I hope that when you land here, you leave feeling a little lighter, a little brighter and encouraged.

This isn’t a space for comparison or perfection. It’s not about having it all figured out or pretending I have all the answers.

Life after having a baby can feel beautiful, overwhelming, exhausting, and everything in between. Add running a business, caring for your family, and keeping up with everyday life, and it’s a lot to carry.

I’ve always been drawn to a holistic approach to health and healing, so I spent countless hours researching, learning, and trying different things that genuinely supported me through this season.

I’m sharing what helped me because if something I’ve learned or experienced makes this journey feel a little easier for even one person, it’s worth it.

Every time someone comments, “You’re not an OB,” I find myself asking a different question:

Sure don’t listen to me, but why won’t you listen to the people who have dedicated their lives to understanding physiological birth?

There are midwives who have attended hundreds to thousands of births.

There are obstetricians who advocate for protecting physiology.

There are researchers whose careers have been devoted to understanding normal labor and maternal outcomes.

These are the people I’ve spent years learning from.

I’ve also had the privilege of witnessing birth alongside many different providers, in different hospitals, under different models of care. One of the greatest gifts that’s given me is perspective. I’ve seen that the exact same situation can be approached very differently depending on the provider.

You don’t have to listen to me.

In fact, I don’t want you to blindly follow me, your OB, a midwife, or an influencer.

I want you to research.

I want you to ask questions.

I want you to understand the physiology behind your options.

And after you’ve done the work, I want you to be quiet enough to hear your own intuition.

You need knowledge, discernment, and the confidence to make decisions that align with your values and specific needs.

Comment PHYSIOLOGY and I’ll send you a list of the voices that have most shaped my understanding of physiological birth.
I tagged a few of my favorite Instagram midwives. 💗

Follow along if you’re looking for thoughtful conversations about birth, physiology, and informed decision-making. 🤍

✨What happens in the first 24 hours influences what happens in the first 4 days.

✨What happens in the first 4 days influences what happens in the first two weeks.

✨What happens in the first two weeks sets up your breastfeeding journey.

✨If breastfeeding becomes well established in the first two weeks, it is much easier to successfully breastfeed for the long term.

⚠️If breastfeeding is not well established in the first two weeks, it is like playing catch-up for weeks if not months and often results in early ending of the breastfeeding relationship or a mother “not able to make enough milk” (rarely the case with the right start and support).

❗️It is so important to understand the how to make the early days of breastfeeding work BEFORE you get there. Don’t skip this!

🤯 Is the latch keeping you from feeding effectively? 🤯

Breastfeeding is a journey filled with love, bonding, and sometimes... challenges. But remember, mama, it should NOT be painful!

@trishaoludwig from the @downtobirthshow covers it all in the latest Pain Free Birth podcast episode!

Whether you’re a first-time mom or looking for a smoother experience this time around, this episode is for you! 💪

Trisha shares her experiences on:
on:
💧 Achieving the perfect latch
💧 Comfortable breastfeeding positions
💧 The best way to increase milk supply
💧 Recognizing signs that something might be off
💧 Busting common breastfeeding myths

Breastfeeding should be a beautiful, pain-free experience for both you and your baby. If you’re experiencing pain, cracked or bleeding nipples, or a decreased milk supply, these could be signs that your baby isn’t latching well. It’s important to identify and address these issues early on to ensure a smooth breastfeeding journey.
