This is a worthy read!

One of the best parts of my job is seeing the strength in women. Jen Epting Dary had an amazing labor that embodied strength, drive, grace, laughter, and I was fortunate to be her midwife. Please send thoughts and good vibes to Jen as she fights this tumor with the same determination. This tumor stands no chance. Positivity is Jen's middle name so let's keep the vibes flowing. I love you Jen!

The concept of a 'due' date is something that is very abstract in many cultures. If, like in Uganda, you count a pregnancy by the moons, you end up having a 'du...e month' and baby comes when she is perfectly ripe without causing mama lots of anxiety. The very talented artist who created this beautiful illustration is Itaiana Battoni - Desenho Artístico.

Hey mama! Strengthen your abs & pelvic floor, work on body movement and prepare for this wonderful journey in a specialized Prenatal Semi-Private Pilates class.
