Cluster feeding happens when babies are going through growth spurts, and start wanting to nurse frequently. To boost your milk supply to keep up with your baby's cluster feeding demands, you may want to try power pumping.
During pregnancy, there's an increase in circulating blood volume, which causes hearts to have to pump harder and quicker. It’s normal for pregnant women to have higher than normal heart rates, but some women also develop blood pressure issues.
Pregnancy is one of the only times in our lives that we are expected to gain weight. Healthy and optimal pregnancy weight gain depends on multiple factors, including your pre-pregnancy weight and body mass index (BMI).
Pregnancy is hard on the body. In just a few short months, pregnant women experience weight gain, loose ligaments, and a shifting center of gravity. Our bodies shift around to accommodate, and we often notice changes in how we stand, walk, and move around throughout the day. This can lead to back pain, pelvic pain, and wild changes in balance for pregnant women. Fortunately, support is out there!
