Such an important message to share during #infertilityawarenessweek Posted @withregram โ€ข @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 wasnโ€™t something to micromanageโ€”it was something to support, to listen to, to work with instead of constantly trying to โ€œfix.โ€ So if youโ€™re in midlife, struggling with weight, hormones, or just feeling like you donโ€™t recognize yourself anymoreโ€”let this be your permission slip to stop blaming yourself. You are not failing. Your body is not betraying you. Itโ€™s shifting, evolving, adapting. And the best thing you can do? Support itโ€”not fight it.

This is a wonderful representation, always ensure youโ€™re being handed information with B.R.A.I.N to feel you have an informed understanding to make an informed choice! Posted @withregram โ€ข @pregnahub_app Understanding risk matters! A โ€œ100% increaseโ€ sounds big, but if the starting number is small, the actual risk may still be low. #InformedDecisions #MindfulNatal #BirthOptions #PersonalChoice

We love this explanation from @esme_bumpsandbirths thank you for this great video! Posted @withregram โ€ข @esme_bumpsandbirths Waters breaking ๐Ÿ’ฆ Hindwaters vs Forewaters! Sometimes all the midwife lingo can be a bit confusing so I thought Iโ€™d explain! Being a midwife I get asked a lot of questions like.. โ€˜when will I knowโ€™ or โ€˜how will I be able to tell if its really my waters?โ€™ So, here are my top tips: โœจthey donโ€™t always go like in the movies with a huge gush, but if they do, youโ€™ll know!! โœจ make a note of the time they went โœจ if youโ€™re unsure if itโ€™s your waters or *a-little-bit-of-wee* pop a big pad on and check it in an hour. If itโ€™s your waters the pad will be wet โœจ once your waters break they keep trickling until your baby is born โœจ your waters should be clear or pink in colour. If they look brown/green it may be some meconium (your babyโ€™s first poo) and itโ€™s important to get checked by a midwife โœจ your waters can break before contractions start, during labour, just before your baby is born, or very rarely theyโ€™re born in their membranes (called en caul) โœจ if contractions havenโ€™t started, do all the things to get your oxytocin flowing! โœจ Let your midwife know your waters have gone and theyโ€™ll be able to chat you through the next steps! Hope youโ€™ve found this helpful. Follow @esme_bumpsandbirths for more birth tips or book onto one of my courses! #watersbreaking #waters #birth #birthprep #birthpreparation #birthpreferences #birthpresent #hypnobirthing #pregnancy #onlinehypnobirthing #antenatalclass #positivebirth #pregnancyannouncement #antenatalcourse
