How to Support Your Pregnant Friend
Have you ever felt like you didn’t know exactly how to help a friend who was pregnant? Especially if you’ve never been pregnant before, there are likely lots of things you haven’t thought of, and that’s totally okay!
Preparing for a homebirth is an exciting yet intensive process that many soon-to-be parents go through during pregnancy. Mamas and their partner both have important preparations to make before the day of the birth. Learning what is expected of both of you and how to work with your midwife and doula will make the day of birth much easier.
How to Advocate for Yourself as a First-Time Mama
As a first-time mama, embarking on your pregnancy journey can be both exciting and overwhelming. It's important to remember that this is your experience, and advocating for yourself can help ensure you receive the care and support you deserve. From selecting a birth team to asking important questions and making informed decisions, taking control of your pregnancy journey is essential for a positive and empowering experience.
Preparing Your Home for a Home Birth
Your birth plan is unique to you. What is right for one mama will not necessarily be right for you. For mamas who have chosen a home birth over alternatives like hospital births, you will need to make specific preparations to ensure that you have everything you need ready for your birth experience.
Pregnancy can be a difficult time in a mama's life. Her body is quickly changing, her hormones can sometimes fluctuate, and she is responsible for a life growing inside of her. That is enough to make anyone stressed out, no matter how emotionally secure they are.
One of the most important things for every pregnant mama is developing and maintaining a strong support network.
What Does a Fertility Coach Do?
The path to a healthy pregnancy is not always a straight line. The opposite is often true. Many mamas find that the fertility journey is twisting and turning, filled with highs and lows, and anything but easy.
Those who are struggling to get pregnant may experience an intense mixture of emotions. Women can feel anything from grief to jealousy to anger if they find pregnancy is a struggle.
Exploring Alternative Positions for Childbirth
Today, when we think of a woman giving birth, most people will conjure up an image of a woman, sweaty and red in the face, partially reclined on her back with her legs held in twin stirrups. This has not always been the norm.
There is a world of alternative birthing positions that can transform the birthing experience into something empowering and comfortable. By exploring non-traditional childbirth positions, women can discover a range of options that offer numerous benefits.

If you picture a pregnant mama delivering her baby, you probably conjure up an image of a messy-haired, red-faced woman lying on her back in a hospital bed with her legs in stirrups. This image has been painted for us by many different forms of media, especially television.
