Before you call it demonic ask yourself, is it evil, or is it just something you don’t understand yet? Yoga helped me breathe, soften, stretch, release, and reconnect with the body God gave me. by @shancoa

Growth doesn’t come from comfort… it comes from the moments that test you.
In today’s practice, we leaned into the challenge, breathed through it, and came out stronger on the other side. 🌱

The Galore Club is where we grow together.

Come with to a pelvic floor appointment 💚
Pregnancy can place a lot of pressure on the pelvic floor, and sometimes that tension shows up as pelvic or vulvar discomfort. 🤰🏽✨

Pelvic floor therapy can help identify areas of tightness, improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and prepare the body for birth. In this session, the therapist used an internal technique to assess and release tension in the pelvic floor muscles.

Birth prep is more than just getting ready for labor—it’s learning how to support your body through every stage of pregnancy. 🌿

Birth prep is more than just packing a hospital bag. 🤰🏽✨

These movements help support hip mobility, pelvic opening, lower-body strength, balance, and comfort as your body prepares for labor.

Squats, hip circles, lunges, and intentional movement can help you become more familiar with positions you may naturally use during birth.

Your body deserves preparation, movement, and support before labor even begins. 💛

Save this for your birth prep routine and share it with an expecting mama.

Dad doesn’t have to just stand on the sidelines during birth. 🤎

From supporting hip circles on the birth ball to applying a double hip squeeze during contractions, partners can learn real hands on tools that help mom feel supported, grounded, and less alone.

Birth prep isn’t just for mama. Dad deserves to walk into the birth room with confidence too. 🌿

Louisiana’s maternal health statistics are important because they reveal serious gaps in the health, safety, and quality of care experienced by pregnant and postpartum families across the state. Louisiana has continued to face concerning rates of pregnancy-related complications and deaths, with Black mothers experiencing a disproportionate share of poor maternal outcomes. These statistics help us understand where additional support, education, advocacy, and access to culturally responsive care are needed most. They also highlight why services such as doula support, prenatal education, postpartum care, mental health resources, and stronger connections between families and healthcare providers are essential. Paying attention to maternal health data is not just about numbers it is about identifying preventable disparities, improving systems of care, and ensuring that every mother in Louisiana has the opportunity to experience pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with dignity, information, support, and safety. by @shancoa
