I know this might seem a little crazy, but I decided that it's time to make some BIG changes here at MLN to make birth education more accessible and affordable across the board. And quite frankly, I don't want to wait. So from now until Sunday, you get all three of my online birth classes for just $79!! Here’s to more accessible borth education for everybody 🫶

The ✨SITZ BATH✨ If you haven’t heard of this brilliant post-baby hack, keep reading! 🙏Sitz baths can provide relief from soreness, tears, or hemorrhoids. It’s basically a lil bath you for your perineal region! 👉The sitz bath I’m using in the video is from amazon - and this one is great because it just sitz right on top on your toilet, and doesn’t use much water. 🛀Alternatively, you can find relief from a sitz bath for free by just sitzing in your bathtub, with 2-3 inches of warm water. (Just make sure you clean your bathtub first!!) FULL baths aren’t recommended post-birth for a few weeks (because soaking your ENTIRE body in a tub is more likely to lead to infection) - but, sitz baths are perfectly safe to soak in for 10-15 minutes 2-3 times per day! Adding Epsom salts, or essential oils can provide extra relief too! Going to try this?? Save this post for when you need it! And, gimme a 🙌 emoji in the comments if already know the power of sits baths and you’re a fan!!

So, in theory, having sex could potentially help get things moving if your body is ready for labor! Did you try to 'get it on' before labor?! 👇

You’ll continue to lose water weight in the first weeks after birth There you go, mama, hope that helps prepare you for what’s to come!
