Maternal Strong

During these uncertain times I urge you to stay educated! Check out reputable sources such as the CDC. I am hesitant to put information in this post as information is constantly changing but from a labor & delivery nurse here is what I encourage you to do!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have questions or concerns regarding your pregnancy PLEASE call your OB provider, midwife or Labor & Delivery triage FIRST to see if you need to be evaluated. A phone call can sometimes save you a trip from leaving your house reducing your risk of exposure to COVID-19.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are experiencing Coronavirus symptoms: cough, fever, shortness of breath. Call your provider, they will decide if you are eligible to get tested and where to go.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ask questions about what changes have been made about where you are going to delivery!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✧ How has the visiting policy changed?
✧ Who can be with me at the bedside?
✧ Can support people switch?
✧ Is my private doula allowed as a visitor?
✧ Can siblings visit?
✧ Is the visiting policy the same in NICU + PP?
✧ How early postpartum can I be discharged?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Empower yourself with education during this time mama! This is a time when information is fluid and constantly changing. Speak up regarding your care and never be afraid to ask questions! Have questions, ask below 👇🏼
Stay healthy mamas ♥

Since I became a Bloom Method Licensee I have been getting a lot of questions about what is The Bloom Method? The Bloom Method empowers expecting and postpartum mamas with safe and sweaty workouts to keep you fit during pregnancy, train for birth, and re-strengthen postpartum.

✧ BirthPREP ✧

I am sooo excited to bring The Bloom Method BirthPREP class to San Diego. This class is for all expecting mamas and as a Labor & Delivery nurse I LOVE this class!

This class is designed to train and prepare your mind and body for labor & delivery. Birth is often viewed as a marathon of contractions and rest periods, this class mimic’s the intensity, peaks and duration of contractions by moving you through and challenging you in different exercises to strengthen your foundation and mentally prepare you for your birth. In this class you will learn The Bloom Method foundations to assist in connecting you to your core and pelvic floor through your breath and give you the tools needed to prepare a healthy, strong core and pelvic floor for labor, delivery and postpartum.
