Repost from @jess.withlactationlink Does this script look familiar? I say this all the time. Do not be shy, ask for help. If someone offers,says YES!! ... Speak up. Ask for help. When people make this offer, they usually really mean it and really would love to help. But sometimes it’s so hard to ask! If your friends or family ask if you need anything, ask if they can pick you up something. Say yes! Bring some lunch, pick up diapers, I need this tea or whatever. They want to help. It makes them feel good and you need it. Please say YES!!! Do you find it hard to ask for help?

We are still teacher labor prep private lessons to couples. This is one of my favorites! Starting at 37.5wks o can teach your partner how to massage you during labor. We will also go over acupressure and reflexology to prep the body for labor, potentially get labor going and speed labor up! It's a win- win!! All done very safely at your home or in our office. . . .... #laborprep #laboranddelivery #maternalmassageandmore #thepregnantnewyorker #massageduringlabor See more

This stunning mama to be is counting the days to meet her baby. Look at that gorgeous bump!

5 years ago at 4:55pm I became a mom to my beautiful , smart, strong, curious, funny , demanding , sassy(and the list goes on) daughter. I always imagined the minute I was ready to be pregnant I would of course get pregnant . I imagined having a drug free birth and breastfeeding would be the most natural thing in the world. And what happened was a journey thru IVF, induction, c-section and 10 weeks of getting breastfeeding established. I joke that I went thru all this so ...I could experience the many different things that many of you go through and empathize with you. The work I do has always been there, the difference is now I can share my story with you, and really understand what you're going through. I did Maya abdominal massage for fertility, lymphatic drainage for the tons of swelling I had afterwards, scar massage on the csection and got lots of breast feeding help and support and now, I myself I am a lactation consultant (IBCLC) and can help you. My birth story is long and if you ask during a treatment I will share it with you. I am here to support your journey, physically and emotionally. I wouldn't change any of it, I am the practitioner I am today because of it. Today I celebrate my daughter birthday and I always reflect on becoming a mother that day, and still haven't gotten tired of hearing the word mommy. (1000x a day!!)

Repost from @getboober Happy Tip Tuesday! Today we’re talking about strategies for coping with pain during labor Providing new, complex sensations to the body sends multiple signals to the brain that can shift or cut down on how we perceive the sensations of contractions! This is called the gate control theory of pain. ... Run a comb over someone's arm or leg or back (in a stroking movement called effleurage) or grip the comb strongly, allowing the teeth to press into your palm @birthdaypresence See more

This cutie was born right smack at the height of the pandemic on April 13th, 2020. His mom came in regularly for massages during her pregnancy and continues to come in postpartum. She is very generously gifting a massage to an essential hospital based health care worker. If you would like a chance to win a 60 minute massage please write in the comments what you do and where your work. We will randomly pick a winner on Monday February 1st.
