"Happy Giving Birth Day"💜

Cookie cakes for any occasion 😋

so many times, consultation calls with mamas begin with, “well I’m looking for a doula for my second pregnancy because my first birth experience was absolutely nothing like i had imagined.” maybe labor was induced for an insignificant reason, or unnecessary intervention occurred which led to a cascade of interventions, or maybe you didn’t feel listened to & explained all your options/risks/benefits, or maybe.... the list goes onnnnn.

as doulas, we can not change every outcome of your birth, but we can educate you on your choices, your rights, & help best prepare you for labor mentally & physically. knowing this information alone can help greatly improve satisfaction over your birthing experience 🫶🏼

find the right doula for you, & HIRE her.

they are worth their weight in gold ⭐️

“Mom brain” explained 🧠…

Are you a new primary parent and wondering why you’re more anxious, tired, and spaced-out than your partner? Rest assured that it’s not just you. And there is a physiological reason for it!

Your brain during pregnancy and postpartum literally changes so that you are better at responding to the cues and needs of an infant.

Your amygdala grows - proportionally to the amount of oxytocin it is producing. Higher levels of the hormone oxytocin have been connected to highly involved parents.

The growth in the amygdala helps you be able to read and respond to others’ emotions and needs as a caregiver - pretty dang important to caring for a baby, if you ask me!

Obviously, when one area grows, then another must shrink. That sounds scary - brain shrinkage! But actually it is very normal and takes place all the time!

It is referred to as “neural pruning” or “synaptic pruning” - your brain’s process of removing unnecessary neural connections. MRI studies have shown a significant reduction in gray matter in the hippocampus (the brain’s memory control) of new moms.

Synaptic pruning causes this reduction so that your brain can focus on all of the new actions and activities that you are now engaging in for your baby’s survival!!

So the next time you forget the word for simple things, don’t sweat it. Your brain is just working on more important things right now than language recall.

The amygdala also is our alarm system for danger! So as it grows, there is a very good chance that you become hypersensitive and hypervigilant whether your baby’s need is a big or a small one. This shift can lead to having intrusive or racing thoughts.

If we stay in hypervigilant overdrive, the brain will naturally shut down. This can lead us to feeling completely wiped out. It can even contribute to postpartum depression.

So if you are feeling more forgetful, stressed, and tired remember that it is a natural, adaptive process. And if you are feeling anxiety, racing thoughts, checked-out and/or depressed, it is also natural, but please reach out to a perinatal therapist or psychiatrist for support.

an extra tip for your hospital bag checklist: a cushioned, padded, bathroom mat ✨

this mama was laboring on the birth ball, switching between this position & knees on the ground leaning over the birth ball. the bathroom mats she packed were so nice on her knees & gave her more comfort throughout different laboring positions 🖤

Families across the US are choosing a different type of registry: one where they can ask for birth and postpartum support instead of (or in addition to) the traditional registry items that are focused on the baby.

Providers across the US are joining our platform so more moms have more options when it comes to support.

With the BeHerVillage registry, new parents can shop for exactly the type of support they want and choose the support providers they feel aligned with.

Providers reach more families who are looking for services like theirs.

Win. Win. Win.

If you're expecting, create your registry at BeHerVillage.com
If you're a provider and you want to be in our shopping guide and on our map, join us at BeHerVillage.com/partners
