Pregnancy + Postpartum

Pregnancy + Postpartum: Birmingham Mom Collective

The path to motherhood is a profound and intricate journey through pregnancy and postpartum.  It involves not only the biological aspects of conceiving but also the emotional and psychological challenges one may encounter. Although infertility hurdles may seem overwhelming, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Birmingham Mom Collective offers infertility support to women and couples facing these challenges. 

Pregnancy is an amazing time in a woman’s life, as she prepares to embrace motherhood. This stage brings about many physical and emotional changes, and it is important for women to have access to resources and experiences of fellow mothers through it all. From understanding the different stages of pregnancy to taking care of their diet and getting ready for labor, having detailed information and guidance can greatly support expectant moms.

Postpartum, also known as the ‘fourth trimester’, is a phase that is sometimes overlooked but just as important as the earlier stages. It’s a time for healing, adjusting, and figuring out the challenges of new parenthood. The physical and emotional changes can be overwhelming, so resources for postpartum care, including mental health support, are really crucial.

Pregnancy and postpartum stages all come with their own set of challenges and experiences. Birmingham Mom Collective is here to offer support and resources along the journey to motherhood and beyond.

People always ask if my pregnancies have been similar or different (usually it's a question of feeling different with different gender babies). But my first pregnancy is so much harder to compare with the others. Why? Because it was...
I have to admit, I can be quite competitive. I grew up playing multiple sports, so striving to be #1 has been my goal many times. Now, although I have this competitive streak, I can safely say that I...
My 3-month fitness journey has come to an end. Pounds have been lost and the burn has been endured. I started this project afraid and full of excuses. Excuses to why I couldn’t, why I didn’t need to and...
