Birth plans are great, wonderful, and important, but postpartum plans are really important, too. 

The great news is that all of these things can be done prenatally to set you up better for that fourth trimester when you come home with your baby.

it’s pretty easy to get wrapped up in our day-to-day tasks without actually stopping to say a simple “thank you” for all the little things that your partner does throughout their days to help and support you.

I would love to know. Who of these five people on your team? Do you have all five people or maybe more on your team? What does that look like for you? Share with me.

I’m bringing Matt back to the Birthing Bestie Blog again this month for another Partner Perspective. He’s sharing about his main takeaways from The Empowered Pregnancy Membership, and what lessons he brought with him into the delivery room!

You might be wondering: What is a birth philosophy? Well, a philosophy in itself is essentially the fundamental understanding of yourself. So when we are talking about a birth philosophy, we are talking about how you actually feel and think and understand birth to be in your own experience.

The Empowered Pregnancy Membership is my childbirth education support and community that I offer to anyone, near and far. 
A membership tailored to families who are planning to deliver their baby in the hospital setting.

Community is a huge aspect of life. As people, we want to connect with others, and as you go and grow through different chapters of life, it’s important to maintain and foster a strong community of people to love and support you!

When it comes to the care you receive during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, you have options. Take a listen if you want to know what and who they are!

The most important thing to consider when choosing a care provider is that you feel:
– heard
– respected
– supported

Hey Mama, don’t forget to take care of yourself, too! Your baby registry is JUST as much about supporting you as it is about your little one. Adding just a handful of items to your registry that care for you will help you feel your best while transitioning into motherhood.

Water plays an important role for our body and our baby’s development. Good hydration habits have so many benefits for pregnancy, but being IN water while pregnant also has some perks, too!
