Our Bodies are Built to Birth.
Pregnancy lasts around 280 days or 40 weeks (give or take). During this time your baby grows from a little speckle into a tiny human. Your baby knows how to grow organs, a brain, skin, feet, hands, eyes, nose and everything in between.
A baby grows in 3 layers
The first layer is the nervous system and brain
the second layer is the major organs including the lungs and digestive system
and the third layer is the heart, blood system, muscles, and bones.
No wonder pregnant mummas are so tired! Babies have gotta draw their energy to grow from somewhere right?
So just a gentle reminder for all the pregnant mummas out there, if your baby can do all of that, they can birth too. We are built to birth.
