What are the Early Signs of Labor?
Mama, are you noticing some subtle changes—your belly feeling a bit heavier, those mild, rhythmic tugs across your abdomen, maybe even a little extra pressure down low?
It’s natural to wonder, "Is this it?" Each of these shifts could be your body’s gentle way of saying that your baby is getting ready, and as you lean into these early signs, a mix of excitement and curiosity often follows.
Mama, the first moments after you have given birth are precious and filled with emotions.
At Stork Helpers, we want you to embrace this magical moment by considering skin-to-skin contact!
Skin-to-skin contact, also known as kangaroo care, is a powerful and natural approach that has been shown to provide several benefits for mamas, their birth partners, and newborns.
How Your Partner Can Support You in Postpartum
After nine long months and hours of labor, you and your newborn baby can finally come home. Once you get a chance to sit down and relax after the excitement of meeting your baby for the first time, reality can come quickly.
As a new mama, you are starting a new chapter of your life, one that is going to come with new responsibilities like breastfeeding or bottle-feeding and changing diapers, along with your other daily activities! This is likely a time of lots of joy, but it is also completely normal to feel overwhelmed while balancing it all.
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.

What It Mean When Your Water Breaks
This is can be a big concern for most women who are pregnant. Women often have anxiety about their water break in the theatre, while at the mall, in church, at a restaurant or at work. The good news is this only happens in 10% of women while at home or in the grocery store.

The Birth Partners Role
Birth partners are important in helping labor go smoothly as they can provide both emotional and physical support. While everyone that probably comes to your house or meets up with you from the time they find out Mama is pregnant until months after the new baby arrives only wants to know how Mama and baby are doing - your role is important.
