The Birth Store

Forgetting why you walked into a room? Losing your train of thought mid-sentence? Welcome to pregnancy brain 🧠🤍

Hormonal shifts, mental load, and sheer exhaustion can all play a role so if you’re feeling a little foggy, you’re definitely not alone!

Give yourself permission to slow down, write things down, and laugh it off where you can. You’ve got a lot on your mind (and growing in your body) 🤰🏼

The postpartum period can feel like a blur of emotions with so much love, exhaustion, overwhelm, and everything in between 🤍

If today feels heavy, know that you’re not alone in this. You’re learning, healing, and showing up in ways that don’t always get seen, and it’s completely normal for some days to feel harder than others.

Take it one moment at a time and remind yourself that you’re a wonderful parent.

Delayed cord clamping means waiting before cutting the umbilical cord, allowing more blood to transfer from the placenta to your baby. It is a small pause after birth that can make a meaningful difference 🤍

This may help:
• Support higher iron levels
• Assist baby’s transition to life outside the womb
• Promote better circulation in those first moments

It’s a simple option that many care providers support and can be worth adding to your birth preferences ✨
