Having a MOMent

Today we discuss the other approach to childbirth: the c-section! There can be such a negative stigma around having a c-section, but today we discuss how wrong this way of thinking is and celebrate all things c-section! We'll discuss the impressive and life-saving medicines and doctors involved in the procedure as well as what to expect for any of your pregnant mamas out there nervously anticipating your c-section! Wear your scar proudly!

Welcome back to another episode! It's go time, and today we uncover what to "expect" during labor.

Welcome back to another episode of Having a MOMent!! This is the first episode in our new series all about the science behind what happens to our bodies during the different stages of pregnancy and birth! You might be wondering why we are even talking about this, but to be honest, it's a topic that FASCINATES us. Our hope is to shed some light on the 'why' behind what we experience, and to highlight how incredible our bodies are! In today's episode we begin by covering some facts about conception and the first trimester. 

We are SO excited to dive into a brand new series with you all! Today we intro our new series as we gear up to dive into all the biological nitty gritty details that happen during motherhood!
