Your provider mentioned a steroid shot in the third trimester. What does that even mean? Why would we even consider that?

Antenatal steroids are one of the most studied interventions in obstetrics and can significantly improve outcomes for babies who may be born prematurely. While nobody plans for an early birth, understanding your options can help you make informed decisions if the situation arises.

Have you ever heard of steroid shots during pregnancy?👇

Here are my favorite birth prep must-haves for those last few weeks of pregnancy✨

-Intentional Movement
This can look like a walk around the block, spinning babies, going to the gym, prenatal yoga, or even intentionally moving from side to side in your bed at night😆

-Stay hydrated
Hydration is critical during pregnancy, make sure you’re getting at least 100 oz of water each day. Throw in some electrolytes or trace mineral drops in there. Your hydration today started with what you were drinking yesterday. This matters. Your uterus is a muscle and requires water to work properly. While your body is gearing up for labor, getting adequate hydration will help ward off many unwanted end of pregnancy uncomfortable symptoms.

-Continue taking your supplements and prenatal vitamins
Stay strong through the end of your pregnancy on your diet, nutrition and supplements. This will help you during labor, but also puts you on the right foot for entering the postpartum period.

-Finalize your birth plan
Even birthing at home, have a birth plan and discuss it with your care provider. It’s important to talk with your care provider about what’s important to you during your birth. In the hospital, print out 2-3 copies of your birth plan so that everyone who works with you can be on the same page with you at the very beginning!

-Red Raspberry Leaf Tea🌱
Don’t underestimate this uterotonic and how powerful it can be to help get your body prepared for labor. If tea isn’t your favorite thing, you can also take a supplement.

-Have a Doula
Having someone in your corner that stays through hospital shift change, comes in early labor, knows you and your wishes cannot be overstated. Having a doula as part of your birth team is such a pivotal piece to your birth. Utilize them and their wealth of knowledge and resources.

-6-7 dates a day after 36 weeks
The research is in, dates DO make a difference in those last few weeks of pregnancy. If you enjoy them as they are, lucky you! If not, making a recipe including dates can be a great way to incorporate them in your last few weeks of pregnancy.

Remember- even if you do all of this or not, you’re still going to have your baby in your arms SO soon.

OB care is often built around offense + reaction.
Midwifery care is often rooted in defense + prevention.

Why does that matter in birth?

Because the way your provider approaches pregnancy changes the entire experience.

Reactive care often steps in after a problem appears.
Proactive care focuses on supporting the body, monitoring patterns early, educating continuously, and protecting normal physiology before complications arise.

Midwifery care often emphasizes:
• nutrition + hydration
• movement + positioning
• emotional safety
• informed consent
• longer prenatal visits
• prevention-focused education
• supporting physiologic birth

There is no right way to approach your care, and oftentimes, pieces of both these models are effective for positive outcomes. Both models have an important place. OBs are vital for high-risk care and surgery. Midwives are experts in supporting healthy, low-risk pregnancy and physiological birth.

Birth outcomes are influenced not only by what care you receive, but also by how that care is practiced.
One model is trained to intervene when things go wrong.
The other is trained to help keep things going right.

Birth outcomes are influenced not only by what care you receive — but how that care is practiced.

Your birth team matters.
Your environment matters.
Feeling informed, supported, and safe in your body and experience matters.

Long after your placenta is done growing your baby, it can still nourish you✨

A placenta tincture is one way some families choose to continue honoring and utilizing the incredible work a placenta provides long after birth. Unlike capsules, tinctures are often saved for months or even years postpartum and used during seasons of hormonal shifts, emotional overwhelm, weaning, PMS, or big life transitions like menopause and perimenopause 🌿

Some reported benefits of placenta tinctures include:
✨ emotional grounding
✨ mood support during hormonal changes
✨ support while weaning
✨ comfort during PMS or cycle return
✨ energetic support during stress or illness
✨ long shelf life + only tiny doses needed

Book your placenta encapsulation with and add a placenta tincture

Your postpartum deserves intention, nourishment, and support, not just survival. 🌼🐝

“I really want a homebirth, but it’s my first so I’m going to have a hospital birth first to make sure nothing happens and I can do it.”

We hear this all. the. time.

And honestly, I can understand why.

In a culture that’s taught women to silence themselves, fear birth, and mistrust their own instincts, it makes a lot of sense to think about birth like a ‘trial run.’

But birth isn’t a trial run.

It isn’t something you have to earn.
And you do not need to prove you’re capable of an unmedicated birth before choosing a setting that feels safest, calmest, and most aligned for you.

Hot take: A hospital birth is not a prerequisite for a homebirth. And for many low-risk birthers, planned homebirth is also a very safe option.

I often see a mentality of choosing a hospital birth first leading to a homebirth for a redemptive and healing experience for the second.

You are allowed to ask questions.
You are allowed to weigh risks and benefits.
You are allowed to choose the environment where you feel most supported.

Not because birth is risk-free.
Not because one setting is perfect.
But because informed choice matters.

The goal isn’t to “survive” your first birth so you can finally trust yourself later.
The goal is to walk into birth informd, supported, and respected from the very beginning.
