Parents and caregivers evacuating with young children have extra concerns. While we encourage everyone to monitor and heed instructions from emergency authorities, those who are pregnant or who have young children have to plan ahead. Don't put off leaving and give yourself as much time as possible to prepare and travel. Do you have questions about what you need to pack, worries about breastfeeding or how to feed your baby while you are away from home?

Our volunteers are ready to answer questions and to refer you to local services for more help. Message us, email ([email protected]) or call our hotline at 1-833-225-3330.

So cool!
(Post menopausal uterus so it’s smaller than a premenopausal uterus)

😮 Never doubt that our bodies are magnificent, wondrous, and intricately, intelligently detailed. This incredible visual from (via — thank you for all of the valuable information!) is of an adult, post menopausal uterus removed in a radical hysterectomy. . “The average uterus is 3-4 inches by 2.5 inches. In menstruating woman [sic] the uterus grows up to 3x its original size. When your baby reaches full term, your uterus will be bigger than five times its original size with a capacity of 500 times more than before you conceived. It'll be 15 times heavier on its own without the baby and the placenta. After you give birth, the uterus immediately starts contracting to shrink itself. One week after delivery it'll weigh about 1.5 pounds but two weeks after birth it'll be down to 11 ounces. By the six week after pregnancy it'll be back to its pre-pregnancy weight of 2.5 ounces.” .
Jaw. Drop. 😳❤️🔴
