But this still can still mean a lot to you because the time to work on breastfeeding for the best outcomes, starts in pregnancy. And your mindset matters. Believing you can will take you far. Breastfeeding, like birth, isn’t something you can simply manifest with doing “all the right things”. But all the support, education, and foundation that comes with preparing for breastfeeding in pregnancy will give you a running start. I get it, you are protecting yourself if things don’t work out by saying “I hope I can breastfeed!” Because breastfeeding is hard, shifting your mindset to a positive one really does make a difference in your journey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/e78ef870-6364-4ff5-b171-da89f326406d/believe+you+can+%282%29.png BLOG - Preparing to breastfeed in pregnancy matters - Find lactation support, individual or in group setting. Because we were never meant to do this alone Working with a lactation consultant (IBCLC) or certified lactation counselor (CLC) early on in your feeding journey (especially at the end of pregnancy) give you the head start to feeding success. If working one on one with lactation support isn’t feasible for you, working with one in a group setting is the next best thing! The support of lactation AND motherhood support is the best combo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/786fb1bf-648c-4fe2-9b94-83142d631054/believe+you+can+%285%29.png BLOG - Preparing to breastfeed in pregnancy matters - Get the education, and in this case, your start is free! “Your Breastfeeding Journey Roadmap” is live and ready for you to dive into the 40 minutes of free lactation consultant and postpartum nurse prepared content. We start by talking about your mindset heading in pregnancy surrounding breastfeeding. Then we dive into actionable steps you can do in each trimester (even the fourth!) to set you up for breastfeeding success GRAB THE GUIDE HERE! If you take nothing else away from the free guide, it is to believe you can breastfeed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/ed9b2afe-94f3-4301-add7-74d0383be898/believe+you+can+%284%29.png BLOG - Preparing to breastfeed in pregnancy matters - Newborns are weird, here is some expected behavior from them in the baby feeding department in the early days: (1) They might not really “eat” for 24 hours- usually there’s one good breastfeed then they pass out! They’re exhausted, just like you! It is also the perfect time for you to pass out as well! (2) They have very minimal diapers- after 24hrs, diaper output is a big indicator of how well they’re feeding, since with BF you can’t tell! But on their first full day of life, the day after they’re born, only having one pee and 1 poop is a-okay. The next day, 2 diapers at minimum is great too (3) They may only want mama- you made and literally grew them, once they’re born they are striaght up homesick. All the skin to skin and snuggles is exactly what they want and need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/8fb7f8b5-a696-47de-a902-2d3ce280ae42/snag%2Byour%2Bcopy%2Bof.jpg BLOG - Preparing to breastfeed in pregnancy matters - This statement doesn’t go two ways, though. If you believe you can breastfeed and take the steps ahead of time to do so, there is a much greater chance of a longer breastfeeding journey. BUT if you weren’t able to breastfeed in the capacity you imagined, it was not that you didn’t believe you could https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/6258995e-6c61-45ec-8197-a85f96c4ea6d/believe+you+can+%281%29.png BLOG - Preparing to breastfeed in pregnancy matters - Include breastfeeding support on a baby registry and know your insurance benefits First that baby registry: You can add whatever you want on there, it is your registry for your baby AND your postpartum. Think about your biggest areas of need for newborn/baby days and postpartum recovery, and add items to meet those needs I have rarely heard parents say: “I have no idea what clothes I am going to put on my baby!” rather “I’m nervous breastfeeding won’t work out” So add items help you through the areas you are feeling uneasy about. Maybe it’s not breastfeeding, maybe it’s sleep, tummy time, getting sick, etc. And expanding your search more, you don’t even need to add physical items! Be Her Village is an incredible resource where you can add support services to your registry, for you and baby, rather than physical items. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/6e5bf6f9-2da2-495c-bfa2-60584d971b87/believe+you+can+%283%29.png BLOG - Preparing to breastfeed in pregnancy matters - Learn the basics of hand expression And I mean this to use for AFTER baby is born. Hand expression in pregnancy (aka antenatal hand expression) is optional and a bonus but not crucial to your success. Hand expression in pregnancy should not be done without a green light from your OB/midwife. Okay now we’re clear that we’re talking how to hand express for use after baby is born. Best case scenario you don’t need to hand express and right after birth, baby latches on, and keeps doing that with good milk transfer at least 8 times a day for 6 months. But those breastfeeding stories are definitely the minority. https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/newborns-and-fevers- monthly 0.5 2024-09-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/5f82fd62-da40-4b01-8ce5-55ec02e87828/Screenshot+2024-09-17+10.59.15+AM.png BLOG - Newborns and fevers ️ A rectal temperature is truly no ones favorite way to check a temperature.

But unlike a marathon, you don’t get to rest after- it’s time for postpartum recovery and healing. And postpartum recovery is another marathon, just one that never ends. But postpartum, or as I like to refer to it as your fourth trimester, deserves just as much care and attention as you had during pregnancy. Postpartum is a time where it is so easy to focus on baby, that forgetting about yourself is common.

Technically it is the top part of an organ, but for our purposes, this is the fundus of your uterus. Your uterus is a truly incredible organ that is baby's home for 10 months, then over the course of a few weeks, the muscles do the work to shrink from a watermelon size to a pear size. At the end of pregnancy your fundus is right below your breastbone, encroaching on your lungs. Minutes after baby is born, your fundus is right around your belly button. Your uterus is a brilliant organ that knows what to do, most of the time. (And the times it doesn't, usually a reminder is all that is necessary to get back on track) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/264fb75d-2eb1-453f-bc95-915fe6e83ba7/Screenshot+2022-11-16+2.02.50+PM.jpg BLOG - What is fun about a fundus? - Your postpartum & newborn nurse besties of Fourth Trimester Foundations here to support you during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Rally the troops! Before baby is here is a great time to start considering who you’d like to be in your inner circle during your fourth trimester (and also who you’d like to keep at arms length). If you’ve had a difficult pregnancy, you might already know who you can lean on when push comes to shove. Those same people are likely your troops when you’re postpartum. If you’re thinking about it for the first time, consider who you’re willing to breastfeed in front of, who is willing and able to help you with household tasks or baby care, and who makes you feel safe and loved. Download our FREE postpartum planner and add those people to your list. Fill out the rest with us during our workshop or on your own time when you’re ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/a4b21c21-deec-4160-a7b2-4865915605ad/1_20_2022%2C+7_32_04+PM.jpg BLOG - The Ultimate Third Trimester To-Do List - 4. Stock the freezer. And don’t just focus on dinner. You’re going to be healing, hungry and searching for something easy to grab at all hours of the day. Stash breakfast and lunch foods, too! Some of our favorite recipes are in the blog archives, like this kale and white bean skillet, or power protein bites. Prepping freezer meals can be a fun nesting activity if you enjoy cooking, but don’t think this falls on you alone. You know that really nosy great aunt that texts you every other day wondering if the baby is here yet? Her texts may not be helpful, but if she makes a mean lasagna, help yourself and make her feel useful by asking her to make you a tray or two. If family isn’t close by, sign up for services like Lasagna Love to close the gap. Another great idea (because you can only eat lasagna so many times), is to prep crock pot meals in large freezer bags. Add all the ingredients in advanced and write instructions on the bag so when it’s time to cook, you can dump it, set it, and forget it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/50087914-d364-455a-bdff-3557c8ec6f46/9F854ADB-8C12-4AF9-A1B7-E000DFDFC3C3.jpg BLOG - The Ultimate Third Trimester To-Do List - To-Do: Schedule & attend preparation classes if you haven’t already. Our biggest suggestion is that you vary your education. Learn about labor and delivery, absolutely, but don’t forget newborn basics, feeding your baby, and postpartum preparation as well. So, where do you start? You might find that your chosen place of birth (i.e. hospital or birth center) offers childbirth education at an affordable cost. It may not be the most unbiased, but it is an option to consider depending on your birth choices. Many doulas, nurses (like us!), lactation consultants, and the like also offer their own private courses that you may find more detailed or tailored to your preferences. Ask mom friends, the professionals you’ve hired, your provider, the local mom Facebook group, or shoot us an email if you’re having trouble finding one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1681938543202-4GJP6ZZWJWDM9GLWRB53/4th-trimester-foundation-branding-session-93.jpg BLOG - The Ultimate Third Trimester To-Do List https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1681938582853-YBXY6RG7JPQX89K4LVT5/3_18_2022%2C+10_37_45+AM.jpg BLOG - The Ultimate Third Trimester To-Do List https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/boob-fun-facts monthly 0.5 2023-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/52dbc15c-ce8a-4eff-a04f-61e68671921f/Untitled+design+%2836%29.png BLOG - Boob Fun Facts - 6. Hair on or around the areola is normal Plucking or shaving is not only not necessary, it is discouraged if you are breastfeeding. Any types of breaks in the skin can lead to unwanted infection. 7. Each nipple has around 9 milk duct openings on the face of the nipple. That’s right! It’s not like a water bottle where there is one opening, there are plenty of holes to keep the milk flowing. Not all are patent and not all open to the outside, but regardless boobs are amazing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/bcc23655-ca79-4143-9590-f4c493238d17/Screenshot%2B2022-11-16%2B2.02.50%2BPM.jpg BLOG - Boob Fun Facts - Your postpartum & newborn nurse besties of Fourth Trimester Foundations here to support you during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

Breasts start to make milk around week 16 during pregnancy. So guess what that means, you may experience some leaking. Even if you are expecting it, it is still surprising. And it just may come when you really don’t need it to, like during sex (thanks oxytocin!) Leaking doesn’t mean that there will be a high milk supply. And conversely, not leaking doesn’t mean there will be a low milk supply. Some moms leak milk/colostrum during pregnancy, others don’t, that’s all https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/f59b5098-0089-46c6-b60a-e589e2b253a8/Untitled+design+%2838%29.jpg BLOG - Boob Fun Facts - One breast is usually bigger than the other.

Understand how to use perineal products and/or incision at baseline We truly do want you to know how to care for your own body. Asking for a demonstration on how to apply the cooling spray, tucks, etc are encouraged! Ask questions about them and can even have your partner listen in so they can get it ready for you while you're using the bathroom. For cesarean births, knowing what is normal for your incision is huge. We encourage a lot of moms to take a picture of their incision so they know what it looks like at baseline. If a picture isn't your thing, a nurse can describe to you the areas of bruising or parts to look out for. We want to empower you to feel like you've got this! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/ca39b9ab-0966-44ab-8e0b-ceb625afee80/inside+scoop+%282%29.png BLOG - How-to Hack your Hospital Postpartum - 3. Utilize the nursery for baby if needed We do not want you falling asleep with your baby in your arms in a hospital bed, chair or anywhere else. The safe sleep seven is very difficult to practice in a hospital safely. You are very exhausted, your support person is exhausted, yet baby doesn't want to be put down. If your hospital has the nursery as an option, take advantage of it if you're comfortable. Rooming in is of course ideal for bonding, breastfeeding and quality sleep just to name a few, BUT we would so much rather you let us know if you can't safely care for baby during your first couple of days postpartum than get into an unsafe situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/63282170-c91f-47b7-85d6-30c8371d5369/inside+scoop+%283%29.png BLOG - How-to Hack your Hospital Postpartum - Hours to days hospital postpartum: Some of the most formative few days of your life, yet a time when you may feel the most unsure and uneasy about everything. Many moms have never been a patient at a hospital before. It often feels like a foreign place. And while growing, birthing and loving on your baby by no means needs to be medicalized to be healthy, this is the path many (including both of us!) chose for many of our births. It’s not a prison but also not a hotel. I t’s not camping but you may have gotten better sleep in a tent. It’s a revolving door but you also have a say. You are likely a healthy person recovering from an incredible event, yet your body feels broken.

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine recently released a clinical protocol for mastitis management, and you’ll be surprised with what the latest research has shown. So many techniques that we thought until recently were helping relieve clogs and mastitis, might have just been making it worse. In a nutshell: let’s simplify the management. This means going back to the basics of ice, NSAIDs and breastfeeding on demand/pumping to match feeds, while reducing aggressive management. Increasing pumps, feeds, using lots of gadgets and interventions can create more inflammation and swelling. It’s all about going back to the core of supply and demand. You demand more, your body makes more. We have highlighted the latest clogged ducts and mastitis protocols here for you. Some are preventative, others are for treatment purposes. These recommendations are for a healthy mom and baby, where baby is gaining weight and having adequate wet diapers. This also includes where mom is breastfeeding in any capacity (exclusively or in combination with formula) (Exclusive pumping mamas, you don’t have to feel left out of this too, we have special EP-er considerations) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/061528b9-ee81-45c7-a76a-8728912247ed/Screenshot+2022-11-29+9.12.36+PM.png BLOG - Mastitis Care &amp; Prevention 2022 Updates - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/264fb75d-2eb1-453f-bc95-915fe6e83ba7/Screenshot+2022-11-16+2.02.50+PM.jpg BLOG - Mastitis Care &amp; Prevention 2022 Updates - Your postpartum & newborn nurse besties of Fourth Trimester Foundations here to support you during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

If you are experiencing frequent mastitis, clogged ducts, please work with a lactation consultant (find one here!) and your OB/midwife at minimum. This is a clue that the feeding/transfer/pumping/breast anatomy may need to be looked into further. If you have any history of breast surgery or breast implants, please also be in close contact with a lactation consultant since mastitis and clogged ducts can look very different for you than others. PLEASE do not take this list as how you need to do things on your breastfeeding journey. This list highlights the most up to date research from Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, but they are not you or your OB/midwife or your pediatrician.

Don’t go crazy sterilizing- mastitis is not contagious and not from unhygenic cleaning practices. Clean your pumping parts as you have been (and sterilizing if your pediatrician specifically told you to). No need to clean the nipple before or after feeds. Using nipple cream does not cause a clog/mastitis. Reduce pain and swelling- manage the mastitis symptoms - Motrin 800mg every 8 hours - Tylenol 1,000mg every 8 hours - Ice- every hour or more frequently - Heat- opens the milk ducts. It can worsen symptoms or provide relief, depends on the mother - Sunflower lechtin has been known to reduce inflammation and emulsify milk. Manage oversupply- having an oversupply predisposes one to breast inflammation and milk duct narrowing. Aim for the basics of supply and demand (EPers- if your goal is to EP for the shortest amount of time possible and want an oversupply, keep it going if you aren’t getting frequent clogs/mastitis!) https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/5-things-to-do-in-your-first-trimester-that-will-serve-you-postpartum monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/7df9df16-d49f-418a-ad0b-94f55ae7ea9b/pregnancy+test.jpg BLOG - 5 Things To Do In Your First Trimester That Will Serve You Postpartum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/vitamink monthly 0.5 2022-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/8e271061-0b0c-4951-be03-a70463bc76c6/Screenshot+2022-11-04+9.01.38+AM.png BLOG - Vitamin K in newborns: The facts, risks and benefits - How is vitamin K given?

It seems obvious that a place that cares for families and welcomes new babies into the world would be “friendly” to those newborns, right? RIGHT?! In theory, yes, but there is more than one way to care for a mother and baby dyad, and different hospitals do this in different ways (for better or worse). That’s not to say other facilities are “un-friendly”, but the differences are worth noting. https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/newborn-diaper-output-what-to-expect-birth-to-6-weeks monthly 0.5 2022-11-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/34aa8fc6-2af5-434a-b1bb-4eecf4a117b0/Untitled+design+%2816%29.jpg BLOG - Newborn diaper output, what to expect birth to 6 weeks - Newborns and what goes on in their diapers is maybe the least control you have in early parenthood.

You can read more of her birth story here. We did well with latching, but my “barely there” supply for my toddler was still a very overwhelming supply to a brand-new baby. We dealt with a tremendous amount of spit up in the first couple of days as a result. I found that tandem nursing was my saving grace for this situation because the toddler could take away some of that overwhelming volume from the baby. I found it easiest to latch the toddler on one side and the newborn on the other, or sometimes to even let the toddler go first until the letdown subsided, then replace her with the newborn on that side. Tandem feeding was also my secret weapon for preventing a lot of new sibling jealousy in that adjustment period. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/2c283694-d921-4ad8-acab-eda9dd376604/Supportgroup.JPEG BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey I truly don’t think I’d be here telling this story of still breastfeeding nearly three years later if not for this day and this angel in my life. I didn’t give up then and there because I got what I needed that night. I went home, woke up the next morning with enormous rock-hard boobs, spoke to the same IBCLC on the phone a few more times to calm my anxiety, and we kept on going. By the end of my first week, I was showing off to my mom and close friends that I could lie on the couch, watch TV and nurse my baby at the same time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/3047c578-b94e-4e8d-a944-c0a90d24970b/NewbornBFTessie.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey As I mentioned earlier, my little December baby came two days before Christmas. Because I gave birth in the hospital I worked at, I knew that one of the lactation consultants I worked with had a weekly breastfeeding support group every Thursday evening. The week my daughter was born, Thursday ended up being December 26th. I decided to pack my baby into the car and let my mom drive us up to the hospital the day after Christmas because I was beginning to feel my milk come in and panicking about engorgement. When I got there, I was the only person who came for support group, so I basically got 90 minutes alone with an IBCLC (and dear friend) who doted on us, encouraged us endlessly, rubbed my shoulders, and taught me a million different tricks and positions for latching her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/f84e7161-6b17-406e-b89b-3876e66a4beb/TandemBF3.PNG BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey I want to start by saying that this experience is mine and mine alone. And while it may appear victorious from the outside looking in, it was not all as wonderful as it seems. That’s not to say I don’t count it as a victory, because I certainly do. But I don’t tell it to make anybody feel as though they have to measure up. I hope that its worth reading for those of you who are looking for an example of a longer, more atypical experience with multiple babies that you just don’t find too many other places. I didn’t have many of those examples in my own life and figured it out as I went along, so I hope even one person reads this and finds the encouragement they need to keep going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1659635857534-RTWUPWVZL1D333FM6H99/BFMaddie.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1659635859340-MRNFQ8EQCDWR3YBBVRJW/BfTessie.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1659635862312-60V9E6LCNAEST8N0IIUU/Milkstash.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1659635862404-5STDH5GZGQHRRXOX1SLG/pumping.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1659635866235-NNM6HLPKYV7HDUN5JT21/TandemBF2.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1659635866277-EAEHK5V381082OV9UZWL/TimBottleTessie.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/fc48a274-5247-45aa-8ce4-f04e3a094aac/BFPregnant.JPG BLOG - Meg’s Breastfeeding Journey I was determined to make it to a year with her anyway, so I continued through the pain of latching and pumping for eight more months at work until I left for maternity leave again. It was very difficult to separate my worth from my breastmilk during my pump sessions at work during this time. I decided to change my outlook on pump breaks from watching the ounces in the bottle to instead an opportunity to video chat with the baby, sit down, and have a snack. I’d cover the bottles with a swaddle blanket and try not to look too hard at the total I was bringing home at the end of the day. With the help of some donor milk from dear friends (one of which was Carly), we made it to a year and beyond.

Now imagine doing it with no solid foods and only clear liquids with limited options. Non-birthing marathon runners, Olympians and those who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro cannot relate. But somehow, most laboring people can relate. Especially those who have birthed their babies at a hospital. Many current in-hospital policies are not even close to up-to-date on the most current evidence-based and autonomy-based practices on “permitting” eating or drinking during labor.

When the door to my room opened next, JoAnn AND Lisa walked in the room. Again, I was shocked and excited to see them both! They were in the middle of switching off when my nurse called them, so they decided to come together. JoAnn made a remark that they didn’t get to attend births together often anymore and it was a special treat to do so. My nurse then finally emptied my bladder, my water immediately broke, and it was go time. With my nurse on one side, Lisa on the other, JoAnn at my feet, and my husband behind my head for moral support, we began pushing. Yes, I pushed the entire time in my mask and again, I didn’t even think to do otherwise. I hardly noticed it and it truly wasn’t as terrible as you might expect. I have a habit of always putting a few drops of essential oil in my masks, which may have helped my comfort level. On this day, it was a eucalyptus blend to help me breathe. The midwives offered to let my husband catch her, but he declined (he regrets that now). About 20 minutes later my daughter was crowning, direct OP, and thrashing her head against my pubic bone. There isn’t an epidural in the world that could’ve saved me from that horrific feeling and in one more frantic push to make it stop, Madelyn was born at 8:34am. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/a3b1abd4-a845-478c-b908-7285195e0452/MaddiePregnant.jpeg BLOG - Meg’s Birth Story #2 - Postpartum & Pregnant The story of my second daughter really starts way back at my six-week postpartum midwife appointment after my first pregnancy. My husband and I knew we wanted to have our children relatively close together, so I made sure to ask how long we had to wait in order to safely conceive again. While 18 months would’ve been ideal, she let me know that 12 months would still be ok if that’s what I wanted. Fast forward 6 months to our daughter sleeping well at night, moving out of our room, and my baby fever returning. We cast the caution to the wind thinking it would take us many months to conceive just like the last time. Spoiler alert: it didn’t take many months. I was 7 months postpartum and about to take on another pregnancy followed by raising two children under two years old. We were thrilled, but also apprehensive. Turns out my body just really doesn’t like being pregnant and the first miserable experience wasn’t a fluke. Despite extensive chiropractic work, I was exhausted, sick, in pain, and trudging through life with a rambunctious one year old for my entire pregnancy. Here’s a photo of me about 8 months pregnant – a photo I only asked for because I realized I didn’t have any photos of my belly this time. The proof of mom photos were also few and far between because while she was at the park with dad, I was laid up on the couch most days. In this instance, thank goodness for pandemics and shutdowns that allowed my husband to work from home. I wouldn’t have made it through otherwise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1653501536551-DP6JYW1S9LZ87V88EUNY/MaddieHead2.jpeg BLOG - Meg’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1653501542433-LQ3L85T3GPF1M12NWJDL/MaddieLatch.jpeg BLOG - Meg’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1653501547998-9RST1RGGJMG90587NPPD/MaddieTim.jpeg BLOG - Meg’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1653501570598-OUBW4ABH765WZWGBYKKV/MaddieHead.jpeg BLOG - Meg’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/e033d1dd-abb9-4742-86c4-1c32ce3953f1/MaddieGoldenHour.jpeg BLOG - Meg’s Birth Story #2 She let out a quick little shriek, then promptly fell back to sleep on my chest. JoAnn tried to convince me that she had given me “all the hell she was going to” now that she had finished out the world’s most miserable pregnancy with thrashing her way through my pelvis and settling peacefully on my chest. I can tell you over a year later her favorite way to wake me up in the morning is still with a swift little headbutt. I got the perfect “Golden Hour” this time around and for two hours, she never left my chest – not even for a diaper, which I suppose makes me brave. Eventually she was taken to the warmer next to me for a weight and a small assessment. At 8lbs 4oz, she was my peanut. She had some significant bruising on her forehead from the sunny side up position she arrived in. You can tell that she had her brow furrowed when she was head banging her way out by the stripe pattern of the bruises. We started breastfeeding right away and were quite successful. Stay tuned for my postpartum story that includes how I navigated feeding a newborn a full milk supply (I was still nursing my toddler). There’s a lot of spit up in that story. https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/birthstorycarly2 monthly 0.5 2022-07-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1652667221144-556EB7I3UZDC7319J0UZ/IMG-7311.jpg BLOG - Carly’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1652748677631-HBE8LNAFFMFP4CAOACZ5/Untitled+design+%284%29.png BLOG - Carly’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1652750487335-7J3L7RC1UUTLMNGVSSLT/BA092E9D-E69F-4F85-820B-023AFA29CE29.jpg BLOG - Carly’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1652750485431-AE0YMRO92MTFCAMDCZCI/0D72E25C-7780-4A83-8CAE-5FDEEBDB36DF.jpg BLOG - Carly’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1652751420800-D7KXP4GCELAW9B6IJITK/IMG-7374.jpg BLOG - Carly’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1652750492544-7A96PMHR38ME97DH971E/IMG-7284.PNG BLOG - Carly’s Birth Story #2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/2363f320-28da-4ae4-9844-e0dc671f79a6/IMG-9558.JPG BLOG - Carly’s Birth Story #2 Let me jump right to the end- I had a "planned" C-section with my second baby.

We were discharged home bright and early on Christmas morning. Mom and dad in accidentally matching green shirts and sweatpants, babe in the Santa jammies I saved just incase the stars aligned for her birthday. I have a few very vivid memories and lessons I learned on the postpartum side of things, both in the hospital and at home, but those are a story for another day. The sum of this birth story is that my miserable pregnancy ended with THE MOST miserable weekend of my life (at least until the next time I had a baby ) and was followed up by the most peaceful, comfortable, and perfect-for-us birth story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/a294fcc0-b5ef-496f-83c3-1fd3e2c613e0/PregnantTessie.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Birth Story #1 When you’re expecting a December baby, there is a constant narrative in the back of your mind of whether or not this baby will arrive in the middle of holiday plans. There’s family to see, festivities to celebrate, and shopping to do for most of the month. I wondered if she would arrive on her own special day or overlapping a memorable event. My due date was Christmas Day. Pregnancy was physically hard on me and I was excited for the part I was accustomed to as a postpartum nurse. I knew I’d thrive better there. I don’t have many photos of myself while pregnant, but here is the last one I have with my nephew, about two weeks before he got to meet his new cousin and best friend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/71ca5ac6-a777-420d-9794-30f55f3e0c7e/TessieBirth3.jpg BLOG - Meg’s Birth Story #1 While they were gone, I enjoyed an ice pop and Lisa stitched up my second-degree tear. If you had asked me in the moment if I was disappointed that I lost my golden hour, I’d tell you yes, of course. But with a little bit of hindsight perspective, I can tell you that it happened the way it was meant to and I don’t regret it. I do sometimes wish I had spoken up more in the moment. Maybe she wouldn’t have left me. I don’t really remember her breathing or color being is poor as they said, and when I look back at photos, she looks pink and comfortable to me. But I also recognize that I wasn’t the nurse in the room and my judgement might not have been the best that day. Mostly I just remember that my husband returned with my daughter absolutely beaming.

Not because I was uncomfortable or miserable, my pregnancy was honestly pretty chill. But because my type A personality could not handle all of the unknowns of the impending birth. My goal was an unmedicated birth. For the main reason of being able to move around freely and not feeling stuck or confined anywhere. I had a frank discussion with my provider, and came to the realization that an unmedicated birth could be tougher than I anticipated. I sought out and found an excellent birth doula (who also happened to be a midwife student). I took self-paced hypnobirthing classes. I took hospital childbirth and baby care courses. I tried to do all the research and read all the books. <—Here I am 7 days before go time! https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/skintoskinfourthtrimester monthly 0.5 2022-04-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1647199696890-DIGZJSPWST6YFUA3X47G/Screenshot+2022-03-13+3.27.43+PM.png BLOG - Skin-to-skin benefits for your fourth trimester https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1647199696752-U43IJBYNLBVYUF7GTS9A/Screenshot+2022-03-13+3.27.31+PM.png BLOG - Skin-to-skin benefits for your fourth trimester https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1647199697611-AIKOKL8R46K3YZ6A2428/Screenshot+2022-03-13+3.27.12+PM.png BLOG - Skin-to-skin benefits for your fourth trimester https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1647199697897-C6T3HCOPSTXU06HLDOXI/Screenshot+2022-03-13+3.26.52+PM.png BLOG - Skin-to-skin benefits for your fourth trimester https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/postpartumpitocin monthly 0.5 2022-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/411e92f9-8660-48f5-8d8b-e28986e32816/Screenshot+2022-03-13+3.22.21+PM.png BLOG - Postpartum Pitocin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/postpartumbleeding monthly 0.5 2022-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1327b6cd-42d7-466b-b9e5-8060ccf6b9e3/Screenshot+2022-03-13+3.15.12+PM.png BLOG - Postpartum pad surprises and bleeding Postpartum bleeding is one of the most universal things about birthing a baby. The bleeding comes from a wound inside of your uterus where the placenta detaches after birth. Your amazing human body, which was created to do this, also needs time to let this wound heal. Your vaginal bleeding after baby is coming from this wound. Just as your body was created to grow a baby, it was also created to have blood clot to prevent lots of bleeding. https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/oxytocin monthly 0.5 2022-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1647198329399-2YZWRS5R2NG1I02157XT/Screenshot+2022-03-13+3.04.26+PM.png BLOG - What is oxytocin? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/1647198329341-RPXUENRFAWU5OJDTGDKX/Screenshot+2022-03-13+3.04.14+PM.png BLOG - What is oxytocin? https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/postpartumooddisorder monthly 0.5 2022-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/8beb1fe1-2d28-4583-85f2-0c899e06002b/Screenshot+2022-03-13+2.53.53+PM.png BLOG - Postpartum mood disorder recognition - Instead I thought: "Why am I worrying so much about this little thing?” "Shouldn't I feel happy right now?” "Why am I crying so often?” "Do other moms feel this mad this quickly like I do?” "This can't be how every new mom feels, can it?” https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/duedates monthly 0.5 2022-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/85f348bf-d6df-40c6-b4c4-78dcbdafcb1b/Screenshot+2022-03-13+2.43.58+PM.png BLOG - Pregnancy due date, more like guess date - If you’re in your third trimester of pregnancy you are likely all too familiar with the incessant “is the baby here yet?!?!?!” messages from literally everyone you’ve ever known. ‍‍‍ Here’s what Evidence Based Birth has to say in an article published in 2015 and updated in 2019: https://www.fourthtrimesterfoundations.com/blog/itsokaypostpartum monthly 0.5 2022-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61131fa12d4f261d3d88b60e/f8636726-3126-4a2d-a7b6-46d8ba588712/Screenshot+2022-03-13+2.37.48+PM.png BLOG - Both can be true postpartum, and its okay It’s ok if you’re struggling with being postpartum. It’s ok if you’re thrilled you’re not pregnant anymore. It’s ok if you’re counting the seconds until your milk comes in. It’s ok if you’re praying it dries up. It’s ok if you feel elation when you look at your brand new baby. It’s ok if you don’t feel the connection yet. It’s ok if you feel ready to get back in the gym after six weeks. It’s ok if you can still barely get up the stairs after six weeks. It’s ok if you’re feeling like a superhero after your belly birth. It’s ok if you’re devastated you were forced to have a cesarean. It’s ok if you’re on top of the world that you did it unmedicated. It’s ok if you’re pleased that your epidural helped you enjoy your birth. It’s ok if you’re feeling even-keeled and happy. It’s ok if you’re miserable and teary-eyed. It’s ok if you feel a new incredible level of love and affection for your partner. It’s ok if you want to scream every time they sneeze loudly. It’s ok if you feel all of these things in the span of five minutes. The fourth trimester is easily the biggest rollercoaster of physical and emotional growth we will ever experience as women. Let’s decide to do it hand in hand. No matter how we feel, no matter what our choices are, no matter what our journey looks like, we’ll make it to the other side.

[2] tag team with a partner/family member- when baby is in a deeper sleep, pass baby off to a loved one and catch a little sleep. Giving them a shirt you've recently worn to drape over their shoulder so they smell you works like magic! [3] cuddle- skin-to-skin is the perfect reset for you and baby [4] know you aren't starving them- if breastfeeding on demand or formula feeding, they will seem as though they want to constantly eat. You can feed often, but don't assume every cry is hunger, sometimes they're just saying "hold me". [5] anticipate it and understand why- take at least one nap the day after delivery, so you don't go into the night more exhausted than you have to be.
