraction, and every cuddle — it all releases more.

Here’s the gold ➡️ oxytocin isn’t just sweet.
It’s one of the most regulating, healing, restorative hormones we make.

So while you may not be sleeping eight hours straight or eating perfectly, your body is being supported in powerful ways every time you comfort, nourish, and connect with your little ones.

They’re your motivation — and somehow, they’re part of your healing too. 🤍

I love pregnancy so much and at the same time, I’ve been more uncomfy these last 33 weeks than ever.

It’s hard work, physically, and emotionally and spiritually.

And… it may easily be my last time ever experiencing it.

That’s been a big comfort to me, but is also so bittersweet.

So here’s to soaking in these final several weeks, embodying the thing that I am so passionate about.

Here’s to letting the aches and pains and fears drive me to a deeper softening. Letting the fatigue teach me about true rest. Letting the inability to live life “normally” bring me a whole new awareness of the Holy Spirit.

Pregnancy is such a gift, and yet, like many of the best gifts in life, it comes with difficulty, stretching, and uncomfortable transformation.

Thank you so much to for capturing these precious memories for us. I will treasure them literally forever as I continue to reflect on the beauty of pregnancy.
