To be more specific, we'll be diving into cervical checks and membrane sweeps. Your cervix is essential to birth and can often be used as an indicator of how "prepped" your body is for labor before labor even starts. Today, you'll learn how cervical checks are done, how to handle them, and the general pros and cons during pregnancy and labor. Then, we'll talk about membrane sweeps, which involve the cervix and are one of several things you can do to help jump-start labor. So, what exactly is a membrane sweep?

| 3/13/23 | ![]() Epidurals 101: Get Informed About Epidurals for Birth | When it comes to talking about birth, epidurals are often a part of the conversation in one way or another. And I'd guess that most of you already know that epidural placement eliminates labor pain. But beyond that? Well, a lot of people don't actually know that much! I often get questions about how epidurals are placed, how big an epidural needle is, if getting an epidural hurts, and lots more! So in this episode I unpack these epidural placement FAQs that frequently show up in my DMs. Additionally, you'll get a bit of deep dive into WALKING epidurals. Walking epidurals are very similar to a traditional epidural, but they allow for greater feeling and movement in the lower half of the body. This makes them very appealing to mamas that want a sort of "hybrid" birth experience. One where the edge is taken off the pain, but not so much that they can't move or feel the sensations of labor and delivery. Want to feel confident before your epidural birth?

I get questions about these topics all the time in my DMs, and totally understand that there is a lot of confusion and uncertainty surrounding pregnancy and COVID-19.

| 5/18/20 | ![]() Don't Worry About Being THAT Pregnant Lady, It Might Save Your Baby! | Maria Topper is a 23 year old mom of 2, blogger, and activist. She lives in Germany with her blended family. She uses her voice and social channels to talk about motherhood and its realities. At 19 years old she found out she was pregnant. She was living in a foreign country and a seemingly normal pregnancy turned into any mom to be worst scenario when doctors refused to listen to her and she developed eclampsia. She delivered a baby at 30 weeks via emergency C-section, and her baby girl spent 6 weeks in the NICU. Adjusting to life after the NICU wasn't easy and she suffered with PPD and PTSD. A few years later she wanted to extend her family and was met by the hard road that trying to conceive can be for some couples. After multiple miscarriages she was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome but was able to get pregnant and delivered a healthy term baby via VBAC. Maria urges moms-to-be to use their voice during pregnancy, to stand up for themselves if needed, and know that they their feelings and concerns are important. Want to eliminate stress before birth?
