Have you tried Prenatal Massage? Did you enjoy it? Have you tried Prenatal Massage? Did you enjoy it? Share your experience in the comments below. Here's what the research tells us... Studies have shown that hormone levels associated with relaxation & stress are significantly altered when massage therapy is introduced to women’s prenatal care. This leads to mood regulation and improved cardiovascular health. In women who received bi-weekly massages for only five weeks, hormones such as norepinephrine and cortisol (hormones associated with stress) were reduced, and dopamine and serotonin levels were increased (low levels of these hormones are associated with depression).
This is a SUPER common mistake I see women make al This is a SUPER common mistake I see women make all the time! Yes your cervix is PRETTY MAGICAL BUT it can not tell you how long you'll be in labour or when labour will start. That's because your cervix is not a mechanical machine that opens at a set rate. The number of centimetres open - does not indicate when you'll go into labour, nor the speed at which it will progress. Labour does not happen in a steady linear fashion. Just because your cervix is shut does not mean that you will have a long labour. And conversely, you could be walking around dilated at 4cm for weeks before your labour starts. Yes, YOU might be curious as you get close to your due date and wonder what's happening in your body - and therefore consent to a pelvic exam, but PLEASE know that these numbers are not indicative of when and how your birth story will unfold. BTW - Did you know that you have the right to refuse pelvic exams? These exams are routinely performed at your appointments in late pregnancy. Your provider does this exam to tell you how dilated (open) and effaced (thin) your cervix is. This can give us CLUES as to how ripe and ready your body is. But that's only the extent of it. Sooner or later, faster or slower, only your body and baby will decide. HOWEVER, if you do want to stack the odds in your favour of shorter labour - check out my free training - Decoding the Secrets to a Better Birth! Grab your spot: https://get.birthbliss.ca/training/
LABOUR OUTCOMES FOR EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY 🤩 LABOUR OUTCOMES FOR EXERCISE DURING PREGNANCY 🤩 A study by Davenport & colleagues in 2019 revealed: ➖Prenatal exercise did not affect the odds of preterm rupture of membranes ➖Prenatal exercise only did not affect the odds of cesarean section ➖Prenatal exercise reduced the risk of instrumental delivery This study demonstrated a 24% reduction in instrumental delivery!!! Previous research has shown that regular exercise during your pregnancy reduces the odds of a large baby, >4kg (fetal macrosomia) by 31% and therefore this decreases the risk of instrumental delivery. Just another great reason to continue to move your body during pregnancy. If you have an uncomplicated, healthy pregnancy there is no risks associated with exercise. If you have any complications or are unsure speak with your healthcare provider - many movements can be modified! PRENATAL YOGA IS A POWERFUL TOOL! Come use gentle stretches and stamina and strengthening movement to enhance your experience of pregnancy.

Communication between you and your partner is so s Communication between you and your partner is so so important. Things you'll probably discuss... ❤ How you'll announce your news ❤ Nursery set up ❤ Baby equipment Things you should definitely discuss ❤️ Sleeping arrangements ❤️ Feeding ❤️ Visitors ❤️ Preference for the Birth ❤️ Household chores ❤️ Support bubble ❤️ How to ask for /give support when needed The discussion doesn't mean that you'll definitely know the answers to this stuff - it means opening the doors of communication, so you have an idea of what's important to each of you. Postpartum planning is just as important as preparing for baby's birth. Here to support you all ❤️
😍Let's talk oxytocin - also known as 'The Love 😍Let's talk oxytocin - also known as 'The Love Hormone'😍 🤓Made in your hypothalamus and released into your bloodstream by your pituitary gland, oxytocin in both a hormone and a neurotransmitter. 👍There are many ways that oxytocin can contribute to a positive birth and early parenting experience. Some include: 😍Helping to soften the cervix for labour 😍Triggering the endorphin effect (endorphins are 18-33 times stronger than morphine) 😍Providing the power behind your surges/contractions 😍Triggers a state of calm 😍Encourages bonding with baby 😍It also helps in contracting the uterus to deliver the placenta and stop bleeding after birth as well as encouraging the let-down reflex during breastfeeding. 😍During both pregnancy and birth it suppresses the production of stress hormones which are responsible for the Fear – Tension – Pain cycle 😳Oxytocin is a shy hormone but loves: ☑️Safety ☑️Privacy ☑️Hugging ☑️Kissing ☑️Quiet ☑️Warmth ☑️Love It doesn't like: ⛔Noise ⛔Bright lights ⛔Cold ⛔Fear ⛔Strangers ⛔Loud noises and talking ⛔Strange surroundings 🤔I’d love to know - how did you encourage oxytocin in labour? 💕We'll be discussing this at my online complimentary birth workshop!
