Getting Ready to Grow Your Baby New Beginnings Going through something new or challenging, like pregnancy and birth, is an opportunity for profound learning. I found that the answers to so many of my questions and anxieties were waiting for me in the form of research and stories from those who had walked the path before me. Movement & the Mighty Pelvis We all have different starting points and have moved differently in different bodies over our lifetimes. It makes sense that when we get pregnant, we start at different points of alignment, strength, and endurance, and the way I choose to move isn’t the way you have to choose to move. Cultivating Your Baby's Microbiome The compositional changes in the microbiome impact our baby’s weight gain and future body composition, immunity, and health. Your microbiota may be one of the most important influences on you and your child’s health after birth. Men's Reproductive Health The big three characteristics that define men's reproductive health are shape, mobility, and count. Before people contribute in the process of making a person, they are generally not counseled on nutrition and lifestyle and how their choices impact fertility. Conception, Growing Your Baby & Birth The First Trimester Early pregnancy is a moment of great transformation, and it might be marked by emotional swings, fatigue, and morning sickness. Hormones and physiological changes shape these shifts, while our embodiment acknowledges and accepts them. Endocrine Changes & Avoiding Toxins During pregnancy we are at once more powerful and protective, yet more vulnerable, than at any other time in our life. The Second & Third Trimester Our physical and psychological health share a beating heart with our surroundings, and the more we nurture that which surrounds us, or our entire ecosystem, the greater the benefit to us, our families, and the babies we grow. Birth! Your unique physiology, personal history, and present situation come together to form your experience of becoming a parent. You deserve access to high-quality information, deep, unwavering support, and a feeling of focused empowerment. Growing Your Baby on the Outside Rest, Recovery & Gentle Movement Discover what you need to help you heal and care for your baby. Traditional cultures focus on a defined period of rest, specific healing foods, and extensive prearranged support for the new parent-baby dyad. Our environment is just as important postpartum as it is during birth and can either support or hinder our hormonal health and our relationship with our baby. Feeding Your Baby Understand that how you feed your baby varies based on the context of your life. Our habits and ecology, the amount of support we receive, the requirements of our jobs, where our babies sleep, and our parent and family structures are diverse, so the way we nourish our babies varies and won’t look the same from family to family. Define what feeding your baby looks like for you in the context of your life and habits. Your Brain on Baby In response to a newborn, certain parts of our brains are activated that give us a hit in our reward and motivation circuits when we care for our infant. Our ability to understand our infant’s cues and empathetically respond is enhanced, and we are encouraged to keep our cool in response to stressors. Family Planning Note the changes in your body, including signs of fertility, after childbirth. Fertility returns in stages and requires that we pay careful attention and relearn the cycles of our bodies. Find helpful illustrations and infographics throughout to accompany your journey from conception to birth and beyond.
