This is for my VBAC TO BE MAMA'S (But also all of ya). ⁠⁠This is a stellar plan for anyone finding themselves needing to be induced.⁠⁠👉🏻Hey! I'm Trish❤️ , or @labor.nurse.mama *Join my waitlist (link in bio) for an empowering stand-alone birth course for my VBAC mama's all online, at your own pace, including a private community with personal access to me👩‍⚕️ ⁠⁠Being induced can be an option for a VBAC mom. Don't let your provider tell you it is not. Now that being said, your individual situation hasn't to be considered. But there is not a blanket statement saying it's not good for VBACs to be induced.⁠⁠Here's the truth: Induction increases the risks for ALL MOM's to have interventions come into play. Including a Cesarean (also an intervention not an alternative).⁠⁠So if your provider is saying that no way no how are we inducing. I am sorry to tell you that your provider is not VBAC friendly but rather VBAC Tolerant. There is a difference, look for a post soon outlining it.⁠⁠Be sure if you are not told otherwise, to start with sex. Lots of sex with semen inside. This can help soften your cervix. You may not be in the mood, I get it. But take one for the team 😭⁠⁠Sit in a deep squat often throughout the day!⁠⁠So here's my gentle induction plan for induction:⁠⁠✌🏻Ask for a membrane sweep or two, this can get stuff going⁠⁠👉🏽 Ask your OB to start with a foley bulb (preferably outpatient, you have to be 1 cm at least) or Dilapan S rods, You can labor at home and go in when it falls out at 3-4 cm.⁠⁠👉🏽 Do some nipple stimulation, I prefer you do this once you're at the hospital. Let your OB know, and you can do it at home.⁠⁠👉🏽 If you need Pitocin, ask for them to start low, go up slowly, and at a low dose. Tell them you want them to turn it off when you are in active labor. (This is proven to be best and least likely to stress out baby and your body) ( ⭐️This goes for all of you, not just VBACs⭐️)⁠⁠DO not let them break your water until active labor is established as that starts a clock and you don't need that kind of pressure. YOU CAN SAY NO!!⁠⁠What was your experience with induction? ⁠⁠⁠

Mama, not everyone is ready.

Goals for Postpartum recovery Period:⁠⁠🎗️Nurture your Baby⁠⁠🎗️Heal your Body⁠⁠🎗️I did not say clean, cook, or organize things.⁠⁠👉🏻❤️ this post | Follow @labor.nurse.mama for more pregnancy, birth, & motherhood education/information👩‍⚕️ ⁣⁣⁠⁠Your house and the one million things you do daily can wait or be delegated to family and friends. Accept help when offered, 😉 take a nap when baby naps, and eat healthy meals.⁠⁠To keep your items organized and easy to move, I suggest that you get a basket, tote, or a utility cart with wheels.⁠⁠Things you take for granted now are a bit harder and quite the experience after birth.⁠⁠Like going to the bathroom, be prepared that it is not quick. I liked my utility cart bc I can keep what I need handy. (Stock one level for the baby)⁠⁠You should include:⁠⁠Cotton Panties⁠⁠Pads⁠⁠Nipple cream⁠⁠Breast pads⁠⁠A nursing pillow⁠⁠Perineal Spray⁠⁠Tucks pads⁠⁠Abdominal Binder (for those cesarean mamas)⁠⁠Be sure to read the full post and click the links to the products I recommend. You don't have to get them, but it gives you an idea of what to buy to prepare. Also, check out the previous posts on making DIY Padsicles and DIY Perineal spray. ⁠⁠👇🏼👇🏼 Comment with your thoughts and thing you couldn't live without during Postpartum Recovery⁠⁠

Oh, mama, this age is so much fun!! There is nothi

Oh, mama, this age is so much fun!! There is nothing quite like a baby giggle. ⁠⁠💕 Hey, I am Trish or @labor.nurse.mama. You guys asked for a newborn course, and we listened; it launches Sunday for a mac daddy discount, be on the lookout!⁠⁠I used to lay Greyson on my bed, place my hands on either side of him, and bounce him; the giggle he had was heartwarming and made even my teens laugh.⁠⁠So let's talk about your bundle of joy at 5-6 months:⁠⁠🐤 Those hands are getting busy and more coordinated.⁠⁠🐥 When I say your baby will most likely not go to strangers now, expect to hear a wail; they know their peeps!⁠⁠🐤 Many Peds say to start solids at 6 months, go with your instincts; I started with avocado! It's a portion of healthy whole-fat food.⁠⁠🐥 Most babies at this age sleep 11 hours per night; mine still wake to eat at night at 6 mo so..., they will also take a total of 3-4 hours of sleep during the day.⁠⁠🐤 EVERYTHING goes to the mouth, be mindful of what is within reach, lol!⁠⁠🐥 Cherish the M and B sounds, mamamamma, babababa!⁠⁠🐤 Watch as they respond to their name or nicknames (if you are like us).⁠⁠🐥 Breastfed babies typically eat 5-7 times a day. Bottle-fed babies 5-6 times, 6-7 oz per feeding.⁠⁠🐤 Your little one just might be sitting on their own now!⁠⁠Always be patient; I have 7 kids, some things they didn't do on time, and some they did early. ⁠⁠👇🏽 Comment below with your favorite thing your little guy is doing now! 👇🏽⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#honestlymothering #thisismotherhood #mothersarethebest #mynameismama #momadvice #momtips #mommemes #mommeme #parentingtips #parentmemes #mommytime #motheringlikeaboss #dailymom #momhelp #momworthy #maternalmhmatters #mylifeasamom #momtruth #honestmom #newmommy #firsttimemom #momtruths #maternityleave #healthymomhealthybaby #healthymommy #newmama #sahmlife #sahmproblems #sahmomlife #labornursemama
