I would prep your family members for a little bit of crazy in the days after birth.
Yeah, definitely good advice there, and it's awesome to hear about the third baby.
The, uh, first of all, your podcast, I love it, and I recommend it to everybody because having two other children, especially two boys that were at the time four and two, like, there were times that I didn't even remember that I was pregnant.
[laughs] And so I, I listened to The Birth Hour when I was driving to and from work, and it p- helped put me in the right frame of mind and kinda connect with her a little bit.
Um, and I heard some, through your p- podcast, some great resources like the TheraNatal Lactation Complete, which I really enjoyed, uh, because I'm guilty of often forgetting to give the babies the vitamin D drops, or, you know, they spit them out, and who knows how much of it they really get.
So taking that gave me a little bit of reassurance that she was getting the nutrients she needed.
Uh, another resource that I used a lot, uh, being a breastfeeding military mother, pumping while at work and traveling internationally, were the FreeMe Collection Cups.
It looks like maybe, uh, Nuks took them over or bought them, but you can look up FreeMe Collection Cups online, and they essentially are compatible with any major breast pump brand.
But you put them, you know, in your bra, under your shirt, and you can pump pretty discreetly doing that.
So I was able to use those on airplanes, walking up and down the streets of Germany drinking wine.
So I would encourage anybody that's gonna be pumping a lot to, like, consider using the FreeMe Collection Cups.
Um, I know you've mentioned it in some of your Birth Hour stuff, but the MUTU System really helped me after I figured out I had diastasis recti.
And then lastly, um, anybody could use this resource, but it's a, a website called Breastfeeding in Combat Boots that I think started as a result of women in the military who are, you know, advocating for their rights and needs to breastfeed.
