RG+📷 • @mommy.labornurse — BTW, @douladoula explained this in our @carriagehousebirth CBE class yesterday like a BOSS.✊ ........ Just so you guys know....you have a voice in the delivery room, and in your prenatal care!!⁣ .⁣ If you don’t like the way something is done, you have questions, or you just don’t feel like you are being treated fairly, SPEAK UP! ⁣ .⁣ It’s OKAY to be assertive, and it’s OKAY to advocate for yourself, in fact, you SHOULD advocate for yourself!⁣ .⁣ Providers, nurses, or any member of your healthcare team DON’T always know exactly what’s best for you, and YOU are an important part of the healthcare team too!⁣ .⁣ It’s IMPORTANT to educate yourself about birth & know what you do and don’t want, and it’s also IMPORTANT to LISTEN to your provider if he/she is suggesting something you are wary of. ⁣ .⁣ Listen, understand the pros and cons, and then BOTH come to a decision that you both feel comfortable on!⁣ .⁣ And, trust your gut! 🥰⁣ .⁣ Ok, rant over, but seriously guys THIS IS IMPORTANT! ♥️ I can’t tell you how many women I get messages from saying they felt they were either unfairly treated, or didn’t know they could refuse something!⁣ 💓💓💓⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #pregnancyeducation #doulalife #knowyourrights #pregnancy #informedconsent #choicesinchildbirth #birthisnormal #advocate #educateyourself #yourbodyyourbabyyourbirth

RG • @badassmotherbirther . Did you know that your baby could be born with a little or a lot of body hair? This body hair is called Lanugo and it’s completely normal. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲. 🌿Lanugo is the first hair that your baby starts to form in the womb. 🌿It is very soft, fine, usually unpigmented and covers the bodies of almost all babies except for his palms, the soles of his feet, lips, genitals, nails and sides of fingers and toes. 🌿This hair usually starts to form on a fetus around 5 months gestation. 🌿This unpigmented hair generally falls off or is consumed by your baby between the 36th and 40th week of pregnancy. 🌿Babies born prematurely tend to have more lanugo present than those born full term, although many full term babies are born with lots of lanugo and is not a reason for concern. 🌿Any leftover Lanugo disappears on its own within a few days or weeks after birth. You do not need to do anything except wait for it to fall off on its own. 🌿It does not mean your baby will tend to have more body hair as an adult. 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐆𝐎 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐃𝐎? ➖it serves as a barrier to protect your baby’s skin from the constant submersion in amniotic fluid. ➖when it starts to fall off in the womb, your baby swallows it and it is stored in his intestines and helps form meconium, which is the first bowel movement your little one will have. ➖it helps vernix adhere to your baby’s skin. Vernix is a waxy white substance which helps your baby stay nice and warm in utero plus MANY other benefits(please read my article on benefits of vernix at badassmotherbirther.com/vernix-caseosa PhotoCred: @sarahfairlight #newbornbaby #birthisbeautiful #themoreyouknow #doulalove
