@iamjheani @VitallyMelanie Have you done a full thyroid panel?

In an ideal world, cold weather means local juice shops would convert into bone broth/herbal tea shops and restaurants would begin selling seasonal soups and stews daily. Every household would have fermented garlic + honey, fire cider, a sauna, and a bath for magnesium soaks ❄️

My sweet client will hit 42 weeks tomorrow so her midwife is suggesting she get a foley bulb inserted since labor slowed down last night. If she doesn’t have her baby by the end of tonight, she will have to go to hospital for her birth. Prayers for her would be appreciated! This is her first baby and her husband is currently deployed 🥹🤍

Husband made me birthday brunch🥰 Poached eggs, prosciutto, goat’s milk butter (my new fav thing) on sourdough I made yesterday🤌🏼

@BioavailableNd Would the lifeblud progest be good for this?

Oral and gut health are imperative, especially with a bacteria called Prevotella. Topical progesterone can do wonders. The joints are taking the hit, but the joints are not the root cause: the blood that flows between the joints is inflamed: find the source.

Everyone always says, “All that matters is a healthy baby.” That’s something every mom wants. How the mom was treated, cared for and what she experiences during labor matters just as much. Statements like this are why so many women suffer in silence during the fourth trimester.

@sorrythatimraw Def heavily influenced by blood sugar! Pregnancy naturally makes us more insulin resistant so blood sugar imbalances happen more easily

Many comments are coming at this woman with a lack of compassion for her situation. This woman experienced trauma during her birth and is still healing, processing and hurting from it. That’s extremely valid considering pregnancy and birth are VERY vulnerable times and what you experience during these times has long lasting impact. We can’t dismiss that for many women…this is how their experience will forever be labeled. Where I disagree with her, is where she claims all childbirth is traumatic. We can’t put our own negative experience onto a situation and make a blanket statement that all women will have trauma from it. Can birth be the most painful thing you’ll ever endure? Yes. Can things take a turn from your original birth plan? Yes. Can something happen like a cord prolapse that makes emergency surgery necessary? Yes. Can birth be loud, fiery and extremely intense? Yes. Can birth also be peaceful? Yes. Can birth also go exactly as the mom had planned it to? Yes. Are our bodies inherently designed to tear, stretch and shift for our babies to be birthed? Yes. Birth happens on a spectrum and is nuanced. I’ve seen traumatic births with my clients happen in hospitals, where many unnecessary interventions were used. I’ve also seen my clients sleeping through labor and having their baby in 15 minutes once the pressure and bearing down began. I’ve witnessed women giving birth freely in their home. Birth is not inherently dangerous. Birth is not inherently traumatic. But we can’t deny that it doesn’t happen that way for some women. These women need more support in processing their births. More mental health professionals and just community to be there to lift them up.

Ladies, What are your recommendations for a good post-natal vitamin? Also, other things to take to support your body in healing, milk supply, and hormone balance? I felt so depleted last time I was post partum and I’m trying to research and prepare ahead of time to give myself the best start I can this time around.

@arielthemidwife 100% agree. I love witnessing husbands support their wives during birth. They should be included in the process and be educated on how to support especially if they’re never witnessed birth. This couple was praying over thier baby together and it was just beautiful

I hate to argue this but I disagree. The husband’s role in birth is just as important as the birth keepers. This level of reassurance, intimacy, and trust cannot be replicated in a provider-patient relationship.

@singingbirth In doula trainings they tell you to never let clients know your biases which I just rolled my eyes at because birth is so personal and your birth team should be a safe space that shares the same ideals and feelings towards birth as you. Call me a birthing person and I am OUT🙅‍♀️

I actually wanted a midwife or doula for my last birth, I was even willing to hire a licensed midwife if she felt right. But every single one in my area was new age implementing the occult as part of their practice, used gender neutral language like “pregnant people” or required strenuous testing and monitoring because I’d be categorized as “high risk” for having had a previous cesarean. So I freebirthed instead 😌

@iWomansplainer This!!! Many women don’t track their cycle and are used to having irregular cycles so they don’t even know if it was an early chemical or even a 6week loss. I definitely think there are more than 1 in 4 pregnancies ending in miscarriage today, sadly.

I just recently learned that many times, very early miscarriages go entirely undetected because they occur before the woman even knows she was pregnant. I wonder how many of us will have babies in heaven that we never knew about.

@iWomansplainer As a doula, no matter if she’s already given birth unmedicated before, moms ALWAYS tell me they can’t do it anymore around this mark and sure enough that means baby is coming sooner than they think

Question for moms who have had multiple unmedicated births. Do the subsequent births also come with that “oh my I can NOT DO THIS” at 9cm or is that just the first time?

@glossiermodel Hi girlie 🥰 I think I’m coming back lol

i need @primalmamas to come back life has been so dreary w/o her posts on my feed

@BioavailableNd Fellow tall girlie 🥰

To all my tall sisters, remember that we won a battle against big exogenous estrogen. In the 1950s and 60s, estrogen therapy was used to stunt the growth of young tall girls, deemed at risk of being less desirable by men by their parents. Today we have endocrine disrupting chemicals like perfume and micro plastics, as well as the birth control that mimic similar effects. Cheers! 🥛🥛

It would be so dope if there was non condescending actual information online about side effects & real stats on positives / negatives of vaccines modern babies are expected to get, because there are like 4x more recommended than there were in the 90’s

@zevonplant Praying for you 🤍

I could really, really use some prayer, if anyone has the time. I'm having some major anxiety. I wasn't planning on saying this on X yet - but I'm pregnant, a day shy of 6 weeks. Right now, I'm having a symptom I didn't experience in either of my first 2 pregnancies that has...
