#Contraction Tracker App

Today was one of those moments where pregnancy humbles you real quick 🤍 Went in for my first BPP at 36 weeks and ended up with some extra monitoring. When baby moved a certain way, her heart rate dipped slightly, which can be common at this stage as she’s getting bigger and has less room. After being monitored for an hour, the doctors said my numbers looked beautiful and everything was reassuring. We didn’t catch her practicing breathing during the scan (which can happen since babies do this in spurts and it’s not always easy to catch at 36 weeks), but everything else looked healthy. The team was just being extra cautious and thorough and didn’t want to miss anything. I was sent home feeling grateful and relieved, and we’ll continue with weekly monitoring from here until birth. Mostly just praying against anxiety and choosing to receive the good news and let go of the fear. If you’ve experienced extra monitoring or a pregnancy scare that turned out okay, I’d love to hear your story 🤍

🔅 Minimal variability in Fetal Monitoring🔅 👀 Watch the videos: https://youtu.be/NWZB7DAADyw https://youtu.be/6iG6xWJVFCQ 👉 Variability is the fluctuations in the fetal heart rate baseline that are irregular in amplitude and frequency. Minimal variability is 5 beats or less in amplitude variation. This is not a reassuring pattern. but it also may not be concerning. The 3 main causes for minimal variability: 👉 Sleeping - a fetus can sleep for 30 to 45 minutes 👉 Sedated - Narcotics and other medications given to the mother as these cross the placenta 👉 Sick - baby could be hypoxic ✅️ Follow Everything OB: Maternal Newborn Nursing on Facebook and @everything.ob on Instagram for daily practice questions (MCQs), information, and new videos every week to support your learning or nursing practice. #nursingstudent #fetalmonitoring #maternity #laboranddelivery #everythingob

When contractions start, panic is natural — but preparation is powerful. Here are 3 things I always tell my moms NOT to do (backed by science & labour room experience): ❌ Holding your breath or tensing up ✅ Practice deep, slow breathing ✅ Try the in-4, out-6 method ✅ Keeps oxygen flowing to baby ✅ Helps reduce pain and fatigue ❌ Lying flat on your back ✅ Choose upright positions ✅ Squatting, kneeling, leaning forward ✅ Sitting on a birthing ball ✅ Gravity helps baby move down smoothly ❌ Panicking or overthinking every sensation ✅ Create a calm environment ✅ Dim lights and soft music ✅ Support from partner or doula ✅ Focus on one contraction at a time Labour is hard — but it’s not about fighting pain blindly. It’s about understanding your body and working with it 💚 I teach these small mindset + movement shifts to every mom I prepare for normal delivery. 💾 Save this if you’re in your 3rd trimester or planning your birth soon. . #pregnancy #pregnant #momtobe #normaldelivery #reels

Listening to fetal heart tones during prenatal visits helps us check in on baby and offers reassurance along the way. It should be apart of routine prenatal care, and is just as important and essential during labor.

Wondering when you’ll feel baby move, and what’s normal? In the 1st trimester most people don’t feel movement yet. In the 2nd trimester, flutters often start around 16–22 weeks, then get stronger and more consistent. In the 3rd trimester, you’ll feel bigger rolls and jabs, what matters most is your baby’s usual pattern. If movement decreases or something feels off, contact your OB/midwife right away. #babymovement #babykicks #pregnancyweekbyweek #pregnancyjourney #trimester #secondtrimester #thirdtrimester #firsttrimester #quickening #pregnancytips #newmom #expectingmom #bumpdate #prenatalcare #obgyn #midwife #pregnancyeducation

Getting out with a newborn gets easier the more you do it, BUT also, you know yourself and if it brings you more peace to stay home then that’s ok too. If you do want to get out more do small outings first: low stress like drive thrus or enclosed parks. It DOES get easier 🩷 #momtobe #pregnant #laboranddelivery #toddler #newborn

Tips that helped me during my labor and delivery ❤️

37 weeks and so thankful she is okay, I've been feeling her consistently since 15 weeks so was very alarmed when I didn't feel her as much. Also, we went back once we got our other vehicle and the dog was no longer there. This is the second stray animal we attempted to save coming home from an OBGYN appt😂 #thirdtrimester #pregnancy #laboranddelivery #obgynappointment #babyprep
