We LOVE Weleda products and think babies do too!

Repost• @weledababyuk “Firstly, the smell… the whole range smelt divine, as if your baby has a lovely sweet smelling perfume but without the harshness. Secondly, all products are gentle on the skin and left Elaia’s skin feeling silky smooth. And lastly, using all the products as quality one on one time, not just part of your everyday routine, talking and singing whilst using the skincare products, a real precious moment between you and baby.” - @alifewiththehills

Have you tried the Calendula range? We’d love to know what you think 🧡

@oasi_mum shared her story with us at All4Birth ‘Sharing my story isn’t easy, but it’s important. As a midwife and a mother, I never imagined my journey would take this turn. The lifelong challenges I now face after a complicated birth are a reality many women endure in silence. It’s time we break the taboo, talk about these injuries, and support each other. Remember, it’s not just about the baby—mums matter too. 💛 #BirthTrauma #WomensHealth #BreakTheSilence #SupportEachOther ...

@carolinepackarddpt makes fantastic reels all about different aspects of pelvic health beyond kegels. Resharing this super practical one today 💜

Posted @withregram • @carolinepackarddpt Comment “workspace” I’ll send you a free handout with all these tips to implement.

Not sponsored content just sharing the chair we have, @anthroschair and how it helps meet these ergonomic considerations.

🪑✨ Optimize Your Workspace for Better Pelvic Floor Health! ✨🪑

Sitting hurts- and depending on what positions you trend toward, can increase your pelvic floor tension (like constant slumping on your bottom). It’s fine to do every now and then, but setting yourself up for better success with some guided workspace ergonomics can be helpful.

The more effectively can set up the rib cage over the pelvis, the more easily we tap into the diaphragm and pelvic floor working together with each breath. These concepts of chair and desk set up make it easier to maintain that.

🧘‍♀️ Here are some tips to create an ergonomic environment that supports your pelvic health:

🔹 Adjust Your Chair: Ensure your feet are flat on the ground, hips all the way back in the chair and back fully supported. A slight forward tilt of the pelvis (find this by finding extremes of forward and posterior) which is helped by a lumbar support.
🔹 Position Your Screen: Keep your computer screen at eye level to avoid rounding forward if too low or looking up for long durations.
🔹 Take Breaks: Stand up, stretch, and move around every 30-60 minutes to reduce pelvic floor pressure. I love these little breaks to improve breathing and opening especially the back of the pelvic floor which can get tight.

Small changes can make a big difference in how you feel throughout the day! 💪🌟 #Ergonomics #PelvicFloorHealth #WorkspaceWellness #PostureMatters #HealthyHabits

Posted @withregram • @the.ivf.warrior IVF vs. ICSI: What’s the Difference?

IVF involves combining eggs and sperm in a lab to allow fertilization. ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a more targeted technique where a single sperm is directly injected into an egg.

In this video, you see a detailed step-by-step guide to injecting an egg during ICSI from the eyes of embryologist Alease @alease_the_embryologist
