This pregnancy awareness week, we at Swan Studios wanted to share some interesting facts about pregnancy:

🤰Pregnancy can lead to changes in a mother’s voice. However, researchers found that the maximum decrease in pitch after pregnancy was 2.2 semitones.
🤰In rare but well-documented cases, fetuses have been known to cry in the womb—a phenomenon called vagitus uterinus.
🤰During pregnancy, the uterus is capable of stretching up to 500 times its original size. Often compared to the size of a watermelon🍉
🤰During pregnancy, a woman’s blood volume gradually rises by 30–50%, meaning that by full term she has about 1.5 liters more blood circulating than before pregnancy.
🤰Molecules from the foods you eat enter your bloodstream and pass into the amniotic fluid. As a result, flavors from a mother’s diet are transmitted to the amniotic fluid in the womb and later to breast milk after birth. The senses of taste and smell are closely linked.

Kick off the challenge with 5–10 minutes of gentle stretches for your neck, shoulders, and back.

Tip: Reach your arms overhead, do side bends, and roll your shoulders. Small movements = big relief for your spine!

Today, we honour the strength of premature babies and the incredible courage of the families and healthcare teams who care for them.

Each year, millions of babies are born too soon, and every one of them deserves the best possible start to life. Early awareness,
compassionate care, and collaboration across healthcare professions make all the difference in helping these little ones thrive.

As chiropractors, we recognise the importance of gentle, evidence-informed care for families navigating the early days of parenthood.

Supporting maternal health, reducing stress, and encouraging optimal function of the body’s systems all contribute to healthier outcomes for both parents and babies.

🌍 30 October – Africa Food and Nutrition Security Day 🥰

Today, we recognise that true food security begins at the breast. 💛

Breastfeeding is not only a powerful act of love — it’s also one of the most effective ways to ensure lifelong nutrition and health for our children.

🧒 Mother’s milk is a complete, sustainable, and locally produced food source — perfectly designed to meet a baby’s needs, protect against illness, and support growth.

As we reflect on Africa’s 🌍 journey toward better nutrition and food security, let’s remember:
💛 Every drop of breast milk is a step toward a healthier, more nourished future.

🤱 Supporting mothers to breastfeed means supporting the health of our communities and our continent.

Let’s stand together for breastfeeding, nutrition, and food security in Africa — because a nourished mother means a nourished nation. 💚
