Such an important message to share during #infertilityawarenessweek
Posted @withregram โข @preysmd I spent years believing health was about discipline. Eat clean. Exercise. Stay lean. But when I went through IVF, I realized how little of it was actually in my hands. My body wasnโt something to micromanageโit was something to support, to listen to, to work with instead of constantly trying to โfix.โ
So if youโre in midlife, struggling with weight, hormones, or just feeling like you donโt recognize yourself anymoreโlet this be your permission slip to stop blaming yourself. You are not failing. Your body is not betraying you. Itโs shifting, evolving, adapting. And the best thing you can do? Support itโnot fight it.
Infertility is more common than you might think โ and it touches countless lives in quiet ways.
During Infertility Awareness Week, weโre sharing facts, fostering compassion, and holding space for every journey to parenthood.

Posted @withregram โข @pregnahub_app Understanding risk matters! A โ100% increaseโ sounds big, but if the starting number is small, the actual risk may still be low.

We love this explanation from @esme_bumpsandbirths thank you for this great video!
Posted @withregram โข @esme_bumpsandbirths Waters breaking ๐ฆ Hindwaters vs Forewaters!
Sometimes all the midwife lingo can be a bit confusing so I thought Iโd explain!
Being a midwife I get asked a lot of questions like.. โwhen will I knowโ or โhow will I be able to tell if its really my waters?โ
So, here are my top tips:
โจthey donโt always go like in the movies with a huge gush, but if they do, youโll know!!
โจ make a note of the time they went
โจ if youโre unsure if itโs your waters or *a-little-bit-of-wee* pop a big pad on and check it in an hour. If itโs your waters the pad will be wet
โจ once your waters break they keep trickling until your baby is born
โจ your waters should be clear or pink in colour. If they look brown/green it may be some meconium (your babyโs first poo) and itโs important to get checked by a midwife
โจ your waters can break before contractions start, during labour, just before your baby is born, or very rarely theyโre born in their membranes (called en caul)
โจ if contractions havenโt started, do all the things to get your oxytocin flowing!
โจ Let your midwife know your waters have gone and theyโll be able to chat you through the next steps!
Hope youโve found this helpful. Follow @esme_bumpsandbirths for more birth tips or book onto one of my courses!
