Because twelve minutes every four weeks isn't enough...
You get weighed, you hear a heartbeat, someone says everything looks great, and you're back in your car with the questions you actually came in with still unasked.
So you Google at 11pm and get forums, fear, and forty conflicting answers. None of it is organized, none of it is staged to where you are, and most of it isn't from someone who studies pregnant bodies for a living.
Three packets. Staged to where you actually are.
Weeks 0–20 — Building the foundation. Walking, exercise, hydration, stretching, and learning diaphragmatic breathing early so it's automatic by the time it's your labor breath. Plus what to do about the fatigue, nausea, and constipation nobody warned you about.
Weeks 20–30 — The golden stage, and the time to use it. Everything from the first packet, plus daily forward-leaning inversions and squat work to start opening the pelvis and encouraging good fetal position.
Weeks 30–40 — The intentional stage. Add the Side-Lying Release, keep the inversions, and shift everything toward getting baby positioned and your body ready for labor. Plus swelling, sleep, and telling Braxton Hicks from the real thing.
birth prep packets
who made this
I'm a prenatal chiropractor who has spent my career working with pregnant women, and a mom of three who learned the hard way that "just take it easy" is not a plan.
My first pregnancy hurt everywhere. My first birth came with a labor stall and a sunny-side-up baby. These packets are what I wish someone had handed me at week 6 - written the way I'd explain it to a friend instead of the way it appears in a textbook.
These are for you if you want to know what's happening in your body and what to do about it, without a nine-month course or a 400-page book.
Every checklist is built around what fits into a real day — a walk, a few stretches, a squat hold, a glass of water with electrolytes in it. Nothing here needs a gym or an hour you don't have.
As always, check with your OB or midwife before starting something new. That's not fine print, it's just good practice.
this is for you.
