Why do contractions come in waves? 🌊

A contraction isn’t constant. It builds gradually, reaches a peak, and then slowly releases—giving your body and baby a moment to rest before the next one begins.

That rhythm is part of what makes labor possible. You don’t have to endure hours of contraction all at once. You experience one wave, then a break, then another wave.

As labor progresses, contractions typically become longer, stronger, and closer together. But every labor is different, and the experience of each contraction can vary, too.

During a contraction, try focusing only on the wave you’re in:

🌊 Breathe through the rise
🌊 Relax into the peak
🌊 Let your body soften as it releases
🌊 Rest and reset in the space between

You don’t have to do all of labor at once. Just one contraction at a time. 🤍

🤱 The first week of breastfeeding: your milk changes, and so does baby’s p**p!

The first week can feel like a whirlwind. You’re learning your baby, your baby is learning you, and your breastmilk is changing day by day to meet exactly what they need.

Here’s a little peek at what you may notice:

Days 1–2: Colostrum 💛
Your breasts produce colostrum — thick, concentrated, nutrient-rich milk that’s perfectly designed for those tiny first days. Baby only needs small amounts at each feeding.

Baby’s first p**ps are meconium: thick, sticky, and very dark green/black.

Days 2–4: Transitional milk 🌿
Your milk gradually becomes lighter, creamier, and more plentiful. This is often when parents notice their breasts feeling fuller or heavier.

As baby gets more milk, those dark p**ps begin changing, too — from meconium → dark green → lighter green/brown.

Around days 3–5: Milk “comes in” 🥛
For many parents, mature milk noticeably increases around 3–5 days after birth. It can happen earlier or take a little longer, especially after a first birth.

You may suddenly feel very full, warm, or even engorged. Baby’s p**ps usually continue changing until they become yellow, loose, and seedy — that classic breastfed-baby p**p! 💩💛

By the end of the first week, feeding and diaper patterns can look very different from those first couple of days.

And remember: diapers are one of the ways we can tell how feeding is going. If you’re concerned about baby’s intake, diaper output, jaundice, or weight, reach out to your pediatrician or an IBCLC.

The first week is a lot. This is one of the best times to have extra support 🤍

Check out our top 3 tips for pushing with an epidural ✨

🤍Getting an epidural does not mean you’ll be stuck pushing on your back. Side lying and upright positions work really well even when you don’t have much sensation and if you are able to move, use the back of the bed to support you in an all fours position. Try different positions until you find one that works for you!

🤍If you’re 10cm dilated, but still don’t feel pressure, give your body some time to get baby lower into the birth canal. This can greatly cut down on pushing time.

🤍The mirror can either be a hard no or a hard yes. Being able to get a visual of the progress when you push effectively can be a great motivator. Ask your support team about utilizing the birth bar or tug of war too!

What helped you most when pushing with an epidural?

You don’t need to have it all together before your doula arrives. 🤍

Your house doesn’t need to be clean.
The laundry doesn’t need to be folded.
The dishes can be in the sink.
You don’t need to have showered.
You don’t need to know exactly what you’re doing.

And you definitely don’t need to apologize for any of it!

Your postpartum doula isn’t coming to judge your home, your feeding choices, your routine, or how you’re handling motherhood.

We’re coming to meet you exactly where you are. 🤍

Maybe you need a shower.
Maybe you need a nap.
Maybe you need someone to hold the baby while you eat a hot meal.
Maybe you need help figuring out why the baby won’t sleep.
Maybe you just need another adult in the room who understands.

You don’t have to get everything together before you ask for help. Asking for help is how you start putting things back together. 🤍

That’s what postpartum support is for 🫶
