, by Motif Medical .
So...you’re in the home stretch.

First things first: you’re not alone. This “hurry up and wait” phase is one of the most mentally challenging parts of pregnancy. The good news? There are actually a good amount of things you can do while you wait that might make you feel more prepared, more relaxed, and maybe even a little bit entertained.
Here’s a list of 6 practical, productive, and fun things to try while waiting for labor to start.

In this blog, our in-house lactation director and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Ashley, will explain why it’s such a game changer to breastfeeding and pumping moms!
One of the major challenges for moms returning to the workplace after maternity leave is maintaining a healthy, routine breast pumping schedule. Moms need a private space as well as time away from the demands of the job every few hours to pump in peace. It can be difficult to talk freely about breast pumping in the workplace, but ultimately, employers benefit from supporting their working moms. What’s more, the law mandates that employers provide sufficient space and resources for moms to pump.
