I can’t be the only one 🤣 (and before you recommend one … grease splatter screens don’t work)

1 thing I’m adding to my birth prep: 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭 ✔️

In the birthing class we’re taking, we learned that around 34 weeks, it can be helpful to swap out your chair for a birthing ball to encourage more movement throughout the day. I also learned how useful it can be to help with back pain, hip pain and pelvic pressure, while supporting better posture and easing tension.

I’m excited to use mine throughout the rest of pregnancy, during birth, and postpartum. I’ve seen so many moms use their ball while holding their newborn, so I love that it’s something I’ll be able to continue using after baby girl arrives.

The Momcozy Birthing Ball comes as a complete set with a base, slip-resistant surface, anti-burst design and a 330-lb capacity. It’s also BPA-free and PVC-free, which I really appreciate. 💓 Momcozy

LADIES .. Tell me I’m wrong

I lost both my parents to heart disease.

When my annual physical in March (‘25) revealed undesirable blood markers, I knew I needed to make big shifts. 𝘐 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘥 (I was 34) to see if lifestyle intervention could help. I know this isn’t always the case …
